Isaiah 38:9–18

¹AND Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

²There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

³Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

⁴The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

⁵They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

⁶The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

⁷The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

⁸He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.

⁹He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

¹⁰The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

¹¶ And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart reioyceth in the LORD, mine horne is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is inlarged ouer mine enemies: because I reioyce in thy saluation.

² There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any Rocke like our God.

³Talke no more so exceeding proudly, let not ^†arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

⁴The vowes of the mightie men are broken, and they that stumbled are girt with strength.

⁵ They that were full, haue hired out themselues for bread: and they that were hungry, ceased: so that the barren hath borne seuen, and she that hath many children, is waxed feeble.

^6*The LORD killeth and maketh aliue, he bringeth downe to the graue, and bringeth vp.

⁷The LORD maketh poore, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth vp.

^8*He raiseth vp the poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORDs, and hee hath set the world vpon them.

⁹He will keepe the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall bee silent in darkenesse; for by strength shall no man preuaile.

¹⁰The aduersaries of the LORD shalbe broken to pieces: ^*out of heauen shal he thunder vpon them: the LORD shall iudge the ends of the earth, and he shal giue strength vnto his king, and exalt the horne of his Anointed.

³⁰Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

³⁰Moreouer Hezekiah the king and the Princes, commanded the Leuites to sing praise vnto the LORD, with the words of Dauid, and of Asaph the Seer: and they sang praises with gladnes, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

³⁹See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

³⁹See now, that I, euen I am he, and there is no god with mee; ^*I kill, and I make aliue: I wound, and I heale: neither is there any that can deliuer out of my hand.

¹THEN sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

²The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

³The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

⁴Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

⁵The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

⁶Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

⁷And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

⁸And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

¹⁰Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

¹²Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

¹³Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

¹⁴The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

¹⁵Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

¹⁶Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

¹⁷Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

¹⁸The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁹For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

²⁰¶ And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

²¹And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

¹¶ Then sang ^*Moses and the children of Israel this song vnto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing vnto the LORD: for he hath triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider hath he throwen into the Sea.

²The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my saluation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation, my fathers God, and I wil exalt him.

³The LORD is a man of warre: the LORD is his Name.

⁴Pharaohs charets and his hoste hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captaines also are drowned in the red Sea.

⁵The depths haue couered them: they sanke into the bottome as a stone.

⁶Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power, thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemie.

⁷And in the greatnesse of thine excellencie thou hast ouerthrowen them, that rose vp against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

⁸And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together: the floods stood vpright as an heape, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the Sea.

⁹The enemie said, I will pursue, I wil ouertake, I wil diuide the spoile: my lust shall be satisfied vpon them: I will draw my sword, mine hand shall ^‖destroy them.

¹⁰Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea couered them, they sanke as lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹Who is like vnto thee, O LORD, amongst the ^‖gods? who is like thee, glorious in holinesse, fearefull in praises, doing wonders!

¹²Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

¹³Thou in thy mercie hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength vnto thy holy habitation.

^14*The people shall heare, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

¹⁵Then the dukes of Edom shal be amased: the mighty men of Moab trembling shall take hold vpon them: all the inhabitants of Canaan shal melt away.

^16*Feare and dread shall fall vpon them, by the greatnesse of thine arme they shall be as still as a stone, till thy people passe ouer, O LORD, till the people passe ouer which thou hast purchased.

¹⁷Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountaine of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands haue established.

¹⁸The LORD shal reigne for euer and euer.

¹⁹For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his charets and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought againe the waters of the Sea vpon them: But the children of Israel went on drie land in the mids of the sea.

²⁰¶ And Miriam the prophetesse the sister of Aaron, tooke a timbrell in her hand, and all the women went out after her, with timbrels & with dances.

²¹And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he throwen into the sea.

¹COME, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

²After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

¹¶ Come, and let vs returne vnto the LORD: for hee hath torne, and hee will heale vs: he hath smitten, and he will binde vs vp.

^2*After two daies will he reuiue vs, in the third day he will raise vs vp, and we shall liue in his sight.

¹AND in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

²Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

³Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

⁴And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

⁵Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

⁶Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

¹¶ And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angrie with mee, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

^2*Behold, God is my saluation: I will trust, and not be afraid; for the LORD IEHOVAH is my strength and my song, he also is become my saluation.

³Therefore with ioy shall yee draw water out of the wels of saluation.

