AndG2532 he chargedG1291 themG846, sayingG3004, Take heedG3708, bewareG991 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330, andG2532 of the leavenG2219 of HerodG2264.
AndG2532 as soon as he knewG1921 thatG3754 he belongedG2076 untoG1537 Herod'sG2264 jurisdictionG1849, he sentG375 himG846 toG4314 HerodG2264, whoG5607 himselfG846 alsoG2532 wasG5607 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 thatG5025 timeG2250.
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 was bornG1080 inG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG935, beholdG2400, there cameG3854 wise menG3097 fromG575 the eastG395 toG1519 JerusalemG2414,
There wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, the kingG935 of JudaeaG2449, a certainG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 ZachariasG2197, ofG1537 the courseG2183 of AbiaG7: andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 was ofG1537 the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, andG2532 herG846 nameG3686 was ElisabethG1665.
ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he sawG1492 thatG3754 he was mockedG1702 ofG5259 the wise menG3097, was exceedingG3029 wrothG2373, andG2532 sent forthG649, and slewG337 allG3956 the childrenG3816 that were inG1722 BethlehemG965, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 the coastsG3725 thereofG846, fromG575 two years oldG1332 andG2532 underG2736, accordingG2596 to the timeG5550 whichG3739 he had diligently enquiredG198 ofG3844 the wise menG3097.
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076 heardG191 of the fameG189 of JesusG2424, {tetrarch: or, governor over four provinces}
ButG1161 when he heardG191 thatG3754 ArchelausG745 did reignG936 inG1909 JudaeaG2449 in the roomG473 of hisG846 fatherG3962 HerodG2264, he was afraidG5399 to goG565 thitherG1563: notwithstandingG1161, being warned of GodG5537 inG2596 a dreamG3677, he turned asideG402 intoG1519 the partsG3313 of GalileeG1056:
NowG1161 inG1722 the fifteenthG4003 yearG2094 of the reignG2231 of TiberiusG5086 CaesarG2541, PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 being governorG2230 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 HerodG2264 being tetrarchG5075 of GalileeG1056, andG1161 hisG846 brotherG80 PhilipG5376 tetrarchG5075 of IturaeaG2484 andG2532 of the regionG5561 of TrachonitisG5139, andG2532 LysaniasG3078 the tetrarchG5075 of AbileneG9, {tetrarch: or, governor of four provinces}
ForG1063 JohnG2491 saidG3004 unto himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to haveG2192 herG846.
NowG1161 inG1722 the fifteenthG4003 yearG2094 of the reignG2231 of TiberiusG5086 CaesarG2541, PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 being governorG2230 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 HerodG2264 being tetrarchG5075 of GalileeG1056, andG1161 hisG846 brotherG80 PhilipG5376 tetrarchG5075 of IturaeaG2484 andG2532 of the regionG5561 of TrachonitisG5139, andG2532 LysaniasG3078 the tetrarchG5075 of AbileneG9, {tetrarch: or, governor of four provinces}
AndG2532 when the daughterG2364 of the saidG846 HerodiasG2266 came inG1525, andG2532 dancedG3738, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264 andG2532 them that sat with himG4873, the kingG935 saidG2036 unto the damselG2877, AskG154 of meG3165 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou wiltG2309, andG2532 I will giveG1325 it theeG4671.
NowG1161 aboutG2596 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 stretched forthG1911 his handsG5495 to vexG2559 certainG5100 ofG575 the churchG1577. {stretched…: or, began}
AndG1161 he killedG337 JamesG2385 the brotherG80 of JohnG2491 with the swordG3162.
AndG2532 because he sawG1492 itG3754 pleasedG2076+G701 the JewsG2453, he proceeded furtherG4369 to takeG4815 PeterG4074 alsoG2532. (ThenG1161 wereG2258 the daysG2250 of unleavened breadG106.)
AndG3739+G2532 when he had apprehendedG4084 him, he putG5087 him inG1519 prisonG5438, and deliveredG3860 him to fourG5064 quaternionsG5069 of soldiersG4757 to keepG5442 himG846; intendingG1014 afterG3326 EasterG3957 to bringG321 himG846 forthG321 to the peopleG2992. {Easter: Gr. Passover} {quaternions: a file of four soldiers}
PeterG4074+G3303 thereforeG3767 was keptG5083 inG1722 prisonG5438: butG1161 prayerG4335 wasG2258 madeG1096 without ceasingG1618 ofG5259 the churchG1577 untoG4314 GodG2316 forG5228 himG846. {prayer…: or, instant and earnest prayer was made}
AndG1161 whenG3753 HerodG2264 wouldG3195 have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254, the sameG1565 nightG3571 PeterG4074 wasG2258 sleepingG2837 betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254: andG5037 the keepersG5441 beforeG4253 the doorG2374 keptG5083 the prisonG5438.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 him, andG2532 a lightG5457 shinedG2989 inG1722 the prisonG3612: andG1161 he smoteG3960 PeterG4074 on the sideG4125, and raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Arise upG450 quicklyG1722+G5034. AndG2532 hisG846 chainsG254 fell offG1601 fromG1537 his handsG5495.
AndG5037 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Gird thyselfG4024, andG2532 bind onG5265 thyG4675 sandalsG4547. AndG1161 soG3779 he didG4160. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, CastG4016 thy garmentG2440 aboutG4016 theeG4675, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
AndG2532 he went outG1831, and followedG190 himG846; andG2532 wistG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076 trueG227 whichG3588 was doneG1096 byG1223 the angelG32; butG1161 thoughtG1380 he sawG991 a visionG3705.
WhenG1161 they were pastG1330 the firstG4413 andG2532 the secondG1208 wardG5438, they cameG2064 untoG1909 the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadethG5342 untoG1519 the cityG4172; whichG3748 openedG455 to themG846 of his own accordG844: andG2532 they went outG1831, and passed on throughG4281 oneG3391 streetG4505; andG2532 forthwithG2112 the angelG32 departedG868 fromG575 himG846.
