1
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
10 I
2
To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
2 I
3
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
18 I
4
Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
6 I
5
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
2 I
6
When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
6 I
7
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
6 I
8
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
4 I
9
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10
They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
2 I
Exodus 7
14
And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
10 I
15
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
10 I
16
And thou shalt say unto him, The Lord God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
10 I
17
Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
10 I
18
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
10 I
19
And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
10 I
20
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
10 I
21
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 I
22
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the Lord had said.
10 I
23
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
9 I
24
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
10 I
25
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the Lord had smitten the river.
10 I
Exodus 8
1
And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
11 I
2
And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
10 I
3
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
10 I
4
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
10 I
5
And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
10 I
6
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
10 I
7
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
10 I
8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the Lord.
10 I
9
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10 I
10
And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God.
10 I
11
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
10 I
12
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
10 I
13
And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
10 I
14
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
10 I
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.
10 I
16
And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 I
17
And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 I
18
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
10 I
19
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.
9 I
2 Chronicles 35
20
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
21
But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
22
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23
And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
24
His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
26
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the Lord,
27
And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Romans 2
17
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
5 I
20
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
4 I
24
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
4 I
25
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
5 I
26
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
5 I
29
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
7 I
Romans 3
1
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 I
5
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
