33:1 Woe to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyed; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to destroy, thou shalt be destroyed; and when thou hast made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

33:2 O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou our arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

33:3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.

33:4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it.

33:5 Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

33:6 And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure.

33:7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.

33:8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: the enemy hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.

33:9 The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is confounded and withereth away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

33:10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.

33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.

33:12 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.

33:13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?

33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil:

33:16 He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a land that reacheth afar.

33:18 Thy heart shall muse on the terror: Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed the tribute? where is he that counted the towers?

33:19 Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand.

33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnites: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

33:21 But there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

33:22 For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our king; he will save us.

33:23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey.

33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

90:1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations.

90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

90:7 For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

90:11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

90:12 So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

90:13 Return, O Jehovah; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

90:14 Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.

90:16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.

90:17 And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

2:1 And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

2:2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;

2:3 among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—

2:4 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

2:6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:

2:7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:

2:8 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

2:9 not of works, that no man should glory.

2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.