AndG2532 when PeterG4074 was comeG1096 toG1722 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, NowG3568 I knowG1492 of a suretyG230, thatG3754 the LordG2962 hath sentG1821 hisG846 angelG32, andG2532 hath deliveredG1807 meG3165 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of HerodG2264, andG2532 from allG3956 the expectationG4329 of the peopleG2992 of the JewsG2453.
AndG5037 when he had consideredG4894 the thing, he cameG2064 toG1909 the houseG3614 of MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138; whereG3757 manyG2425 wereG2258 gathered togetherG4867 prayingG2532+G4336.
AndG1161 as PeterG4074 knocked atG2925 the doorG2374 of the gateG4440, a damselG3814 cameG4334 to hearkenG5219, namedG3686 RhodaG4498. {to hearken: or, to ask who was there}
AndG2532 when she knewG1921 Peter'sG4074 voiceG5456, she openedG455 notG3756 the gateG4440 forG575 gladnessG5479, butG1161 ran inG1532, and told howG518 PeterG4074 stoodG2476 beforeG4253 the gateG4440.
AndG1161 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004, It isG2076 hisG846 angelG32.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: andG1161 when they had openedG455 the door, and sawG1492 himG846+G2532, they were astonishedG1839.
ButG1161 he, beckoningG2678 unto themG846 with the handG5495 to hold their peaceG4601, declaredG1334 unto themG846 howG4459 the LordG2962 had broughtG1806 himG846 out ofG1537 the prisonG5438. AndG1161 he saidG2036, Go shewG518 these thingsG5023 unto JamesG2385, andG2532 to the brethrenG80. AndG2532 he departedG1831, and wentG4198 intoG1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117.
NowG1161 as soon as it wasG1096 dayG2250, there wasG2258 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 amongG1722 the soldiersG4757, whatG5101+G686 was becomeG1096 of PeterG4074.
AndG1161 whenG1934 HerodG2264 had sought forG1934 himG846, andG2532 found himG2147 notG3361, he examinedG350 the keepersG5441, and commandedG2753 that they should be put to deathG520. AndG2532 he went downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 toG1519 CaesareaG2542, and there abodeG1304.
AndG1161 HerodG2264 wasG2258 highly displeasedG2371 with them of TyreG5183 andG2532 SidonG4606: butG1161 they cameG3918 with one accordG3661 toG4314 himG846, andG2532, having madeG3982 BlastusG986 the king'sG935 chamberlainG1909+G2846 their friendG3982, desiredG154 peaceG1515; becauseG1223 theirG846 countryG5561 was nourishedG5142 byG575 the king'sG937 country. {was highly…: or, bare an hostile mind, intending war} {the king's chamberlain: Gr. that was over the king's bedchamber}
AndG1161 upon a setG5002 dayG2250 HerodG2264, arrayedG1746 in royalG937 apparelG2066, satG2523 uponG1909 his throneG968, andG2532 made an orationG1215 untoG4314 themG846.
AndG1161 the peopleG1218 gave a shoutG2019, saying, It is the voiceG5456 of a godG2316, andG2532 notG3756 of a manG444.
AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 smoteG3960 himG846, becauseG473+G3739 he gaveG1325 notG3756 GodG2316 the gloryG1391: andG2532 he wasG1096 eaten of wormsG4662, and gave up the ghostG1634.
ButG1161 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 returnedG5290 fromG1537 JerusalemG2419, when they had fulfilledG4137 their ministryG1248, andG2532 took with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138. {ministry: or, charge}
NowG1161 aboutG2596 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 stretched forthG1911 his handsG5495 to vexG2559 certainG5100 ofG575 the churchG1577. {stretched…: or, began}
AndG1161 he killedG337 JamesG2385 the brotherG80 of JohnG2491 with the swordG3162.
AndG2532 because he sawG1492 itG3754 pleasedG2076+G701 the JewsG2453, he proceeded furtherG4369 to takeG4815 PeterG4074 alsoG2532. (ThenG1161 wereG2258 the daysG2250 of unleavened breadG106.)
AndG3739+G2532 when he had apprehendedG4084 him, he putG5087 him inG1519 prisonG5438, and deliveredG3860 him to fourG5064 quaternionsG5069 of soldiersG4757 to keepG5442 himG846; intendingG1014 afterG3326 EasterG3957 to bringG321 himG846 forthG321 to the peopleG2992. {Easter: Gr. Passover} {quaternions: a file of four soldiers}
PeterG4074+G3303 thereforeG3767 was keptG5083 inG1722 prisonG5438: butG1161 prayerG4335 wasG2258 madeG1096 without ceasingG1618 ofG5259 the churchG1577 untoG4314 GodG2316 forG5228 himG846. {prayer…: or, instant and earnest prayer was made}

AndG2532, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 him, andG2532 a lightG5457 shinedG2989 inG1722 the prisonG3612: andG1161 he smoteG3960 PeterG4074 on the sideG4125, and raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Arise upG450 quicklyG1722+G5034. AndG2532 hisG846 chainsG254 fell offG1601 fromG1537 his handsG5495.
AndG5037 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Gird thyselfG4024, andG2532 bind onG5265 thyG4675 sandalsG4547. AndG1161 soG3779 he didG4160. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, CastG4016 thy garmentG2440 aboutG4016 theeG4675, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.

ButG1161 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 returnedG5290 fromG1537 JerusalemG2419, when they had fulfilledG4137 their ministryG1248, andG2532 took with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138. {ministry: or, charge}
NowG3767 when FestusG5347 was comeG1910 into the provinceG1885, afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 he ascendedG305 fromG575 CaesareaG2542 toG1519 JerusalemG2414.
