Genesis 9

9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
9:5 And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, will I require the life of man.
9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
9:8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
9:10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations.
9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
9:15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
9:17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
9:19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.
9:20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
9:21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
9:26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
9:27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years. And he died.

Psalm 9

9:1 For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
9:2 I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
9:3 When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
9:7 But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
9:8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9:9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
9:11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
9:12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
9:13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
9:15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
9:16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.[Higgaion. Selah.
9:17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
9:19 Arise, O Jehovah; Let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
9:20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men.[Selah.

Matthew 4:23-5:12

4:23 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.
4:24 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.
4:25 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and from beyond the Jordan.
5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:
5:2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5:6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
5:10 Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
