Versliste
Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers,
to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.
Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the {Greek: wing.}pinnacle of the temple,
and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, {Psalm 41:11, 12}He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:and,On their hands they shall bear thee up,Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, {Deuteronomy 6:16}Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.
And he called the name of the place {That is, Tempting, or, Proving.}Massah, and {That is, Chiding, or Strife.}Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High {Or, That abideth…Almighty; Even I &c.}Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;My God, in whom I trust.
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover thee with his pinions,And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,And ten thousand at thy right hand;But it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,And see the reward of the wicked.
{Or, Because thou hast said, Jehovah is my refuge}For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
For he will give his angels charge over thee,To keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble:I will deliver him, and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him,And show him my salvation.
For he will give his angels charge over thee,To keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
Blessed be {Or, God and the Father See Romans 15:6 margin}the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before {Or, him: having in love foreordained us}him in love:

to the praise of the glory of his grace, {Or, wherewith he endued us}which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
unto a dispensation of the fulness of the {Greek: seasons.}times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things {Greek: upon.}in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,