ThenG1161 the high priestG749 andG2532 the chiefG4413 of the JewsG2453 informedG1718 himG846 againstG2596 PaulG3972, andG2532 besoughtG3870 himG846,
And desiredG154 favourG5485 againstG2596 himG846, thatG3704 he would send forG3343 himG846 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, layingG4160 waitG1747 inG2596 the wayG3598 to killG337 himG846.
ButG3303+G3767 FestusG5347 answeredG611, that PaulG3972 should be keptG5083 atG1722 CaesareaG2542, andG1161 that he himselfG1438 wouldG3195 departG1607+G1722 shortlyG5034 thither.
Let them thereforeG3767, saidG5346 he, which amongG1722 youG5213 are ableG1415, go down withG4782 me, and accuseG2723 thisG846 manG435, ifG1536 there beG2076 any wickednessG1536 inG1722 himG5129.
AndG1161 when he had tarriedG1304 amongG1722 themG846 moreG4119 thanG2228 tenG1176 daysG2250, he went downG2597 untoG1519 CaesareaG2542; and the next dayG1887 sittingG2523 onG1909 the judgment seatG968 commandedG2753 PaulG3972 to be broughtG71. {more…: or, as some copies read, no more than eight or ten days}
AndG1161 when heG846 was comeG3854, the JewsG2453 which came downG2597 fromG575 JerusalemG2414 stood round aboutG4026, andG2532 laidG5342 manyG4183 and grievousG926 complaintsG157 againstG2596 PaulG3972, whichG3739 they couldG2480 notG3756 proveG584.
While he answeredG626 for himselfG846, NeitherG3754+G3777 againstG1519 the lawG3551 of the JewsG2453, neitherG3777 againstG1519 the templeG2411, nor yetG3777 againstG1519 CaesarG2541, have I offendedG264 any thing at allG5100.
ButG1161 FestusG5347, willingG2309 to doG2698 the JewsG2453 a pleasureG5485, answeredG611 PaulG3972, and saidG2036, Wilt thouG2309 go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, and thereG1563 be judgedG2919 ofG4012 these thingsG5130 beforeG1909 meG1700?
ThenG1161 saidG2036 PaulG3972, I standG1510+G2476 atG1909 Caesar'sG2541 judgment seatG968, whereG3757 IG3165 oughtG1163 to be judgedG2919: to the JewsG2453 have I doneG91 noG3762 wrongG91, asG5613+G2532 thouG4771 very wellG2566 knowestG1921.
ForG1063 ifG1487+G3303 I be an offenderG91, orG2532 have committedG4238 any thingG5100 worthyG514 of deathG2288, I refuseG3868 notG3756 to dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 there beG2076 noneG3762 of these thingsG3739 whereof theseG3778 accuseG2723 meG3450, no manG3762 mayG1410 deliverG5483 meG3165 unto themG846. I appeal untoG1941 CaesarG2541.
ThenG5119 FestusG5347, when he had conferredG4814 withG3326 the councilG4824, answeredG611, Hast thou appealed untoG1941 CaesarG2541? untoG1909 CaesarG2541 shalt thou goG4198.
AndG1161 afterG1230 certainG5100 daysG2250 kingG935 AgrippaG67 andG2532 BerniceG959 cameG2658 untoG1519 CaesareaG2542 to saluteG782 FestusG5347.
AndG1161 whenG5613 they had beenG1304 thereG1563 manyG4119 daysG2250, FestusG5347 declaredG394 Paul'sG3972 causeG2596 unto the kingG935, sayingG3004, There isG2076 a certainG5100 manG435 leftG2641 in bondsG1198 byG5259 FelixG5344:
AboutG4012 whomG3739, whenG1096 IG3450 wasG1096 atG1519 JerusalemG2414, the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the JewsG2453 informedG1718 me, desiringG154 to have judgmentG1349 againstG2596 himG846.
ToG4314 whomG3739 I answeredG611+G3754, It isG2076 notG3756 the mannerG1485 of the RomansG4514 to deliverG5483 anyG5100 manG444 toG1519 dieG684, beforeG4250 thatG2228 he which is accusedG2723 haveG2192 the accusersG2725 face to faceG2596+G4383+G5037, and haveG2983 licenceG5117 to answer for himselfG627 concerningG4012 the crime laid against himG1462.
ThereforeG3767, when theyG846 were comeG4905 hitherG1759, withoutG4160 anyG3367 delayG311 on the morrowG1836 I satG2523 onG1909 the judgment seatG968, and commandedG2753 the manG435 to be brought forthG71.
AgainstG4012 whomG3739 when the accusersG2725 stood upG2476, they broughtG2018 noneG3762 accusationG156 of such things asG3739 IG1473 supposedG5282:
ButG1161 hadG2192 certainG5100 questionsG2213 againstG4314 himG846 ofG4012 their ownG2398 superstitionG1175, andG2532 ofG4012 oneG5100 JesusG2424, which was deadG2348, whomG3739 PaulG3972 affirmedG5335 to be aliveG2198.
AndG1161 because IG1473 doubtedG639 ofG1519 suchG5127 mannerG4012 of questionsG2214, I askedG3004 him whetherG1487 he wouldG1014 goG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, and thereG2546 be judgedG2919 ofG4012 these mattersG5130. {I doubted…: or, I was doubtful how to enquire hereof}
ButG1161 when PaulG3972 had appealedG1941 to be reservedG5083+G846 untoG1519 the hearingG1233 of AugustusG4575, I commandedG2753 himG846 to be keptG5083 tillG2193+G3739 I might sendG3992 himG846 toG4314 CaesarG2541. {hearing: or, judgment}
ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 untoG4314 FestusG5347, I wouldG1014 alsoG2532 hearG191 the manG444 myselfG846. To morrowG839+G1161, saidG5346 he, thou shalt hearG191 himG846.
