ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young manH5288 cleanseH2135 his wayH734? by taking heedH8104 thereto according to thy wordH1697.
With my whole heartH3820 have I soughtH1875 thee: O let me not wanderH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
Thy wordH565 have I hidH6845 in mine heartH3820, that I might not sinH2398 against thee.
BlessedH1288 art thou, O LORDH3068: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
With my lipsH8193 have I declaredH5608 all the judgmentsH4941 of thy mouthH6310.
I have rejoicedH7797 in the wayH1870 of thy testimoniesH5715, as much as inH5921 all richesH1952.
I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490, and have respectH5027 unto thy waysH734.
I will delightH8173 myself in thy statutesH2708: I will not forgetH7911 thy wordH1697.
GIMEL. Deal bountifullyH1580 with thy servantH5650, that I may liveH2421, and keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
OpenH1540 thou mine eyesH5869, that I may beholdH5027 wondrous thingsH6381 out of thy lawH8451. {Open: Heb. Reveal}
I am a strangerH1616 in the earthH776: hideH5641 not thy commandmentsH4687 from me.
My soulH5315 breakethH1638 for the longingH8375 that it hath unto thy judgmentsH4941 at all timesH6256.
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the proudH2086 that are cursedH779, which do errH7686 from thy commandmentsH4687.
RemoveH1556 from me reproachH2781 and contemptH937; for I have keptH5341 thy testimoniesH5713.
PrincesH8269 also did sitH3427 and speakH1696 against me: but thy servantH5650 did meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
DALETH. My soulH5315 cleavethH1692 unto the dustH6083: quickenH2421 thou me according to thy wordH1697.
I have declaredH5608 my waysH1870, and thou heardestH6030 me: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
Make me to understandH995 the wayH1870 of thy preceptsH6490: so shall I talkH7878 of thy wondrous worksH6381.
My soulH5315 meltethH1811 for heavinessH8424: strengthenH6965 thou me according unto thy wordH1697. {melteth: Heb. droppeth}
RemoveH5493 from me the wayH1870 of lyingH8267: and grant me thy lawH8451 graciouslyH2603.
I have chosenH977 the wayH1870 of truthH530: thy judgmentsH4941 have I laidH7737 before me.
I have stuckH1692 unto thy testimoniesH5715: O LORDH3068, put me not to shameH954.
I will runH7323 the wayH1870 of thy commandmentsH4687, when thou shalt enlargeH7337 my heartH3820.
HE. TeachH3384 me, O LORDH3068, the wayH1870 of thy statutesH2706; and I shall keepH5341 it unto the endH6118.
Give me understandingH995, and I shall keepH5341 thy lawH8451; yea, I shall observeH8104 it with my whole heartH3820.
Make me to goH1869 in the pathH5410 of thy commandmentsH4687; for therein do I delightH2654.
InclineH5186 my heartH3820 unto thy testimoniesH5715, and not to covetousnessH1215.
Turn awayH5674 mine eyesH5869 from beholdingH7200 vanityH7723; and quickenH2421 thou me in thy wayH1870. {Turn…: Heb. Make to pass}
StablishH6965 thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650, who is devoted to thy fearH3374.
Turn awayH5674 my reproachH2781 which I fearH3025: for thy judgmentsH4941 are goodH2896.
Behold, I have longedH8373 after thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me in thy righteousnessH6666.
VAU. Let thy merciesH2617 comeH935 also unto me, O LORDH3068, even thy salvationH8668, according to thy wordH565.
So shall I have wherewithH1697 to answerH6030 him that reproachethH2778 me: for I trustH982 in thy wordH1697. {So…: or, So shall I answer him that reproveth me in a thing}
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
So shall I keepH8104 thy lawH8451 continuallyH8548 for everH5769 and everH5703.
And I will walkH1980 at libertyH7342: for I seekH1875 thy preceptsH6490. {at liberty: Heb. at large}
I will speakH1696 of thy testimoniesH5713 also before kingsH4428, and will not be ashamedH954.
And I will delightH8173 myself in thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157.
My handsH3709 also will I lift upH5375 unto thy commandmentsH4687, which I have lovedH157; and I will meditateH7878 in thy statutesH2706.
ZAIN. RememberH2142 the wordH1697 unto thy servantH5650, upon which thou hast caused me to hopeH3176.
This is my comfortH5165 in my afflictionH6040: for thy wordH565 hath quickenedH2421 me.
