Psalms 78:1–7

⁴¶ Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

⁴¶ Hearken vnto me, my people, and giue eare vnto me, O my nation: for a Law shall proceed from mee, and I will make my iudgement to rest for a light of the people.

³Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

^3*Incline your eare, and come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, and I will make an euerlasting couenant with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid.

¹AND the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

²And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

³Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

⁴But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

⁵And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

⁶And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

⁷Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

⁸And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord.

⁹And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

¹⁰So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

¹¹And they offered unto the Lord the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

¹²And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

¹³That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

¹⁴And they sware unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

¹⁵And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.

¹⁶¶ And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

¹¶ And the Spirit of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Oded.

²And he went out ^†to meet Asa, and said vnto him, Heare ye me, Asa, and all Iudah, and Beniamin, The LORD is with you, while yee be with him: and if yee seeke him, he will be found of you: but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

³Now for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

⁴But when they in their trouble did turne vnto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, hee was found of them.

⁵And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were vpon all the inhabitants of the countreys.

⁶And nation was ^†destroyed of nation, and citie of citie: for God did vexe them with all aduersitie.

⁷Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands bee weake: for your worke shall be rewarded.

⁸And when Asa heard these words, and the prophesie of Oded the prophet, he tooke courage, and put away the ^†abominable idoles out of all the lande of Iudah and Beniamin, and out of the cities which hee had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the Altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

⁹And he gathered all Iudah and Beniamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: (for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.)

¹⁰So they gathered themselues together at Ierusalem, in the third moneth, in the fifteenth yeere of the reigne of Asa.

¹¹And they offered vnto the LORD ^†the same time, of the spoile which they had brought, seuen hundred oxen, and seuen thousand sheepe.

¹²And they entred into a couenant to seeke the LORD God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soule:

¹³That whosoeuer would not seeke the LORD God of Israel, ^*should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

¹⁴And they sware vnto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

¹⁵And all Iudah reioyced at the oath: for they had sworne with all their heart, & sought him with their whole desire, and he was found of them: and the LORD gaue them rest round about.

¹⁶¶ And also concerning ^*Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he remooued her from beeing Queene, because she had made an ^†idole in a groue: and Asa cut downe her idole, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brooke Kidron.

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.

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.

⁴Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

⁵O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

⁶Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

⁴Unto you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sonnes of man.

⁵O yee simple, vnderstand wisedome: and yee fooles, be yee of an vnderstanding heart.

⁶Heare, for I will speake of excellent things: and the opening of my lippes shalbe right things.

¹HEAR this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

²Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

³My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

¹¶ Heare this, all yee people, giue eare all yee inhabitants of the world:

²Both low, and high, rich and poore together.

³My mouth shall speake of wisedome: and the meditation of my heart shalbe of vnderstanding.

⁷Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

⁷Heare, O my people, and I will speake, O Israel, and I will testifie against thee; I am God, euen thy God.

¹O GOD, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

¹¶ O God, why hast thou cast vs off for euer? why doeth thine anger smoke against the sheepe of thy pasture?

⁹Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹Who hath eares to heare, let him heare.

⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

^4*Against thee, thee onely haue I sinned, and done this euill in thy sight: that thou mightest bee iustified when thou speakest, and be cleare when thou iudgest.

³⁴All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

³⁵That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

^34*All these things spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without a parable spake hee not vnto them:

³⁵That it might bee fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, ^*I will open my mouth in parables, I wil vtter things which haue bin kept secret from the foundation of the world.

³⁴But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

³⁴But without a parable spake he not vnto them, and when they were alone, hee expounded all things to his disciples.

¹¹He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹²For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

¹³Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

¹¹He answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you to know the mysteries of the kingdome of heauen, but to them it is not giuen.

^12*For whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen, and he shall haue more abundance: but whosoeuer hath not, from him shall be taken away, euen that hee hath.

¹³Therefore speake I to then in parables: because they seeing, see not: and hearing, they heare not, neither doe they vnderstand.

⁴I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

^4*I will incline mine eare to a parable; I will open my darke saying vpon the harpe.

⁶To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

⁶To vnderstand a prouerbe, and ^‖the interpretation; the wordes of the wise, and their darke sayings.

¹WE have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

¹¶ Wee haue heard with our eares, O God, our fathers haue told vs, what worke thou didst in their dayes, in the times of old.

²⁶And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

²⁷That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

^26*And it shall come to passe, when your children shall say vnto you, What meane you by this seruice?

²⁷That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORDs Passeouer, who passed ouer the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and deliuered our houses. And the people bowed the head, and worshipped.

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.

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.

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.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

⁸As we haue heard, so haue wee seene in the citie of the LORD of hosts, in the citie of our God, God will establish it for euer. Selah,

¹⁹And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

¹⁹And ^*ye shal teach them your children, speaking of them, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.

⁹Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons;

⁹Onely take heed to thy selfe, and keepe thy soule diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes haue seene, and lest they depart from thy heart all the dayes of thy life: but teach them thy sonnes, & thy sonnes sonnes:

³Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

³Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

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.

⁶And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

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

^6†And men shall speake of the might of thy terrible acts: and I wil declare thy greatnesse.

⁷And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

⁷And thou shalt ^†teach them diligently vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.

¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

¹⁸Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto haue I declared thy wonderous workes.

^18††Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not: vntill I haue shewed thy strength vnto this generation, and thy power to euery one that is to come.

¹WHY standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

²The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

⁴The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁵His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

¹¶ Why standest thou afarre off, O LORD? why hidest thou thy selfe in times of trouble?

^2†*The wicked in his pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the deuices that they haue imagined.

^3†‖For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire, and blesseth the couetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

^4‖*The wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seeke after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁵His wayes are alwayes grieuous, thy iudgements are farre aboue out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁶That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

⁷Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

⁶That this may be a signe among you, that when your children aske their fathers ^†in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?