And on the morrowG1887, whenG3767 AgrippaG67 was comeG2064, andG2532 BerniceG959, withG3326 greatG4183 pompG5325, andG2532 was enteredG1525 intoG1519 the place of hearingG201, withG4862+G5037 the chief captainsG5506, andG2532 principalG2596+G1851 menG435 ofG5607 the cityG4172, atG2532 Festus'G5347 commandmentG2753 PaulG3972 was brought forthG71.
AndG2532 FestusG5347 saidG5346, KingG935 AgrippaG67, andG2532 allG3956 menG435 whichG3588 are here presentG4840 with usG2254, ye seeG2334 this manG5126, aboutG4012 whomG3739 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 of the JewsG2453 have dealtG1793 with meG3427, bothG5037 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 also hereG1759, cryingG1916 that he oughtG1163 notG3361 to liveG2198 any longerG3371.
ButG1161 when IG1473 foundG2638 that heG846 had committedG4238 nothingG3367 worthyG514 of deathG2288, andG2532+G1161 that he himselfG846 hath appealedG5127 toG1941 AugustusG4575, I have determinedG2919 to sendG3992 himG846.
OfG4012 whomG3739 I haveG2192 noG3756 certainG804 thingG5100 to writeG1125 unto my lordG2962. WhereforeG1352 I have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254 beforeG1909 youG5216, andG2532 speciallyG3122 beforeG1909 theeG4675, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, thatG3704, after examinationG351 hadG1096, I might haveG2192 somewhatG5100 to writeG1125.
ForG1063 it seemethG1380 to meG3427 unreasonableG249 to sendG3992 a prisonerG1198, andG2532 not withalG3361 to signifyG4591 the crimesG156 laid againstG2596 himG846.
ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 untoG4314 PaulG3972, ThouG4671 art permittedG2010 to speakG3004 forG5228 thyselfG4572. ThenG5119 PaulG3972 stretched forthG1614 the handG5495, and answered for himselfG626:
I thinkG2233 myselfG1683 happyG3107, kingG935 AgrippaG67, because I shallG3195 answer for myselfG626 this dayG4594 beforeG1909 theeG4675 touchingG4012 all the thingsG3956 whereofG3739 I am accusedG1458 ofG5259 the JewsG2453:
EspeciallyG3122 because I knowG1492 theeG4571 to beG5607 expertG1109+G5037 in allG3956 customsG1485 andG2532 questionsG2213 which are amongG2596 the JewsG2453: whereforeG1352 I beseechG1189 theeG4675 to hearG191 meG3450 patientlyG3116.
MyG3450 mannerG3303+G3767 of lifeG981 fromG1537 my youthG3503, whichG3588 wasG1096 atG575 the firstG746 amongG1722 mineG3450 own nationG1484 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, knowG2467 allG3956 the JewsG2453;
Which knewG4267 meG3165 from the beginningG509, ifG1437 they wouldG2309 testifyG3140, thatG3754 afterG2596 the most straitestG196 sectG139 of ourG2251 religionG2356 I livedG2198 a PhariseeG5330.
AndG2532 nowG3568 I standG2476 and am judgedG2919 forG1909 the hopeG1680 of the promiseG1860 madeG1096 ofG5259 GodG2316 untoG4314 our fathersG3962:
UntoG1519 whichG3739 promise ourG2257 twelve tribesG1429, instantlyG1722+G1616 servingG3000 God dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571, hopeG1679 to comeG2658. ForG4012 whichG3739 hope's sakeG1680, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I am accusedG1458 ofG5259 the JewsG2453. {day and night: Gr. night and day}
WhyG5101 should it be thought a thingG2919 incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5213, thatG1487 GodG2316 should raiseG1453 the deadG3498?
IG1473 verilyG3303+G3767 thoughtG1380 with myselfG1683, that I oughtG1163 to doG4238 many thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480.
Which thingG3739 IG4160 alsoG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 manyG4183 of the saintsG40 didG2623 IG1473 shut upG2623 in prisonG5438, having receivedG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749; andG5037 when theyG846 were put to deathG337, I gaveG2702 my voiceG5586 against them.
AndG2532 I punishedG5097 themG846 oftG4178 inG2596 everyG3956 synagogueG4864, and compelledG315 them to blasphemeG987; andG5037 beingG1693 exceedinglyG4057 mad againstG1693 themG846, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2532 untoG1519+G2193 strangeG1854 citiesG4172.
WhereuponG1722+G3739 as I wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749,
At middayG2250+G3319, O kingG935, I sawG1492 inG2596 the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, aboveG5228 the brightnessG2987 of the sunG2246, shining round aboutG4034 meG3165 andG2532 them which journeyedG4198 withG4862 meG1698.
AndG1161 when weG2257 wereG2667 allG3956 fallenG2667 toG1519 the earthG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 speakingG2980 untoG4314 meG3165, andG2532 sayingG3004 in the HebrewG1446 tongueG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165? it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
AndG1161 IG1473 saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377.
ButG235 riseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3700 unto theeG4671 forG1519 this purposeG5124, to makeG4400 theeG4571 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of these things whichG3739 thou hast seenG1492, andG5037 of those things in the whichG3739 I will appearG3700 unto theeG4671;
DeliveringG1807 theeG4571 fromG1537 the peopleG2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG1484, untoG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649 theeG4571,
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
WhereuponG3606, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, I wasG1096 notG3756 disobedientG545 unto the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701:
ButG235 shewedG518 firstG4412 unto them ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG5561 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, and doG4238 worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3341.
ForG1752 these causesG5130 the JewsG2453 caughtG4815 meG3165 inG1722 the templeG2411, and went aboutG3987 to killG1315 me.
