American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every {Or, encumbrance}weight, and the sin which {Or, doth closely cling to us Or, is admired of many}doth so easily beset us, and let us run with {Or, stedfastness}patience the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus the {Or, captain}author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Forty years long was I grieved with that generation,And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,And they have not known my ways:
How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness,And grieve him in the desert!
Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,That I may answer him that reproacheth me.
Yea, my {Hebrew: reins.}heart will rejoice,When thy lips speak right things.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah;But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;And {Or, prepareth a way that I may show him}to him that ordereth his way arightWill I show the salvation of God.
Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
saying, {Psalm 22:22}I will declare thy name unto my brethren,In the midst of the {Or, church}congregation will I sing thy praise.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, {Or, having brought}in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the {Or, captain}author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,Yea, in the presence of all his people.
The meek shall eat and be satisfied;They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him:Let your heart live for ever.
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.
Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
He was despised, and {Or, forsaken}rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with {Hebrew: sickness.}grief: and {Or, he hid as it were his face from us}as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