The proudH2086 have had me greatlyH3966 in derisionH3887: yet have I not declinedH5186 from thy lawH8451.
I rememberedH2142 thy judgmentsH4941 of oldH5769, O LORDH3068; and have comfortedH5162 myself.
HorrorH2152 hath taken holdH270 upon me because of the wickedH7563 that forsakeH5800 thy lawH8451.
Thy statutesH2706 have been my songsH2158 in the houseH1004 of my pilgrimageH4033.
I have rememberedH2142 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, in the nightH3915, and have keptH8104 thy lawH8451.
This I had, because I keptH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
CHETH. Thou art my portionH2506, O LORDH3068: I have saidH559 that I would keepH8104 thy wordsH1697.
I intreatedH2470 thy favourH6440 with my whole heartH3820: be mercifulH2603 unto me according to thy wordH565. {favour: Heb. face}
I thoughtH2803 on my waysH1870, and turnedH7725 my feetH7272 unto thy testimoniesH5713.
I made hasteH2363, and delayedH4102 not to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687.
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
At midnightH2676+H3915 I will riseH6965 to give thanksH3034 unto thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am a companionH2270 of all them that fearH3372 thee, and of them that keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
The earthH776, O LORDH3068, is fullH4390 of thy mercyH2617: teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
TETH. Thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with thy servantH5650, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
TeachH3925 me goodH2898 judgmentH2940 and knowledgeH1847: for I have believedH539 thy commandmentsH4687.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
Thou art goodH2896, and doest goodH2895; teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
Their heartH3820 is as fatH2954 as greaseH2459; but I delightH8173 in thy lawH8451.
It is goodH2896 for me that I have been afflictedH6031; that I might learnH3925 thy statutesH2706.
The lawH8451 of thy mouthH6310 is betterH2896 unto me than thousandsH505 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.
JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
They that fearH3373 thee will be gladH8055 when they seeH7200 me; because I have hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
I knowH3045, O LORDH3068, that thy judgmentsH4941 are rightH6664, and that thou in faithfulnessH530 hast afflictedH6031 me. {right: Heb. righteousness}
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindnessH2617 be for my comfortH5162, according to thy wordH565 unto thy servantH5650. {for…: Heb. to comfort me}
Let thy tender merciesH7356 comeH935 unto me, that I may liveH2421: for thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let the proudH2086 be ashamedH954; for they dealt perverselyH5791 with me without a causeH8267: but I will meditateH7878 in thy preceptsH6490.
Let those that fearH3373 thee turnH7725 unto me, and those that have knownH3045+H3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
Let my heartH3820 be soundH8549 in thy statutesH2706; that I be not ashamedH954.
CAPH. My soulH5315 faintethH3615 for thy salvationH8668: but I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy wordH565, sayingH559, When wilt thou comfortH5162 me?
For I am become like a bottleH4997 in the smokeH7008; yet do I not forgetH7911 thy statutesH2706.
How many are the daysH3117 of thy servantH5650? when wilt thou executeH6213 judgmentH4941 on them that persecuteH7291 me?
The proudH2086 have diggedH3738 pitsH7882 for me, which are not after thy lawH8451.
All thy commandmentsH4687 are faithfulH530: they persecuteH7291 me wrongfullyH8267; helpH5826 thou me. {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
They had almostH4592 consumedH3615 me upon earthH776; but I forsookH5800 not thy preceptsH6490.
QuickenH2421 me after thy lovingkindnessH2617; so shall I keepH8104 the testimonyH5715 of thy mouthH6310.
LAMED. For everH5769, O LORDH3068, thy wordH1697 is settledH5324 in heavenH8064.
Thy faithfulnessH530 is unto allH1755 generationsH1755: thou hast establishedH3559 the earthH776, and it abidethH5975. {unto…: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}
They continueH5975 this dayH3117 according to thine ordinancesH4941: for all are thy servantsH5650.
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
I will neverH5769 forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490: for with them thou hast quickenedH2421 me.
I am thine, saveH3467 me; for I have soughtH1875 thy preceptsH6490.
The wickedH7563 have waitedH6960 for me to destroyH6 me: but I will considerH995 thy testimoniesH5713.
I have seenH7200 an endH7093 of all perfectionH8502: but thy commandmentH4687 is exceedingH3966 broadH7342.
MEM. O how love IH157 thy lawH8451! it is my meditationH7881 all the dayH3117.