^4*‖And in that day shall yee say; Praise the LORD, call vpon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

⁵Sing vnto the LORD; for hee hath done excellent things: th is is knowen in all the earth.

^6†Cry out and shout thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the holy one of Israel in the midst of thee.

¹⁸For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

^18*For he maketh sore, and bindeth vp: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

¹THEN Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,

²And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

³For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

⁴Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

⁵The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

⁶I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.

⁷When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

⁸They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

⁹But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.

¹¶ Then Ionah prayed vnto the LORD his God, out of the fishes belly,

²And said, I ^*cried ^‖by reason of mine affliction vnto the LORD, and hee heard mee; out of the belly of ^‖hell cried I, and thou heardest my voyce.

^3†For thou hadst cast mee into the deepe, in the middest of the Seas, and the floods compassed me about: all thy billowes & thy waues passed ouer me.

⁴Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will looke againe toward thy holy Temple.

^5*The waters compassed mee about euen to the soule; the depth closed mee round about; the weedes were wrapt about my head.

^6†‖I went downe to the bottomes of the mountaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer: yet hast thou brought vp my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

⁷When my soule fainted within mee, I remembred the LORD, and my prayer came in vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.

⁸They that obserue lying vanities, forsake their owne mercy.

^9**But I wil sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thanksgiuing, I will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the LORD.

¹THEN sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

²Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

³Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

⁴Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

⁵The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.

⁶In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

⁷The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

⁸They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

⁹My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.

¹⁰Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

¹¹They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.

¹²Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

¹³Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.

¹⁴Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

¹⁵And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

¹⁶Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

¹⁷Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

¹⁸Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

¹⁹The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

²⁰They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

²¹The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

²²Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

²³Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.

²⁴Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

²⁵He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

²⁶She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

²⁷At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

²⁸The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

²⁹Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

³⁰Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

³¹So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

¹¶ Then sang Deborah, and Barak the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,

²Praise ye the LORD, for the auenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselues.

³Heare, O ye kings, giue eare, O ye Princes: I, euen I will sing vnto the LORD, I wil sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

⁴ LORD, ^*when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heauens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

^5*The mountaines ^†melted from before the LORD, euen that ^*Sinai, from before the LORD God of Israel.

⁶In the dayes of ^*Shamgar the son of Anath, in the dayes of ^*Iael, the high wayes were vnoccupied, and the ^†traueilers walked thorow ^†by-wayes.

⁷ The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, vntill that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

⁸They chose new gods; then was warre in the gates: was there a shield or speare seene among fourtie thousand in Israel?

⁹My heart is toward the gouernours of Israel, that offered themselues willingly among the people: Blesse ye the LORD.

^10‖Speake yee that ride on white asses, yee that sit in Iudgement, and walke by the way.

¹¹ They that are deliuered from the noise of Archers in the places of drawing water; there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, euen the ^†righteous acts towards the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD goe downe to the gates.

¹²Awake, awake Deborah: awake, awake, vtter a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.

¹³Then hee made him that remaineth, haue dominion ouer the Nobles among the people: the LORD made me haue dominion ouer the mightie.

¹⁴Out of Ephraim was there a roote of them against Amalek, after thee Beniamin, among thy people: Out of Machir came downe gouernours, and out of Zebulun they that ^†handle the pen of the writer.

¹⁵And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah: euen Issachar, and also Barak, he was sent on ^†foot into the valley: ^‖for the diuisions of Reuben, there were great ^†thoughts of heart.

¹⁶Why abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flocks? ^‖for the diuisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

¹⁷Gilead abode beyond Iordan: and why did Dan remaine in ships? Asher continued on the sea ^‖shore, and abode in his ^‖breaches.

¹⁸Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that ^†ieoparded their liues vnto the death, in the high places of the field.

¹⁹The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, they tooke no gaine of money.

²⁰They fought from heauen, the starres in their ^†courses fought against Sisera.

²¹The riuer of Kishon swept them away, that ancient riuer, the riuer Kishon: O my soule, thou hast troden downe strength.

²²Then were the horse hoofes broken, by the meanes of the ^‖pransings, the pransings of their mightie ones.

²³Curse ye Meroz (said the Angel of the LORD) curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof: because they came not to the helpe of the LORD, to the helpe of the LORD against the mighty.

²⁴Blessed aboue women shal Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be aboue women in the tent.

²⁵He asked water, and she gaue him milke, shee brought foorth butter in a lordly dish.

