A Psalm
of David.
1
 Bless the L
ORD
, O my soul: and all that is within me,
bless
his holy name.
2
 Bless the L
ORD
, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3
 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4
 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5
 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things; so that
thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6
 The L
ORD
executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7
 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8
 The L
ORD
is
merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9
 He will not always chide: neither will he keep
his anger
for ever.
10
 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11
 For as the heaven is high above the earth,
so
great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12
 As far as the east is from the west,
so
far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13
 Like as a father pitieth
his
children,
so
the L
ORD
pitieth them that fear him.
14
 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we
are
dust.
15
Â
As for
man, his days
are
as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16
 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17
 But the mercy of the L
ORD
is
from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18
 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19
 The L
ORD
hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20
 Bless the L
ORD
, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21
 Bless ye the L
ORD
, all
ye
his hosts;
ye
ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22
 Bless the L
ORD
, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the L
ORD
, O my soul.
23
 Burning lips and a wicked heart
are like
a potsherd covered with silver dross.

1
 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth
month,
in the fifth
day
of the month, as I
was
among the captives by the river of Chebar,
that
the heavens were opened, and I [Ezekiel] saw visions of God.
2
 In the fifth
day
of the month, which
was
the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3
 the word of the L
ORD
came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the L
ORD
was there upon him.
4
 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness
was
about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5
 Also out of the midst thereof
came
the likeness of four living creatures. And this
was
their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
6
 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7
 And their feet
were
straight feet; and the sole of their feet
was
like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
8
 And
they had
the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9
 Their wings
were
joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10
 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
11
 Thus
were
their faces: and their wings
were
stretched upward; two
wings
of every one
were
joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12
 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went;
and
they turned not when they went.
13
 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance
was
like burning coals of fire,
and
like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14
 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15
 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
16
 The appearance of the wheels and their work
was
like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work
was
as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17
 When they went, they went upon their four sides:
and
they turned not when they went.
18
 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings
were
full of eyes round about them four.
19
 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20
 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither
was their
spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature
was
in the wheels.
21
 When those went,
these
went; and when those stood,
these
stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature
was
in the wheels.
22
 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature
was
as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23
 And under the firmament
were
their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
24
 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25
 And there was a voice from the firmament that
was
over their heads, when they stood,
and
had let down their wings.
26
 And above the firmament that
was
over their heads
was
the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne
was
the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
27
 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28
 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so
was
the appearance of the brightness round about. This
was
the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the L
ORD
. And when I saw
it,
I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
2:
1
 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2
 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
3
 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me,
even
unto this very day.
4
 For
they are
impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord G
OD
.
5
 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they
are
a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6
 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns
be
with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they
be
a rebellious house.
7
 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they
are
most rebellious.
8
 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9
 And when I looked, behold, an hand
was
sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book
was
therein;
10
 and he spread it before me; and it
was
written within and without: and
there was
written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
3:
1
 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
2
 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3
 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat
it;
and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4
 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
5
 For thou
art
not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language,
but
to the house of Israel;
6
 not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
7
 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel
are
impudent and hardhearted.
8
 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9
 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they
be
a rebellious house.
10
 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
11
 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord G
OD
; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12
 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing,
saying,
Blessed
be
the glory of the L
ORD
from his place.
13
Â
I heard
also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
14
 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the L
ORD
was strong upon me.
15
 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