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
Through thy preceptsH6490 I get understandingH995: therefore I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
I have swornH7650, and I will performH6965 it, that I will keepH8104 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
I am afflictedH6031 very muchH3966: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according unto thy wordH1697.
AcceptH7521, I beseech thee, the freewill offeringsH5071 of my mouthH6310, O LORDH3068, and teachH3925 me thy judgmentsH4941.
My soulH5315 is continuallyH8548 in my handH3709: yet do I not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
The wickedH7563 have laidH5414 a snareH6341 for me: yet I erredH8582 not from thy preceptsH6490.
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
I have inclinedH5186 mine heartH3820 to performH6213 thy statutesH2706 alwayH5769, even unto the endH6118. {to perform: Heb. to do}
SAMECH. I hateH8130 vain thoughtsH5588: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Thou art my hiding placeH5643 and my shieldH4043: I hopeH3176 in thy wordH1697.
DepartH5493 from me, ye evildoersH7489: for I will keepH5341 the commandmentsH4687 of my GodH430.
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
Thou hast trodden downH5541 all them that errH7686 from thy statutesH2706: for their deceitH8649 is falsehoodH8267.
Thou puttest awayH7673 all the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 like drossH5509: therefore I loveH157 thy testimoniesH5713. {puttest…: Heb. causest to cease}
My fleshH1320 tremblethH5568 for fearH6343 of thee; and I am afraidH3372 of thy judgmentsH4941.
AIN. I have doneH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664: leaveH3240 me not to mine oppressorsH6231.
Be suretyH6148 for thy servantH5650 for goodH2896: let not the proudH2086 oppressH6231 me.
Mine eyesH5869 failH3615 for thy salvationH3444, and for the wordH565 of thy righteousnessH6664.
DealH6213 with thy servantH5650 according unto thy mercyH2617, and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
I am thy servantH5650; give me understandingH995, that I may knowH3045 thy testimoniesH5713.
It is timeH6256 for thee, LORDH3068, to workH6213: for they have made voidH6565 thy lawH8451.
Therefore I loveH157 thy commandmentsH4687 above goldH2091; yea, above fine goldH6337.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
PE. Thy testimoniesH5715 are wonderfulH6382: therefore doth my soulH5315 keepH5341 them.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
I openedH6473 my mouthH6310, and pantedH7602: for I longedH2968 for thy commandmentsH4687.
LookH6437 thou upon me, and be mercifulH2603 unto me, as thou usestH4941 to do unto those that loveH157 thy nameH8034. {as thou…: Heb. according to the custom toward those, etc}
OrderH3559 my stepsH6471 in thy wordH565: and let not any iniquityH205 have dominionH7980 over me.
DeliverH6299 me from the oppressionH6233 of manH120: so will I keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490.
Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650; and teachH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
RiversH6388 of watersH4325 run downH3381 mine eyesH5869, because they keepH8104 not thy lawH8451.
TZADDI. RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, and uprightH3477 are thy judgmentsH4941.
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Thy wordH565 is veryH3966 pureH6884: therefore thy servantH5650 lovethH157 it. {pure: Heb. tried, or, refined}
I am smallH6810 and despisedH959: yet do not I forgetH7911 thy preceptsH6490.
Thy righteousnessH6666 is an everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and thy lawH8451 is the truthH571.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4689 have taken holdH4672 on me: yet thy commandmentsH4687 are my delightsH8191. {taken…: Heb. found me}
The righteousnessH6664 of thy testimoniesH5715 is everlastingH5769: give me understandingH995, and I shall liveH2421.
KOPH. I criedH7121 with my whole heartH3820; hearH6030 me, O LORDH3068: I will keepH5341 thy statutesH2706.
I criedH7121 unto thee; saveH3467 me, and I shall keepH8104 thy testimoniesH5713. {and I…: or, that I may keep}
I preventedH6923 the dawning of the morningH5399, and criedH7768: I hopedH3176 in thy wordH1697.
Mine eyesH5869 preventH6923 the night watchesH821, that I might meditateH7878 in thy wordH565.
HearH8085 my voiceH6963 according unto thy lovingkindnessH2617: O LORDH3068, quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentH4941.
They draw nighH7126 that followH7291 after mischiefH2154: they are farH7368 from thy lawH8451.
Thou art nearH7138, O LORDH3068; and all thy commandmentsH4687 are truthH571.
Concerning thy testimoniesH5713, I have knownH3045 of oldH6924 that thou hast foundedH3245 them for everH5769.
