Psalms 71:16–18

¹³I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

¹³I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.

⁹And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

⁹And be found in him, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousnesse which is of God by faith:

³³But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³³But seeke ye first the kingdome of God, and his righteousnesse, and all these things shalbe added vnto you.

¹¹The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

¹¹The LORD will giue strength vnto his people; the LORD will blesse his people with peace.

¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

^14†Deliuer mee from blood-guiltinesse, O God, thou God of my saluation: and my tongue shall sing alowd of thy righteousnesse.

¹²And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.

¹²And I will strengthen them in the LORD, and they shall walke vp and downe in his name, saith the LORD.

⁶Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

⁶Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompence tribulation to them that trouble you:

¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁶That he would grant you according to the riches of his glory, to bee strengthened with might, by his Spirit in the inner man,

¹⁰Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹⁰Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, & in the power of his might.

⁷¶ I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

⁷¶ I will mention the louing kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on vs; and the great goodnes towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them, according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his louing kindnesses.

¹⁵My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁵My mouth shall shew foorth thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation all the day: for I know not the numbers thereof.

²Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

²Deliuer mee in thy righteousnesse, and cause me to escape: incline thine eare vnto me, and saue me.

²⁴My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

²⁴My tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought vnto shame, that seeke my hurt.

¹THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

¹¶ Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.

²⁵Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

²⁵Thy ^‖shooes shall bee yron and brasse, and as thy dayes, so shall thy strength bee.

¹³O Lord our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

¹³O LORD our God, other lordes besides thee haue had dominion ouer vs: but by thee only will we make mention of thy Name.

³¹But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

^31†But they that waite vpon the LORD, shall renew their strength: they shall mount vp with wings as Eagles, they shal runne and not be weary, and they shall walke, and not faint.

²⁴Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

²⁵In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

^24‖Surely, shall one say, In the LORD haue I righteousnesse and strength: euen to him shall men come, and all that are incensed against him, shalbe ashamed.

²⁵In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be iustified, and shall glory.

²Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew forth all his praise?

^2*Who can vtter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew foorth all his praise?

¹⁹Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

¹⁹Thy righteousnes also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like vnto thee?

¹⁷For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

¹⁷For therein is the righteousnesse of God reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, ^*The iust shall liue by faith.

³For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

³For they being ignorant of Gods righteousnesse, and going about to establish their owne righteousnesse, haue not submitted themselues vnto the righteousnesse of God.

²¹But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

²¹But nowe the righteousnesse of God without the Lawe is manifested, being witnessed by the Lawe and the Prophets.

⁹Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

⁹¶ Wherewithall shall a yong man cleanse his way? by taking heede thereto according to thy word.

¹⁰²I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

¹⁰²I haue not departed from thy Iudgements: for thou hast taught me.

⁵For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.

⁵For thou art my hope, O LORD God: thou art my trust from my youth.

⁵Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

⁵Behold, I haue taught you Statutes, and Iudgements, euen as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so, in the land whither ye goe to possesse it.

³⁶Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

³⁷David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.

³⁶Thy seruant slew both the Lyon and the Beare: and this vncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the liuing God.

³⁷Dauid saide moreouer, The LORD that deliuered me out of the paw of the Lyon, and out of the pawe of the Beare, he will deliuer me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said vnto Dauid, Goe, and the LORD be with thee.

⁹¶ And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

⁹¶ And Dauid answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said vnto them, As the LORD liueth, who hath redeemed my soule out of all aduersitie,

⁷That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁷That I may publish with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and tell of all thy wonderous workes.

¹⁶Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

¹⁶Come and heare all ye that feare God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soule.

⁴¶ And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:

⁵Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

⁶Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

⁷¶ Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

⁸Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

⁹Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

¹⁰Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

¹¹Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.

¹²Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

¹³O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

¹⁴He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

¹⁵Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

¹⁶Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

¹⁷And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

¹⁸Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

¹⁹When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

²⁰And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

²¹He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

²²Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

²³Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

²⁴Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

²⁵For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

²⁶For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

²⁷Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

²⁸Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

²⁹Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

³⁰Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

³¹Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.

³²Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

³³Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth.

³⁴O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

³⁵And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

³⁶Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord.

⁴¶ And he appointed certaine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the LORD, and to record, and to thanke and praise the LORD God of Israel,

⁵Asaph the chiefe, and next to him Zachariah, Ieiel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom: and Ieiel ^†with Psalteries and with harpes: but Asaph made a sound with cymbals.

⁶Benaiah also and Iahaziel the Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the Couenant of God.