HavingG5177 thereforeG3767 obtainedG5177 helpG1947 ofG3844 GodG2316, I continueG2476 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250, witnessingG3140 bothG5037 to smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, sayingG3004 none other thingsG3762 thanG1622 those whichG3739+G5037 the prophetsG4396 andG2532 MosesG3475 did sayG2980 shouldG3195 comeG1096:
ThatG1487 ChristG5547 should sufferG3805, and thatG1487 he should be the firstG4413 that should riseG386 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and shouldG3195 shewG2605 lightG5457 unto the peopleG2992, andG2532 to the GentilesG1484.
AndG1161 as heG846 thusG5023 spake for himselfG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, PaulG3972, thou art beside thyselfG3105; muchG4183 learningG1121 doth makeG4062 theeG4571 madG1519+G3130.
ButG1161 he saidG5346, I amG3105 notG3756 madG3105, most nobleG2903 FestusG5347; butG235 speak forthG669 the wordsG4487 of truthG225 andG2532 sobernessG4997.
ForG1063 the kingG935 knowethG1987 ofG4012 theseG5130 things, beforeG4314 whomG3739 alsoG2532 I speakG2980 freelyG3955: forG1063 I am persuadedG3982 thatG3756 noneG5100+G3762 of these thingsG5130 are hiddenG2990 from himG846; forG1063 this thingG5124 wasG2076 notG3756 doneG4238 inG1722 a cornerG1137.
KingG935 AgrippaG67, believest thouG4100 the prophetsG4396? I knowG1492 thatG3754 thou believestG4100.
ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 untoG4314 PaulG3972, AlmostG1722+G3641 thou persuadestG3982 meG3165 to beG1096 a ChristianG5546.
AndG1161 PaulG3972 saidG2036, I wouldG302+G2172 to GodG2316, that notG3756 onlyG3440 thouG4571, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 that hearG191 meG3450 this dayG4594, wereG1096 bothG2532 almostG1722+G3641, andG2532 altogetherG1722+G4183 suchG5108 asG3697+G2504 I amG1510, exceptG3924 theseG5130 bondsG1199.
AndG2532 when heG846 hadG2036 thusG5023 spokenG2036, the kingG935 rose upG450, andG2532 the governorG2232, andG5037 BerniceG959, andG2532 they that sat withG4775 themG846:
AndG2532 when they were gone asideG402, they talkedG2980 betweenG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG3004+G3754, ThisG3778 manG444 doethG4238 nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 of bondsG1199.
ThenG1161 saidG5346 AgrippaG67 unto FestusG5347, ThisG3778 manG444 mightG1410 have been set at libertyG630, ifG1508 he hadG1941 notG1508 appealed untoG1941 CaesarG2541.
AndG1161 afterG3326 certainG5100 daysG2250, when FelixG5344 cameG3854 withG4862 hisG846 wifeG1135 DrusillaG1409, which wasG5607 a JewessG2453, he sent forG3343 PaulG3972, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 concerningG4012 the faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547.
AndG2532 he chargedG1291 themG846, sayingG3004, Take heedG3708, bewareG991 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330, andG2532 of the leavenG2219 of HerodG2264.
It is reportedG191 commonlyG3654 that there is fornicationG4202 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 suchG5108 fornicationG4202 asG3748 isG3687 not so muchG3761 as namedG3687 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, thatG5620 oneG5100 should haveG2192 his father'sG3962 wifeG1135.
AndG2532 yeG5210 areG2075 puffed upG5448, andG2532 haveG3996 notG3780 ratherG3123 mournedG3996, thatG2443 he that hath doneG4160 thisG5124 deedG2041 might be taken awayG1808 fromG1537 amongG3319 youG5216.
ForG1063 IG1473 verilyG3303, asG5613 absentG548 in bodyG4983, butG1161 presentG3918 in spiritG4151, have judgedG2919 alreadyG2235, asG5613 though I were presentG3918, concerning him that hathG2716 soG3779 doneG2716 this deedG5124, {judged: or, determined}
InG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, when yeG5216 are gathered togetherG4863, andG2532 myG1699 spiritG4151, withG4862 the powerG1411 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
To deliverG3860 such an oneG5108 unto SatanG4567 forG1519 the destructionG3639 of the fleshG4561, thatG2443 the spiritG4151 may be savedG4982 inG1722 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
YourG5216 gloryingG2745 is notG3756 goodG2570. Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 a littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavenethG2220 the wholeG3650 lumpG5445?
Purge outG1571 thereforeG3767 the oldG3820 leavenG2219, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 a newG3501 lumpG5445, asG2531 ye areG2075 unleavenedG106. ForG1063 evenG2532 ChristG5547 ourG2257 passoverG3957 is sacrificedG2380 forG5228 usG2257: {is sacrificed: or, is slain}
ThereforeG5620 let us keep the feastG1858, notG3361 withG1722 oldG3820 leavenG2219, neitherG3366 withG1722 the leavenG2219 of maliceG2549 andG2532 wickednessG4189; butG235 withG1722 the unleavenedG106 bread of sincerityG1505 andG2532 truthG225. {the feast: or, holyday}
I wroteG1125 unto youG5213 inG1722 an epistleG1992 notG3361 to companyG4874 with fornicatorsG4205:
YetG2532 notG3756 altogetherG3843 with the fornicatorsG4205 of thisG5127 worldG2889, orG2228 with the covetousG4123, orG2228 extortionersG727, orG2228 with idolatersG1496; forG1893 thenG686 must ye needsG3784 goG1831 out ofG1537 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 nowG3570 I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213 notG3361 to keep companyG4874, ifG1437 any manG5100 that is calledG3687 a brotherG80 beG2228 a fornicatorG4205, orG2228 covetousG4123, orG2228 an idolaterG1496, orG2228 a railerG3060, orG2228 a drunkardG3183, orG2228 an extortionerG727; with such an oneG5108 no notG3366 to eatG4906.
ForG1063 whatG5101 have IG3427 to do to judgeG2919 them alsoG2532 that are withoutG1854? doG2919 notG3780 yeG5210 judgeG2919 them that are withinG2080?