RESH. ConsiderH7200 mine afflictionH6040, and deliverH2502 me: for I do not forgetH7911 thy lawH8451.
PleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH1350 me: quickenH2421 me according to thy wordH565.
SalvationH3444 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563: for they seekH1875 not thy statutesH2706.
GreatH7227 are thy tender merciesH7356, O LORDH3068: quickenH2421 me according to thy judgmentsH4941. {Great: or, Many}
ManyH7227 are my persecutorsH7291 and mine enemiesH6862; yet do I not declineH5186 from thy testimoniesH5715.
I beheldH7200 the transgressorsH898, and was grievedH6962; because they keptH8104 not thy wordH565.
ConsiderH7200 how I loveH157 thy preceptsH6490: quickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617.
Thy wordH1697 is trueH571 from the beginningH7218: and every one of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941 endureth for everH5769. {Thy word…: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}
SCHIN. PrincesH8269 have persecutedH7291 me without a causeH2600: but my heartH3820 standeth in aweH6342 of thy wordH1697.
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
I hateH8130 and abhorH8581 lyingH8267: but thy lawH8451 do I loveH157.
Seven timesH7651 a dayH3117 do I praiseH1984 thee because of thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941.
GreatH7227 peaceH7965 have they which loveH157 thy lawH8451: and nothing shall offendH4383 them. {nothing…: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}
LORDH3068, I have hopedH7663 for thy salvationH3444, and doneH6213 thy commandmentsH4687.
My soulH5315 hath keptH8104 thy testimoniesH5713; and I loveH157 them exceedinglyH3966.
I have keptH8104 thy preceptsH6490 and thy testimoniesH5713: for all my waysH1870 are before thee.
TAU. Let my cryH7440 come nearH7126 beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068: give me understandingH995 according to thy wordH1697.
Let my supplicationH8467 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: deliverH5337 me according to thy wordH565.
My lipsH8193 shall utterH5042 praiseH8416, when thou hast taughtH3925 me thy statutesH2706.
My tongueH3956 shall speakH6030 of thy wordH565: for all thy commandmentsH4687 are righteousnessH6664.
Let thine handH3027 helpH5826 me; for I have chosenH977 thy preceptsH6490.
I have longedH8373 for thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068; and thy lawH8451 is my delightH8191.
Let my soulH5315 liveH2421, and it shall praiseH1984 thee; and let thy judgmentsH4941 helpH5826 me.
I have gone astrayH8582 like a lostH6 sheepH7716; seekH1245 thy servantH5650; for I do not forgetH7911 thy commandmentsH4687.
Querverweise zu Psalm 119,99 Ps 119,99
KeepH8104 therefore and doH6213 them; for this is your wisdomH2451 and your understandingH998 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH5971, which shall hearH8085 all these statutesH2706, and sayH559, Surely this greatH1419 nationH1471 is a wiseH2450 and understandingH995 peopleH5971.
For what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, who hath GodH430 so nighH7138 unto them, as the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is in all things that we callH7121 upon him for?
And what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, that hath statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 so righteousH6662 as all this lawH8451, which I setH5414 beforeH6440 you this dayH3117?
Thy testimoniesH5713 also are my delightH8191 and my counsellorsH582+H6098. {my counsellors: Heb. men of my counsel}
And lo ZadokH6659 also, and all the LevitesH3881 were with him, bearingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430: and they set downH3332 the arkH727 of GodH430; and AbiatharH54 went upH5927, until all the peopleH5971 had doneH8552 passingH5674 out of the cityH5892.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZadokH6659, Carry backH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 into the cityH5892: if I shall findH4672 favourH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, he will bring me againH7725, and shewH7200 me both it, and his habitationH5116:
But if he thus sayH559, I have no delightH2654 in thee; behold, here am I, let him doH6213 to me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto him.
AndG2532 thatG3754 fromG575 a childG1025 thou hast knownG1492 the holyG2413 scripturesG1121, whichG3588 are ableG1410 to makeG4679 theeG4571 wiseG4679 untoG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
And DavidH1732 calledH7121 for ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, and for the LevitesH3881, for UrielH222, AsaiahH6222, and JoelH3100, ShemaiahH8098, and ElielH447, and AmminadabH5992,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.
For because ye did it not at the firstH7223, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 made a breachH6555 upon us, for that we soughtH1875 him not after the due orderH4941.
