American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Then said I, Lo, I am come;In the roll of the book it is {Or, prescribed to}written of me:
I delight to do thy will, O my God;Yea, thy law is within my heart.
I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly;Lo, I will not refrain my lips,O Jehovah, thou knowest.
For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become {Greek: loaves.}bread.
But he answered and said, It is written, {Deuteronomy 8:3}Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of {Or, disciples}them that are taught, that I may know how {Or, to speak a word in season to him &c.}to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as {Or, disciples}they that are taught.
The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
For the Lord Jehovah will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
Michtam of David.Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.
I was cast upon thee from the womb;Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
ל LAMEDH.For ever, O Jehovah,Thy word is settled in heaven.
As for the works of men, by the word of thy lipsI have kept me from the ways of the violent.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should {See marginal note on Matthew 11:5.}preach {Some ancient authorities omit unto you.}unto you any gospel {Or, contrary to that}other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.
