American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah;Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
For Jehovah is a great God,And a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth;The {Or, strength}heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, and he made it;And his hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah;Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
For Jehovah is a great God,And a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth;The {Or, strength}heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, and he made it;And his hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:
For he is our God,And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.To-day, {Or, if ye will hear his voice, Harden &c.}oh that ye would hear his voice!
Harden not your heart, as at {That is, strife.}Meribah,As in the day of {That is, temptation.}Massah in the wilderness;
When your fathers tempted me,Proved me, and saw my work.
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:
Wherefore I sware in my wrath,That they should not enter into my rest.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; {Or, so that they are}that they may be without excuse:
O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah;Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
For Jehovah is a great God,And a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth;The {Or, strength}heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, and he made it;And his hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:
For he is our God,And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.To-day, {Or, if ye will hear his voice, Harden &c.}oh that ye would hear his voice!
Harden not your heart, as at {That is, strife.}Meribah,As in the day of {That is, temptation.}Massah in the wilderness;
When your fathers tempted me,Proved me, and saw my work.
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:
Wherefore I sware in my wrath,That they should not enter into my rest.
Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song:Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.
Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name;Show forth his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,His marvellous works among all the peoples.
For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are {Or, things of nought}idols;But Jehovah made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are before him:Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.
Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
Oh worship Jehovah {Or, in the beauty of holiness}in holy array:Tremble before him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth:The world also is established that it cannot be moved:He will judge the peoples with equity
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
Let the field exult, and all that is therein;Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy
Before Jehovah; for he cometh,For he cometh to judge the earth:He will judge the world with righteousness,And the peoples {Or, in his faithfulness}with his truth.
By myself have I sworn, {Or, righteousness is gone forth from my mouth, a word which shall not return Or, the word is gone forth from a mouth of rightousness, and shall not return}the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;
that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and {Or, things of the world below}things under the earth,
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire;
and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth;
and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,
and sware by him that liveth {Greek: unto the ages of ages.}for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, {Some ancient authorities omit and the sea and the things that are therein.}and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be {Or, time}delay no longer:
but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his {Greek: bondservants.}servants the prophets.
And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.
And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again {Or, concerning Compare John 12:16}over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.
And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire;
and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth;
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge;My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go.
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was {Or, the Christ Compare Hebrews 11:26.}Christ.
Remember the former things of old: {Or, that}for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me;
Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods?Who is like thee, glorious in holiness,Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;
Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet.For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.
Lift up your eyes on high, {Or, and see: who hath created these? he that &c.}and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.
Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-placeIn all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,Or ever thou {Hebrew: gavest birth to.}hadst formed the earth and the world,Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Thou turnest man to {Or, dust Hebrew: crushing.}destruction,And sayest, Return, ye children of men.
For a thousand years in thy sightAre but as yesterday {Or, when it passeth}when it is past,And as a watch in the night.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
For we are consumed in thine anger,And in thy wrath are we troubled.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:We bring our years to an end as {Or, a sound}a sigh.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten,Or even by reason of strength fourscore years;Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow;For it is soon gone, and we fly away.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger,And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?
So teach us to number our days,That we may get us a heart of wisdom.
Return, O Jehovah; how long?And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness,That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,And the years wherein we have seen evil.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants,And thy glory upon their children.
And let the {Or, beauty}favor of the Lord our God be upon us;And establish thou the work of our hands upon us;Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Before the mountains were brought forth,Or ever thou {Hebrew: gavest birth to.}hadst formed the earth and the world,Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