²⁶Shee put her hand to the naile, and her right hand to the workemens hammer: and with the hammer shee ^†smote Sisera, shee smote off his head, when she had pearsed & striken through his temples.

^27†At her feete he bowed, he fell, he lay downe: at her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fel down ^†dead.

²⁸The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattesse, Why is his charet so long in comming? Why tarie the wheeles of his charets?

²⁹Her wise ladies answered her, yea she returned ^†answere to her selfe,

³⁰Haue they not sped? haue they not diuided the pray ^†to euery man a damosell or two? To Sisera a pray of diuers colours, a pray of diuers colours, of needle worke, of diuers colours of needle worke on both sides, meet ^†for the necks of them that take the spoile?

³¹So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that loue him, be as the Sunne when he goeth foorth in his might. And the land had rest fourtie yeeres.

¹I LOVE the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

³The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

¹¶ I loue the LORD: because hee hath heard my voice, & my supplications.

^2†Because hee hath inclined his eare vnto mee: therefore will I call vpon him as long as I liue.

^3*†The sorrowes of death compassed me, and the paines of hell gate hold vpon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴Then called I vpon the Name of the LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee deliuer my soule.

¹⁸The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:

¹⁸The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not giuen me ouer vnto death.

¹⁹Open to mee the gates of righteousnesse: I will goe into them, and I will praise the LORD:

¹I WILL love thee, O Lord, my strength.

¹I will loue thee, O LORD, my strength.

¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

¹¹Thou hast turned for mee my mourning into dauncing: thou hast put off my sackecloth, and girded mee with gladnesse:

^12†To the end that my glory may sing prayse to thee, and not be silent: O LORD my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.

¹⁷Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

¹⁹Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

²⁰He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

²¹Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

²²And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

¹⁷Fooles, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

^18*Their soule abhorreth all manner of meate: and they drawe neere vnto the gates of death.

¹⁹Then they crie vnto the LORD in their trouble: he saueth them out of their distresses.

²⁰Hee sent his word, and healed them: and deliuered them from their destructions.

²¹Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodnesse: and for his wonderfull workes, to the children of men.

^22†And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thankesgiuing: and declare his workes with reioycing.

⁹But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

⁹But we had the ^‖sentence of death in our selues, that we should not trust in our selues, but in God which raiseth the dead.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my dayes: thy yeres are throughout all generations.

⁷O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

⁷O remember that my life is winde: mine eye ^†shall no more ^†see good.

¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

^18*Their soule abhorreth all manner of meate: and they drawe neere vnto the gates of death.

¹IN those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

¹¶ ^*†In those daies was Hezekiah sicke vnto death: and Isaiah the Prophet the sonne of Amoz came vnto him, and said vnto him; Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not liue.

¹¹My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.

¹²They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.

¹³If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

¹⁴I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

¹⁵And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

¹¹My dayes are past, my purposes are broken off, euen ^†the thoughts of my heart:

¹²They change the night into day: the light is ^†short, because of darknes.

¹³If I waite, the graue is mine house: I haue made my bedde in the darknesse.

¹⁴I haue ^†said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worme, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

¹⁵And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶They shall goe downe to the barres of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

¹¹What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?

¹¹What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine ende, that I should prolong my life?

¹³I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

¹³ I had fainted, vnlesse I had beleeued to see the goodnesse of the LORD in the land of the liuing.

⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

⁹I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

⁸For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.

⁹I wil walke before the LORD: in the land of the liuing.

⁵For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

⁶Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

⁵For the liuing know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither haue they any more a reward, for the memorie of them is forgotten.

⁶Also their loue, and their hatred, and their enuy is now perished; neither haue they any more a portion for euer in any thing that is done vnder the Sunne.

¹⁴Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

¹⁵But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

¹⁴Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet iudgement is before him, therefore trust thou in him.

¹⁵But now because it is not so, ^†hee hath visited in his anger, yet ^†he knoweth it not in great extremitie:

²²For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

²²For I sayd in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eies: Neuerthelesse thou heardest the voice of my supplications, when I cryed vnto thee.

⁴Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

⁵For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

⁴Returne, O LORD, deliuer my soule: oh saue mee, for thy mercies sake.

^5*For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall giue thee thankes?

¹FOR we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

¹¶ For we know, that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolued, wee haue a building of God, an house not made with hand, eternall in the heauens.

¹²And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

¹²And as a vesture shalt thou fold them vp, and they shall be changed, but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile?

¹⁴For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