⁷¶ Then on that day, Dauid deliuered first this Psalme to thanke the LORD, into the hand of Asaph and his brethren:

^8*Giue thankes vnto the LORD, call vpon his name, make knowen his deeds among the people.

⁹Sing vnto him, sing psalmes vnto him, talke you of all his wonderous workes.

¹⁰Glory yee in his holy Name, let the heart of them reioyce that seeke the LORD.

¹¹Seeke the LORD, and his strength, seeke his face continually.

¹²Remember his marueilous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,

¹³O ye seed of Israel his seruant, ye children of Iacob his chosen ones.

¹⁴He is the LORD our God, his iudgements are in all the earth.

¹⁵Be ye mindfull alwayes of his Couenant: the worde which hee commanded to a thousand generations:

¹⁶Euen of the ^*Couenant which hee made with Abraham, and of his othe vnto Isaac:

¹⁷And hath confirmed the same to Iacob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting Couenant,

¹⁸Saying, vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the ^†lot of your inheritance.

¹⁹When ye were but ^†few, ^*euen a few, and strangers in it:

²⁰And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people:

²¹Hee suffered no man to doe them wrong: yea, hee ^*reprooued kings for their sakes,

²² Saying, ^*Touch not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.

^23*Sing vnto the LORD all the earth: shew foorth from day to day his saluation.

²⁴Declare his glory among the heathen: his marueilous workes among all nations.

²⁵For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared aboue all gods.

²⁶For all the gods ^*of the people are idoles: but the LORD made the heauens.

²⁷Glory and honour are in his presence: strength and gladnesse are in his place.

²⁸Giue vnto the LORD, yee kinreds of the people: giue vnto the LORD glory and strength.

²⁹Giue vnto the LORD the glory due vnto his Name: bring an offering, and come before him, worship the LORD in the beautie of holinesse.

³⁰Feare before him all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not mooued.

³¹Let the heauens be glad, and let the earth reioyce: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

³²Let the sea roare, and the fulnesse thereof: let the fieldes reioyce, and all that is therein.

³³Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because hee commeth to iudge the earth.

^34*O giue thanks vnto the LORD, for hee is good: for his mercy endureth for euer.

³⁵And say yee, Saue vs, O God of our saluation, and gather vs together, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may giue thanks to thy holy Name, and glory in thy praise.

³⁶Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for euer and euer: and all ^*the people saide, Amen, and praised the LORD.

¹AND David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

²And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

³The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

⁴I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

⁵When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

⁶The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

⁷In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

⁸Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

⁹There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

¹⁰He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

¹¹And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

¹²And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

¹³Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

¹⁴The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

¹⁵And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

¹⁶And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

¹⁷He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁹They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.

²⁰He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²¹The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

²²For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²³For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

²⁴I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

²⁵Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

²⁶With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

²⁷With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

²⁸And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

²⁹For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness.

³⁰For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

³¹As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

³²For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?

³³God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

³⁴He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

³⁵He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

³⁶Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

³⁷Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

³⁸I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

³⁹And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

⁴⁰For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

⁴¹Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

⁴²They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

⁴³Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

⁴⁴Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

⁴⁵Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

⁴⁶Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

⁴⁷The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

⁴⁸It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,

⁴⁹And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

⁵⁰Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

⁵¹He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

¹¶ And Dauid spake vnto the LORD the wordes of this song, in the day that the LORD had deliuered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.

²And he said, ^*The LORD is my rocke and my fortresse, and my deliuerer:

³The God of my rocke, in him will I trust: hee is my shield, and the horne of my saluation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Sauiour; thou sauest me from violence.

⁴I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saued from mine enemies.

⁵When the ^‖waues of death compassed me: the floods of ^†vngodly men made me afraid.

⁶The ^‖sorowes of Hell compassed me about: the snares of death preuented me.

⁷In my distresse I called vpon the LORD, and cryed to my God, and hee did heare my voice out of his Temple, and my crie did enter into his eares.

⁸Then the earth shooke and trembled: the foundations of heauen mooued and shooke, because hee was wroth.

⁹There went vp a smoake ^†out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth deuoured: coales were kindled by it.

¹⁰Hee bowed the heauens also and came downe: and darkenesse was vnder his feete.

¹¹And he rode vpon a Cherub, and did flie: and hee was seene vpon the wings of the winde.

¹²And hee made darkenesse pauilions round about him, ^†darke waters, and thicke clouds of the skies.

¹³Through the brightnesse before him, were coales of fire kindled.

¹⁴The LORD thundred from heauen: and the most high vttered his voice.