And they gatheredH622 their brethrenH251, and sanctifiedH6942 themselves, and cameH935, according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, by the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {by the words…: or, in the business of the LORD}
And the priestsH3548 wentH935 into the inner partH6441 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 it, and brought outH3318 all the uncleannessH2932 that they foundH4672 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 into the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And the LevitesH3881 tookH6901 it, to carry it outH3318 abroadH2351 into the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
Now they beganH2490 on the firstH259 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 to sanctifyH6942, and on the eighthH8083 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 cameH935 they to the porchH197 of the LORDH3068: so they sanctifiedH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in eightH8083 daysH3117; and in the sixteenthH8337+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 they made an endH3615.
Then they wentH935 inH6441 to HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428, and saidH559, We have cleansedH2891 all the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof, and the shewbreadH4635 tableH7979, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof.
Moreover all the vesselsH3627, which kingH4428 AhazH271 in his reignH4438 did cast awayH2186 in his transgressionH4604, have we preparedH3559 and sanctifiedH6942, and, behold, they are beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.
Then HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 rose earlyH7925, and gatheredH622 the rulersH8269 of the cityH5892, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they broughtH935 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499, and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, and sevenH7651 heH6842 goatsH5795, for a sin offeringH2403 for the kingdomH4467, and for the sanctuaryH4720, and for JudahH3063. And he commandedH559 the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 to offerH5927 them on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.
So they killedH7819 the bullocksH1241, and the priestsH3548 receivedH6901 the bloodH1818, and sprinkledH2236 it on the altarH4196: likewise, when they had killedH7819 the ramsH352, they sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196: they killedH7819 also the lambsH3532, and they sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196.
And they brought forthH5066 the he goatsH8163 for the sin offeringH2403 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the congregationH6951; and they laidH5564 their handsH3027 upon them: {forth: Heb. near}
And the priestsH3548 killedH7819 them, and they made reconciliationH2398 with their bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196, to make an atonementH3722 for all IsraelH3478: for the kingH4428 commandedH559 that the burnt offeringH5930 and the sin offeringH2403 should be made for all IsraelH3478.
And he setH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 with cymbalsH4700, with psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and of GadH1410 the king'sH4428 seerH2374, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030: for so was the commandmentH4687 ofH3027 the LORDH3068 byH3027 his prophetsH5030. {commandment of the LORD: Heb. commandment by the hand of the LORD} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689.
And HezekiahH2396 commandedH559 to offerH5927 the burnt offeringH5930 upon the altarH4196. And whenH6256 the burnt offeringH5930 beganH2490, the songH7892 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490 also with the trumpetsH2689, and with the instrumentsH3627 ordained byH3027 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. {when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}
And all the congregationH6951 worshippedH7812, and the singersH7892 sangH7891, and the trumpetersH2689 soundedH2690+H2690: and all this continued until the burnt offeringH5930 was finishedH3615. {singers: Heb. song}
And when they had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927, the kingH4428 and all that were presentH4672 with him bowedH3766 themselves, and worshippedH7812. {present: Heb. found}
Moreover HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269 commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 to sing praiseH1984 unto the LORDH3068 with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732, and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. And they sang praisesH1984 with gladnessH8057, and they bowed their headsH6915 and worshippedH7812.
Then HezekiahH3169 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Now ye have consecratedH4390+H3027 yourselves unto the LORDH3068, come nearH5066 and bringH935 sacrificesH2077 and thank offeringsH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And the congregationH6951 brought inH935 sacrificesH2077 and thank offeringsH8426; and as many as were of a freeH5081 heartH3820 burnt offeringsH5930. {consecrated…: or, filled your hand}
And the numberH4557 of the burnt offeringsH5930, which the congregationH6951 broughtH935, was threescore and tenH7657 bullocksH1241, an hundredH3967 ramsH352, and two hundredH3967 lambsH3532: all these were for a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068.
And the consecrated thingsH6944 were sixH8337 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629.
But the priestsH3548 were too fewH4592, so that they couldH3201 not flayH6584 all the burnt offeringsH5930: wherefore their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 did helpH2388 them, till the workH4399 was endedH3615, and until the other priestsH3548 had sanctifiedH6942 themselves: for the LevitesH3881 were more uprightH3477 in heartH3824 to sanctifyH6942 themselves than the priestsH3548. {did help…: Heb. strengthened them}
And also the burnt offeringsH5930 were in abundanceH7230, with the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, and the drink offeringsH5262 for every burnt offeringH5930. So the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was set in orderH3559.