ButG1161 them that are withoutG1854 GodG2316 judgethG2919. ThereforeG2532 put awayG1808 fromG1537 among yourselvesG5216 thatG846 wicked personG4190.
DareG5111 anyG5100 of youG5216, havingG2192 a matterG4229 againstG4314 anotherG2087, go to lawG2919 beforeG1909 the unjustG94, andG2532 notG3780 beforeG1909 the saintsG40?
Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 thatG3754 the saintsG40 shall judgeG2919 the worldG2889? andG2532 ifG1487 the worldG2889 shall be judgedG2919 byG1722 youG5213, are yeG2075 unworthyG370 to judgeG2922 the smallest mattersG1646?
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 we shall judgeG2919 angelsG32? how much moreG3386+G1065 things that pertain to this lifeG982?
IfG1437 thenG3303+G3767 ye haveG2192 judgmentsG2922 of things pertaining to this lifeG982, setG2523 themG5128 to judge who are least esteemedG1848 inG1722 the churchG1577.
I speakG3004 toG4314 yourG5213 shameG1791. Is it soG3779, that thereG2076 is notG3756 a wise manG4680 amongG1722 youG5213? no, notG3761 oneG1520 thatG3739 shall be ableG1410 to judgeG1252 betweenG303+G3319 hisG846 brethrenG80?
ButG235 brotherG80 goeth to lawG2919 withG3326 brotherG80, andG2532 thatG5124 beforeG1909 the unbelieversG571.
NowG2235 thereforeG3303+G3767 there isG2076 utterlyG3654 a faultG2275 amongG1722 youG5213, becauseG3754 ye goG2192 to lawG2917 one withG3326 anotherG1438. WhyG1302 do yeG91 notG3780 ratherG3123 take wrongG91? whyG1302 do yeG650 notG3780 ratherG3123 suffer yourselves to be defraudedG650?
NayG235, yeG5210 do wrongG91, andG2532 defraudG650, andG2532 thatG5023 your brethrenG80.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,
NorG3777 thievesG2812, norG3777 covetousG4123, norG3777 drunkardsG3183, norG3756 revilersG3060, norG3756 extortionersG727, shall inheritG3756+G2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 suchG5023 wereG2258 some of youG5100: butG235 ye are washedG628, butG235 ye are sanctifiedG37, butG235 ye are justifiedG1344 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of ourG2257 GodG2316.
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 unto meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 IG1473 willG1850 notG3756 be brought under the powerG1850 ofG5259 anyG5100. {expedient: or, profitable}
MeatsG1033 for the bellyG2836, andG2532 the bellyG2836 for meatsG1033: butG1161 GodG2316 shall destroyG2673 bothG2532 itG5026 andG2532 themG5023. NowG1161 the bodyG4983 is notG3756 for fornicationG4202, butG235 for the LordG2962; andG2532 the LordG2962 for the bodyG4983. {Meats: not flesh only, but food of any kind}
AndG1161 GodG2316 hathG1453 bothG2532 raised upG1453 the LordG2962, andG2532 willG1825 alsoG2532 raise upG1825 usG2248 byG1223 his ownG846 powerG1411.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 areG2076 the membersG3196 of ChristG5547? shall IG142 thenG3767 takeG142 the membersG3196 of ChristG5547, and makeG4160 them the membersG3196 of an harlotG4204? God forbidG3361+G1096.
WhatG2228? know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 he which is joinedG2853 to an harlotG4204 isG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983? forG1063 twoG1417, saith heG5346, shall beG2071 oneG1519+G3391 fleshG4561.
ButG1161 he that is joinedG2853 unto the LordG2962 isG2076 oneG1520 spiritG4151.
FleeG5343 fornicationG4202. EveryG3956 sinG265 thatG3739+G1437 a manG444 doethG4160 isG2076 withoutG1622 the bodyG4983; butG1161 he that committeth fornicationG4203 sinnethG264 againstG1519 his ownG2398 bodyG4983.
WhatG2228? know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodyG4983 isG2076 the templeG3485 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 which is inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 ye haveG2192 ofG575 GodG2316, andG2532 ye areG2075 notG3756 your ownG1438?
ForG1063 ye are boughtG59 with a priceG5092: thereforeG1211 glorifyG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 yourG5216 bodyG4983, andG2532 inG1722 yourG5216 spiritG4151, whichG3748 areG2076 God'sG2316.
Be yeG1096 notG3361 unequally yoked togetherG2086 with unbelieversG571: forG1063 whatG5101 fellowshipG3352 hath righteousnessG1343 withG2532 unrighteousnessG458? andG1161 whatG5101 communionG2842 hath lightG5457 withG4314 darknessG4655?
AndG1161 whatG5101 concordG4857 hath ChristG5547 withG4314 BelialG955? orG2228 whatG5101 partG3310 hath he that believethG4103 withG3326 an infidelG571?
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
AndG2532 will beG2071+G1519 a FatherG3962 unto youG5213, andG2532 yeG5210 shall beG2071 myG3427 sonsG5207+G1519 andG2532 daughtersG2364, saithG3004 the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076 heardG191 of the fameG189 of JesusG2424, {tetrarch: or, governor over four provinces}
AndG2532 saidG2036 unto hisG846 servantsG3816, ThisG3778 isG2076 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; heG846 is risenG1453 fromG575 the deadG3498; andG2532 thereforeG1223+G5124 mighty worksG1411 do shew forth themselvesG1754 inG1722 himG846. {do…: or, are wrought by him}
ForG1063 HerodG2264 had laid holdG2902 on JohnG2491, and boundG1210 himG846, andG2532 putG5087 him inG1722 prisonG5438 forG1223 Herodias'G2266 sakeG1223, hisG846 brotherG80 Philip'sG5376 wifeG1135.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 saidG3004 unto himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to haveG2192 herG846.