¹⁵And he sent out arrowes, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

¹⁶And the channels of the Sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discouered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

¹⁷He sent from aboue, he tooke me: he drew me out of ^‖many waters.

¹⁸He deliuered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated mee: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁹They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the LORD was my stay.

²⁰Hee brought me forth also into a large place: he deliuered me, because hee delighted in me.

²¹The LORD rewarded mee according to my righteousnesse: according to the cleannesse of my hands, hath hee recompensed me.

²²For I haue kept the wayes of the LORD, and haue not wickedly departed from my God.

²³For all his iudgements were before me: and as for his Statutes, I did not depart from them.

²⁴I was also vpright ^†before him: and haue kept my selfe from mine iniquitie.

²⁵Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me, according to my righteousnesse: according to my cleannesse ^†in his eye sight.

²⁶With the merciful thou wilt shew thy selfe mercifull, and with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.

²⁷With the pure thou wilt shew thy selfe pure: and with the froward, thou wilt ^‖shew thy selfe vnsauoury.

²⁸And the afflicted people thou wilt saue: but thine eyes are vpon the hautie, that thou mayest bring them downe.

²⁹For thou art my ^‖lampe, O LORD: and the LORD wil lighten my darkenesse.

³⁰For by thee I haue ^‖run through a troupe: by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall.

³¹ As for God, his way is perfect, the word of the LORD is ^‖tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

³²For who is God, saue the LORD? and who is a rocke, saue our God?

³³God is my strength and power: and he ^†maketh my way perfect.

³⁴Hee ^†maketh my feet like hindes feet: and setteth mee vpon my high places.

³⁵He teacheth my hands ^†to warre: so that a bow of steele is broken by mine armes.

³⁶Thou hast also giuen mee the shield of thy saluation: and thy gentlenesse ^†hath made me great.

³⁷Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder me: so that my ^†feet did not slip.

³⁸I haue pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them: and turned not againe vntill I had consumed them.

³⁹And I haue consumed them and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen vnder my feet.

⁴⁰For thou hast girded mee with strength to battel: them that rose vp against me, hast thou ^†subdued vnder me.

⁴¹Thou hast also giuen mee the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

⁴²They looked, but there was none to saue: euen vnto the LORD, but he answered them not.

⁴³Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth: I did stampe them as the myre of the street, and did spread them abroad.

⁴⁴Thou also hast deliuered mee from the striuings of my people, thou hast kept mee to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not, shall serue me.

^45†Strangers shall ^‖submit themselues vnto me: as soone as they heare, they shall be obedient vnto me.

⁴⁶Strangers shall fade away: and they shall bee afraid out of their close places.

⁴⁷The LORD liueth, and blessed be my rocke: and exalted be the God of the rocke of my saluation.

⁴⁸It is God that ^†auengeth mee, and that bringeth downe the people vnder me:

⁴⁹And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted mee vp on high aboue them that rose vp against me: thou hast deliuered me from the violent man.

⁵⁰Therefore I will giue thankes vnto thee, O LORD, among ^*the heathen: and I will sing praises vnto thy Name.

⁵¹ He is the towre of saluation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his Anointed, vnto Dauid, and ^*to his seede for euermore.

⁴And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

⁴And euen to your old age I am he, and euen to hoare haires will I cary you: I haue made, and I will beare, euen I wil cary and wil deliuer you.

⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

⁴We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

⁴We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come, the praises of the LORD: and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

⁴One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

⁵I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

⁴One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shal declare thy mightie actes.

^5†I will speake of the glorious honour of thy maiestie: and of thy wonderous workes.

⁶That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

⁶That the generation to come might know them, euen the children which should be borne: who should arise and declare them to their children:

¹⁴¶ And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

¹⁵And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

¹⁶And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.

¹⁷¶ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

¹⁴¶ And it shalbe when thy sonne asketh thee ^†in time to come, saying, What is this? That thou shalt say vnto him; By strength of hand the LORD brought vs out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.

¹⁵And it came to passe when Pharaoh would hardly let vs goe, that the LORD slew all the first borne in the land of Egypt, both the first borne of man, and the first borne of beast: Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males: but all the first borne of my children I redeeme.

¹⁶And it shall be for a token vpon thine hand, and for frontlets betweene thine eyes. For by strength of hand the LORD brought vs foorth out of Egypt.

¹⁷¶ And it came to passe when Pharaoh had let the people goe, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was neere: For God saide, Lest peraduenture the people repent when they see warre, and they returne to Egypt:

³¹They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

³¹They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnes vnto a people that shalbe borne, that he hath done this.

