1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
1
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5
His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11
For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
1
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8
He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9
But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10
I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
11
Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12
Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13
They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17
I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19
But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21
Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23
Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25
My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28
For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
29
All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
1
The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2
For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5
He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8
Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
1
And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
3
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
5
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12
And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
17
And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
18
And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19
And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
21
And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
22
And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
23
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
29
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30
Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35
And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36
And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40
There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41
Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44
And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45
And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46
And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
47
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