AndG2532 when he wouldG2309 have putG615 himG846 to deathG615, he fearedG5399 the multitudeG3793, becauseG3754 they countedG2192 himG846 asG5613 a prophetG4396.
ButG1161 when Herod'sG2264 birthdayG1077 was keptG71, the daughterG2364 of HerodiasG2266 dancedG3738 before themG1722+G3319, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264. {before…: Gr. in the midst}
WhereuponG3606 he promisedG3670 withG3326 an oathG3727 to giveG1325 herG846 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 she would askG154.
AndG1161 she, being before instructedG4264 ofG5259 herG846 motherG3384, saidG5346, GiveG1325 meG3427 hereG5602 JohnG2491 Baptist'sG910 headG2776 inG1909 a chargerG4094.
AndG2532 the kingG935 was sorryG3076: nevertheless forG1161+G1223 the oath's sakeG3727, andG2532 them which sat with him at meatG4873, he commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 her.
AndG2532 he sentG3992, and beheadedG607 JohnG2491 inG1722 the prisonG5438.
AndG2532 hisG846 headG2776 was broughtG5342 inG1909 a chargerG4094, andG2532 givenG1325 to the damselG2877: andG2532 she broughtG5342 it to herG846 motherG3384.
AndG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and took upG142 the bodyG4983, andG2532 buriedG2290 itG846, andG2532 wentG2064 and toldG518 JesusG2424.
WhenG2532 JesusG2424 heardG191 of it, he departedG402 thenceG1564 byG1722 shipG4143 intoG1519 a desertG2048 placeG5117 apartG2596+G2398: andG2532 when the peopleG3793 had heardG191 thereof, they followedG190 himG846 on footG3979 out ofG575 the citiesG4172.
AndG2532 kingG935 HerodG2264 heardG191 of him; (forG1063 hisG846 nameG3686 wasG1096 spread abroadG5318:) andG2532 he saidG3004, ThatG3754 JohnG2491 the BaptistG907 was risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 thereforeG1223+G5124 mighty worksG1411 do shew forth themselvesG1754 inG1722 himG846.
OthersG243 saidG3004, ThatG3754 it isG2076 EliasG2243. AndG1161 othersG243 saidG3004, ThatG3754 it isG2076 a prophetG4396, orG2228 asG5613 one ofG1520 the prophetsG4396.
ButG1161 when HerodG2264 heardG191 thereof, he saidG2036, ItG3778 isG2076 JohnG2491, whomG3754+G3739 IG1473 beheadedG607: heG846 is risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
ForG1063 HerodG2264 himselfG846 had sent forthG649 and laid holdG2902 upon JohnG2491, andG2532 boundG1210 himG846 inG1722 prisonG5438 forG1223 Herodias'G2266 sakeG1223, hisG846 brotherG80 Philip'sG5376 wifeG1135: forG3754 he had marriedG1060 herG846.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 had saidG3004 unto HerodG2264+G3754, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to haveG2192 thyG4675 brother'sG80 wifeG1135.
ThereforeG1161 HerodiasG2266 had a quarrelG1758 against himG846, andG2532 wouldG2309 have killedG615 himG846; butG2532 she couldG1410 notG3756: {a quarrel: or, an inward grudge}
ForG1063 HerodG2264 fearedG5399 JohnG2491, knowingG1492 that heG846 was a justG1342 manG435 andG2532 an holyG40, andG2532 observedG4933 himG846; andG2532 when he heardG191 himG846, he didG4160 many thingsG4183, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 gladlyG2234. {observed him: or, kept him, or, saved him}
AndG2532 when a convenientG2121 dayG2250 was comeG1096, thatG3753 HerodG2264 on hisG846 birthdayG1077 madeG4160 a supperG1173 to hisG846 lordsG3175+G2532, high captainsG5506, andG2532 chiefG4413 estates of GalileeG1056;
AndG2532 when the daughterG2364 of the saidG846 HerodiasG2266 came inG1525, andG2532 dancedG3738, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264 andG2532 them that sat with himG4873, the kingG935 saidG2036 unto the damselG2877, AskG154 of meG3165 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou wiltG2309, andG2532 I will giveG1325 it theeG4671.
AndG2532 he swareG3660 unto herG846, WhatsoeverG3754+G3739+G1437 thou shalt askG154 of meG3165, I will giveG1325 it theeG4671, untoG2193 the halfG2255 of myG3450 kingdomG932.
AndG1161 she went forthG1831, and saidG2036 unto herG846 motherG3384, WhatG5101 shall I askG154? AndG1161 she saidG2036, The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 she came inG1525 straightwayG2112 withG3326 hasteG4710 untoG4314 the kingG935, and askedG154, sayingG3004, I willG2309 thatG2443 thou giveG1325 meG3427 by and byG1824 inG1909 a chargerG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 the kingG935 wasG1096 exceeding sorryG4036; yet forG1223 his oath's sakeG3727, andG2532 for their sakes whichG3588 sat with himG4873, he wouldG2309 notG3756 rejectG114 herG846.
AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 the kingG935 sentG649 an executionerG4688, and commandedG2004 hisG846 headG2776 to be broughtG5342: andG1161 he wentG565 and beheadedG607 himG846 inG1722 the prisonG5438, {an…: or, one of his guard}
AndG2532 broughtG5342 hisG846 headG2776 inG1909 a chargerG4094, andG2532 gaveG1325 itG846 to the damselG2877: andG2532 the damselG2877 gaveG1325 itG846 to herG846 motherG3384.
AndG2532 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 heardG191 of it, they cameG2064 andG2532 took upG142 hisG846 corpseG4430, andG2532 laidG5087 itG846 inG1722 a tombG3419.
