Psalms 119:125–130

¹³Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

¹⁴But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

¹⁵This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁶For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

¹⁷But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

¹³Who is a wise man and indued with knowledge amongst you? let him shew out of a good conuersation his workes with meekenes of wisedome.

¹⁵This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, ^‖sensuall, deuilish.

¹⁶For where enuying and strife is, there is ^†confusion, and euery euill worke.

¹⁷But the wisedome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easie to be intreated, full of mercy, and good fruits, ^‖without partialitie, and without hypocrisie.

⁵Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

⁵Not that wee are sufficient of our selues to thinke any thing as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God:

⁶Who also hath made vs able ministers of the New Testament, not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit ^‖giueth life.

⁵If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

⁵If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, that giueth to all men liberally, and vpbraideth not: and it shalbe giuen him.

⁸The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

⁸The wisedome of the prudent is to vnderstand his way: but the folly of fooles is deceit.

¹⁶O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

¹⁶Oh LORD, truely I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thy handmayde: thou hast loosed my bonds.

³⁴Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

³⁴Giue me vnderstanding, and I shall keepe thy Law: yea I shall obserue it with my whole heart.

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

^10*The feare of the LORD is the beginning of wisedome: and the knowledge of the holy is vnderstanding.

¹¹Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

¹¹Thy word haue I hidde in mine heart: that I might not sinne against thee.

¹⁸Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

¹⁹I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

^18†Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wonderous things out of thy Law.

^19*I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandements from me.

²⁹Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

²⁹Remoue from mee the way of lying: and grant me thy Law graciously.

⁶⁶Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

⁶⁶Teach me good iudgement and knowledge: for I haue beleeued thy commandements.

²²But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

²²But now being made free from sinne, and become seruants to God, yee haue your fruit vnto holinesse, and the end euerlasting life.

⁷¶ In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁸And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

⁹Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

¹⁰Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

^8‖How doe ye say, We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with vs? Loe, certainly, in vaine made he it, the pen of the scribes is in vaine.

⁴Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

⁴Therefore the Lawe is slacked, and iudgement doeth neuer goe foorth: for the ^*wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therfore ^‖wrong iudgement proceedeth.

⁸But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

³¹Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

³¹Doe we then make void the lawe through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law.

¹⁴For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

¹⁴For if they which are of the law be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise made of none effect.

¹⁰⁵Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

²³For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

^23*‖For the Commandement is a lampe, and the Lawe is light: and reproofes of instruction are the way of life:

⁶For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁶For God who commaunded the light to shine out of darkenes, hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Iesus Christ.