And HezekiahH3169 rejoicedH8055, and all the peopleH5971, that GodH430 had preparedH3559 the peopleH5971: for the thingH1697 was done suddenlyH6597.
And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919 the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of the LORDH3068: and they did eatH398 throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {comfortably…: Heb. to the heart of all}
The priestsH3548 saidH559 not, Where is the LORDH3068? and they that handleH8610 the lawH8451 knewH3045 me not: the pastorsH7462 also transgressedH6586 against me, and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and walkedH1980 afterH310 things that do not profitH3276.
How do ye sayH559, We are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is with us? Lo, certainlyH403 in vainH8267 madeH6213 he it; the penH5842 of the scribesH5608 is in vainH8267. {in vain made…: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}
The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them? {The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, I thankG1843 theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516.
He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.
AndG2532 honourG5091 notG3364 hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 hisG846 motherG3384, he shall be free. ThusG2532 have ye madeG208 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 of none effectG208 byG1223 yourG5216 traditionG3862.
Ye hypocritesG5273, wellG2573 didG4395 EsaiasG2268 prophesyG4395 ofG4012 youG5216, sayingG3004,
ThisG3778 peopleG2992 draweth nighG1448 unto meG3427 with theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 honourethG5091 meG3165 with their lipsG5491; butG1161 theirG846 heartG2588 isG568 farG4206 fromG575 meG1700.
ButG1161 in vainG3155 they do worshipG4576 meG3165, teachingG1321 for doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.
LetG863 themG846 aloneG863: they beG1526 blindG5185 leadersG3595 of the blindG5185. AndG1161 ifG1437 the blindG5185 leadG3594 the blindG5185, bothG297 shall fallG4098 intoG1519 the ditchG999.
Ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, which strain atG1368 a gnatG2971, andG1161 swallowG2666 a camelG2574.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 andG2532 of the platterG3953, butG1161 withinG2081 they are fullG1073 ofG1537 extortionG724 andG2532 excessG192.
Thou blindG5185 PhariseeG5330, cleanseG2511 firstG4412 that which is withinG1787 the cupG4221 andG2532 platterG3953, thatG2443 the outsideG1622 of themG846 may beG1096 cleanG2513 alsoG2532.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye are likeG3945 unto whitedG2867 sepulchresG5028, whichG3748 indeedG3303 appearG5316 beautifulG5611 outwardG1855, butG1161 are withinG2081 fullG1073 of deadG3498 men's bonesG3747, andG2532 of allG3956 uncleannessG167.
Even soG3779 yeG5210 alsoG2532+G3303 outwardlyG1855 appearG5316 righteousG1342 unto menG444, butG1161 withinG2081 ye areG2075 fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 andG2532 iniquityG458.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! becauseG3754 ye buildG3618 the tombsG5028 of the prophetsG4396, andG2532 garnishG2885 the sepulchresG3419 of the righteousG1342,
AndG2532 sayG3004, IfG1487 we had beenG2258 inG1722 the daysG2250 of ourG2257 fathersG3962, we wouldG302 notG3756 have beenG2258 partakersG2844 with themG846 inG1722 the bloodG129 of the prophetsG4396.
WhereforeG5620 ye be witnessesG3140 unto yourselvesG1438, thatG3754 ye areG2075 the childrenG5207 of them which killedG5407 the prophetsG4396.
FillG4137 yeG5210 upG4137 thenG2532 the measureG3358 of yourG5216 fathersG3962.
Ye serpentsG3789, ye generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG5343 escapeG575 the damnationG2920 of hellG1067?
WhereforeG1223+G5124, beholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 untoG4314 youG5209 prophetsG4396, andG2532 wise menG4680, andG2532 scribesG1122: andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 ye shall killG615 andG2532 crucifyG4717; andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 shall ye scourgeG3146 inG1722 yourG5216 synagoguesG4864, andG2532 persecuteG1377 them fromG575 cityG4172 toG1519 cityG4172:
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AllG3956 these thingsG5023 shall comeG2240 uponG1909 thisG5026 generationG1074.
ForG2532+G1063 when forG1223 the timeG5550 ye oughtG3784 to beG1511 teachersG1320, ye haveG2192 needG5532 that one teachG1321 youG5209 againG3825 whichG5101 be the firstG746 principlesG4747 of the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; andG2532 are become such asG1096 haveG2192 needG5532 of milkG1051, andG2532 notG3756 of strongG4731 meatG5160.