ForG1063 HerodG2264 fearedG5399 JohnG2491, knowingG1492 that heG846 was a justG1342 manG435 andG2532 an holyG40, andG2532 observedG4933 himG846; andG2532 when he heardG191 himG846, he didG4160 many thingsG4183, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 gladlyG2234. {observed him: or, kept him, or, saved him}
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 was bornG1080 inG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG935, beholdG2400, there cameG3854 wise menG3097 fromG575 the eastG395 toG1519 JerusalemG2414,
SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 he that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG1492 hisG846 starG792 inG1722 the eastG395, andG2532 are comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846.
WhenG1161 HerodG2264 the kingG935 had heardG191 these things, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 allG3956 JerusalemG2414 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 when he had gatheredG4863 allG3956 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122 of the peopleG2992 togetherG4863, he demandedG4441 ofG3844 themG846 whereG4226 ChristG5547 should be bornG1080.
AndG1161 they saidG2036 unto himG846, InG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449: forG1063 thusG3779 it is writtenG1125 byG1223 the prophetG4396,
AndG2532 thouG4771 BethlehemG965, in the landG1093 of JudaG2448, artG1488 notG3760 the leastG1646 amongG1722 the princesG2232 of JudaG2448: forG1063 out ofG1537 theeG4675 shall comeG1831 a GovernorG2233, thatG3748 shall ruleG4165 myG3450 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474. {rule: or, feed}
ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he had privilyG2977 calledG2564 the wise menG3097, enquiredG198 ofG3844 themG846 diligentlyG198 what timeG5550 the starG792 appearedG5316.
AndG2532 he sentG3992 themG846 toG1519 BethlehemG965, and saidG2036, GoG4198 and searchG1833 diligentlyG199 forG4012 the young childG3813; andG1161 whenG1875 ye have foundG2147 him, bringG518 meG3427 word againG518, thatG3704 I may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 himG846 alsoG2504.
WhenG1161 they had heardG191 the kingG935, they departedG4198; andG2532, loG2400, the starG792, whichG3739 they sawG1492 inG1722 the eastG395, went beforeG4254 themG846, tillG2193 it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 overG1883 whereG3757 the young childG3813 wasG2258.
WhenG1161 they sawG1492 the starG792, they rejoicedG5463 with exceedingG4970 greatG3173 joyG5479.
AndG2532 when they were comeG2064 intoG1519 the houseG3614, they sawG2147+G1492 the young childG3813 withG3326 MaryG3137 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 fell downG4098, and worshippedG4352 himG846: andG2532 when they had openedG455 theirG846 treasuresG2344, they presentedG4374 unto himG846 giftsG1435; goldG5557, andG2532 frankincenseG3030, andG2532 myrrhG4666. {presented: or, offered}
AndG2532 being warned of GodG5537 inG2596 a dreamG3677 that they shouldG344 notG3361 returnG344 toG4314 HerodG2264, they departedG402 intoG1519 their ownG846 countryG5561 anotherG1223+G243 wayG3598.
AndG1161 when theyG846 were departedG402, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearethG5316 to JosephG2501 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, AriseG1453, and takeG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 fleeG5343 intoG1519 EgyptG125, andG2532 be thouG2468 thereG1563 untilG2193 IG302 bringG2036 theeG4671 wordG2036: forG1063 HerodG2264 willG3195 seekG2212 the young childG3813 to destroyG622 himG846.
WhenG1161 he aroseG1453, he tookG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 by nightG3571, andG2532 departedG402 intoG1519 EgyptG125:
AndG2532 wasG2258 thereG1563 untilG2193 the deathG5054 of HerodG2264: thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 ofG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, Out ofG1537 EgyptG125 have I calledG2564 myG3450 sonG5207.
ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he sawG1492 thatG3754 he was mockedG1702 ofG5259 the wise menG3097, was exceedingG3029 wrothG2373, andG2532 sent forthG649, and slewG337 allG3956 the childrenG3816 that were inG1722 BethlehemG965, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 the coastsG3725 thereofG846, fromG575 two years oldG1332 andG2532 underG2736, accordingG2596 to the timeG5550 whichG3739 he had diligently enquiredG198 ofG3844 the wise menG3097.
ThenG5119 was fulfilledG4137 that whichG3588 was spokenG4483 byG5259 JeremyG2408 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,
InG1722 RamaG4471 was thereG191 a voiceG5456 heardG191, lamentationG2355, andG2532 weepingG2805, andG2532 greatG4183 mourningG3602, RachelG4478 weepingG2799 for herG846 childrenG5043, andG2532 wouldG2309 notG3756 be comfortedG3870, becauseG3754 they areG1526 notG3756.
ButG1161 when HerodG2264 was deadG5053, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearethG5316 inG2596 a dreamG3677 to JosephG2501 inG1722 EgyptG125,
SayingG3004, AriseG1453, and takeG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 goG4198 intoG1519 the landG1093 of IsraelG2474: forG1063 they are deadG2348 whichG3588 soughtG2212 the young child'sG3813 lifeG5590.
AndG1161 he aroseG1453, and tookG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 cameG2064 intoG1519 the landG1093 of IsraelG2474.
ButG1161 when he heardG191 thatG3754 ArchelausG745 did reignG936 inG1909 JudaeaG2449 in the roomG473 of hisG846 fatherG3962 HerodG2264, he was afraidG5399 to goG565 thitherG1563: notwithstandingG1161, being warned of GodG5537 inG2596 a dreamG3677, he turned asideG402 intoG1519 the partsG3313 of GalileeG1056:
AndG2532 he cameG2064 and dweltG2730 inG1519 a cityG4172 calledG3004 NazarethG3478: thatG3704 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 byG1223 the prophetsG4396+G3754, He shall be calledG2564 a NazareneG3480.
ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AmongG1722 those that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there isG2076 notG3762 a greaterG3187 prophetG4396 thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: butG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 greater thanG3187 heG846.
The fearH2731 of manH120 bringethH5414 a snareH4170: but whoso putteth his trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be safeH7682. {safe: Heb. set on high}
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.