¹⁸And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

¹⁸And it came to passe when hee made mention of the Arke of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his necke brake, and hee died: for hee was an old man, and heauie, and hee had iudged Israel fortie yeeres.

⁹¶ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

⁹¶ ^*Awake, awake, put on strength, O arme of the LORD, awake as in the ancient dayes, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

⁸¶ And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

⁸¶ And thou shalt shew thy sonne in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did vnto mee, when I came forth out of Egypt.

¹⁵Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.

¹⁵Now Eli was ninetie and eight yeeres old, and ^*his eyes ^†were dimme, that he could not see.

³⁶For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁶For Dauid after he had serued his ^‖owne generation by the will of God, ^*fell on sleepe, and was laide vnto his fathers, and saw corruption:

¹AND it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.

¹¶ And it came to passe that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dimme, so that he could not see, hee called Esau his eldest son, and said vnto him, My sonne. And hee said vnto him, Behold, here am I.

¹WHO hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

¹¶ ^*‖Who hath beleeued our report? and to whom is the arme of the LORD reuealed?

¹⁰¶ Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

¹¹Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.

¹²Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

¹³Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

¹⁴But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

¹⁵For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.

¹⁶O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.

¹⁷I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

¹⁸O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:

¹⁹And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.

²⁰¶ And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and the king.

²¹And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings unto the Lord, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:

²²And did eat and drink before the Lord on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the Lord to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.

²³Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

²⁴And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.

²⁵And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

²⁶¶ Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

²⁷And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

²⁸And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

²⁹Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

³⁰With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.

¹⁰¶ Wherefore Dauid blessed the LORD before all the Congregation: and Dauid saide, Blessed bee thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for euer and euer.

¹¹Thine, O LORD, is the greatnes, and the power, and the glory, & the victorie, and the maiestie: for all that is in the heauen & in the earth, is thine: thine is ^*the kingdome, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head aboue all.

¹²Both riches, and honour come of thee, and thou reignest ouer all, and in thine hand is power and might, and in thine hand it is to make great, and to giue strength vnto all.

¹³Now therefore, our God, wee thanke thee, and praise thy glorious Name.

¹⁴But who am I, and what is my people, that we should ^†be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of ^†thine owne haue we giuen thee.

¹⁵For we are strangers before thee, and soiourners, as were all our fathers: ^*Our dayes on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none ^†abiding.

¹⁶O LORD our God, all this store that we haue prepared to build thee an house for thine holy Name, commeth of thine hand, and is all thine owne.

¹⁷I know also, my God, that thou ^*triest the heart, and hast pleasure in vprightnesse. As for me, in the vprightnes of mine heart I haue willingly offered all these things: and now haue I seene with ioy, thy people which are ^†present here, to offer willingly vnto thee.

¹⁸O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac and of Israel our fathers, keepe this for euer in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and ^‖prepare their heart vnto thee:

¹⁹And giue vnto Solomon my sonne a perfect heart to keepe thy Commaundements, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to doe all these things, and to build the pallace, for the which I haue made prouision.

²⁰¶ And Dauid said to all the Congregation: Nowe blesse the LORD your God. And all the Congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed downe their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the King.

²¹And they sacrificed sacrifices vnto the LORD, & offered burnt offerings vnto the LORD on the morrow after that day, euen a thousand bullockes, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambes, with their drinke offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:

²²And did eate and drinke before the LORD on that day with great gladnesse, and they made Solomon the sonne of Dauid King the second time, and ^*anointed him vnto the LORD to be the chiefe gouernour, and Zadok to be Priest.

²³Then Solomon sate on the throne of the LORD, as king in stead of Dauid his father, and prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

²⁴And all the princes and the mightie men, and all the sonnes likewise of king Dauid, ^†submitted themselues vnto Solomon the King.

²⁵And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and ^*bestowed vpon him such royal maiestie, as had not bene on any king before him in Israel.

²⁶¶ Thus Dauid the sonne of Iesse, reigned ouer all Israel.

²⁷And the time that he reigned ouer Israel, was fourtie yeeres. Seuen yeeres reigned hee in Hebron, and thirtie and three yeeres reigned hee in Ierusalem.

²⁸And he died in a good old age, full of dayes, riches and honour: and Solomon his sonne reigned in his stead.

²⁹Now the acts of Dauid the King first and last, behold, they are written in the ^‖booke of Samuel the Seer, and in the ^†booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the booke of Gad the Seer,

³⁰With all his reigne and his might, and the times that went ouer him, and ouer Israel, and ouer all the kingdomes of the countreys.