⁷Then yee shall answere them, That the waters of Iordan were cut off before the Arke of the Couenant of the LORD, when it passed ouer Iordan, the waters of Iordan were cut off: and these stones shall bee for a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.

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:

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.

²¹And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

²²Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

²³For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

²⁴That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.

²¹And he spake vnto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shal aske their fathers ^†in time to come, saying, What meane these stones?

²²Then yee shall let your children know, saying, Israel came ouer this Iordan on dry land.

²³For the LORD your God dried vp the waters of Iordan from before you, vntill yee were passed ouer, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, ^*which hee dried vp from before vs, vntill we were gone ouer:

²⁴That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that ye might feare the LORD your God ^†for euer.

²⁶And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

^26*And it shall come to passe, when your children shall say vnto you, What meane you by this seruice?

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.

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.

⁸For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

⁹In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

¹⁰¶ But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

¹¹Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

¹²That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

¹³That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

¹⁴As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

¹⁵¶ Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

¹⁶Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

¹⁷¶ O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

¹⁸The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

¹⁹We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.

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.

⁸For hee said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so hee was their sauiour.

^9*In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saued them: in his loue and in his pitie hee redeemed them, and he bare them, and caried them all the dayes of olde.

¹⁰¶ ^*But they rebelled, and vexed his holy spirit: therefore hee was turned to be their enemie, and he fought against them.

^11**Then he remembred the dayes of old, Moses and his people, saying; Where is hee that brought them vp out of the Sea, with the shepheard of his flocke? where is hee that put his holy Spirit within him?

^12*That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arme, diuiding the water before them, to make himselfe an euerlasting name?

¹³That led them through the deepe as an horse in the wildernesse, that they should not stumble?

¹⁴As a beast goeth downe into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so diddest thou leade thy people, to make thy selfe a glorious Name.

¹⁵¶ ^*‖Looke downe from heauen, and behold from the habitation of thy holinesse, and of thy glory: where is thy zeale and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels, and of thy mercies towards me? are they restrained?

^16‖Doubtlesse thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of vs, and Israel acknowledge vs not: thou, O LORD art our Father, our Redeemer, thy Name is from euerlasting.

¹⁷¶ O LORD, why hast thou made vs to erre from thy wayes? and hardened our heart from thy feare? Returne for thy seruants sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

¹⁸The people of thy holinesse haue possessed it but a little while: our aduersaries haue troden downe thy Sanctuarie.

^19†Wee are thine, thou neuer barest rule ouer them, they were not called by thy Name.

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.

¹⁴That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

¹⁴That I may shew foorth all thy prayse in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will reioyce in thy saluation.

¹⁸Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:

¹⁸Which wise men haue tolde from their fathers, and haue not hid it:

⁴And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

⁴And yee fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in the nourture and admonition of the Lord.

⁴⁵These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

⁴⁵These are the Testimonies, and the Statutes, and the Iudgements, which Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, after they came foorth out of Egypt;

⁷And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

⁷And thou shalt ^†teach them diligently vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.

¹⁹For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

¹⁹For I know him, that hee will command his children, and his household after him, and they shall keepe the way of the LORD, to doe iustice and iudgement, that the LORD may bring vpon Abraham, that which hee hath spoken of him.

⁵This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

^5‖This he ordained in Ioseph for a testimonie, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language, that I vnderstood not.

¹⁹And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

¹⁹And ^*ye shal teach them your children, speaking of them, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.

¹⁹The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

¹⁹The liuing, the liuing, hee shall praise thee, as I doe this day: the father to the children shall make knowen thy trueth.

²⁰To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

^20*†To the Law and to the Testimonie: if they speake not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

²Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

²Much euery way: chiefly, because that vnto them were committed the Oracles of God.

⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

¹⁰He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹²He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

⁹If we receiue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: for this is the witnesse of God, which hee hath testified of his Sonne.

¹⁰Hee that beleeueth on the Sonne of God, hath the witnesse in himselfe: he that beleeueth not God, hath made him a liar, because he beleeueth not the record that God gaue of his Sonne.

¹¹And this is the record, that God hath giuen to vs eternall life, and this life is in his Sonne.

¹²Hee that hath the Sonne, hath life; and hee that hath not the Sonne, hath not life.

²¹And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

²¹And thou shalt put the Mercie-seat aboue vpon the Arke, and in the Arke thou shalt put the Testimonie that I shall giue thee.

³And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

³And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the Uaile:

⁷The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

^7‖‖The Law of the LORD is perfect, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

³Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

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.

³Which we haue heard, & knowen: and our fathers haue told vs.

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.

¹⁶And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

¹⁶And thou shalt put into the Arke the Testimonie which I shall giue thee.

¹⁵²Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

¹⁵²Concerning thy testimonies, I haue knowen of old: that thou hast founded them for euer.

¹⁹He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

^19†He sheweth his word vnto Iacob: his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.

²⁰¶ And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

²⁰¶ And he tooke and put the testimony into the Arke, and set the staues on the Arke, and put the Mercie-seat aboue vpon the Arke.

³Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

³Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created, shall praise the LORD.

¹⁰Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

¹⁰ Specially, the day that thou stoodst before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said vnto mee, Gather me the people together, and I will make them heare my wordes, that they may learne to feare mee all the dayes that they shall liue vpon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

²⁸And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.

²⁸And that these dayes should be remembred, and kept throughout euery generation, euery family, euery prouince, and euery citie, and that these dayes of Purim should not ^†faile from among the Iewes, nor the memoriall of them ^†perish from their seed.

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

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

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.

¹⁶Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

¹⁶Let thy worke appeare vnto thy seruants: and thy glory vnto their children.
