  • 1st Corinthians 7
    Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
    Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
    Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
    The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
    Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
    But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
    For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
    I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
    But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
    And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
    But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
    But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
    And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
    For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
    But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
    For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
    But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
    Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
    Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
    Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
    Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
    For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
    Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
    Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
    Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
    I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
    Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
    But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
    But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
    And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
    And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
    But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
    But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
    There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spiri

  • Psalms 96,97,98,99
    O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
    Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
    Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
    For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
    For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
    Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
    Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
    Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
    O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
    Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
    Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
    Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
    Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
    The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
    Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
    A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
    His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
    The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
    The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
    Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
    Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
    For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
    Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
    Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
    Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
    O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
    The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
    He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
    Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
    Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
    With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
    Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
    Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
    Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
    The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
    The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
    Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
    The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
    Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
    Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
    He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
    Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

  • Exodus 37
    And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
    And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
    And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
    And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
    And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
    And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
    And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
    One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
    And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
    And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:
    And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
    Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
    And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
    Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
    And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
    And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
    And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
    And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
    Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.
    And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
    And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.
    Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
    And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
    Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
    And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
    And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
    And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.
    And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
    And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.

  • Psalms 94,95
    O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
    Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
    LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
    How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
    They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
    They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
    Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
    Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
    He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
    He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
    The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
    Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
    That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
    For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
    But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
    Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
    Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
    When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
    In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
    Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
    They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
    But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
    And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
    O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
    Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
    For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
    In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
    The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
    O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
    For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
    Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
    When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
    Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
    Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

  • 1st Corinthians 6
    Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
    Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
    Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
    If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
    I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
    But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
    Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
    Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
    Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
    And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
    All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
    Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
    And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
    Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
    What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
    But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
    Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
    What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
    For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

  • Exodus 36
    Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.
    And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
    And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
    And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
    And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
    And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
    For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
    And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
    The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
    And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
    And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
    Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.
    And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
    And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
    The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
    And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
    And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
    And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
    And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
    And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
    The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
    One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
    And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
    And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
    And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
    And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
    And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
    And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
    And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
    And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
    And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
    And five bars for the boards of the other

  • Exodus 35
    And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
    Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
    Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
    And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
    Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
    And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
    And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
    And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
    And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
    And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
    The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
    The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
    The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
    The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
    And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
    The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
    The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
    The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
    The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
    And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
    And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
    And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
    And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
    Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
    And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
    And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
    And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
    And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
    The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
    And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
    And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

  • 1st Corinthians 4,5
    Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
    Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
    But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
    For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
    Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
    And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
    For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
    Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
    For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
    We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
    Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
    And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
    Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
    I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
    For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
    Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
    For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
    Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
    But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
    For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
    What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
    It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
    And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
    For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
    In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
    To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
    Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
    Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
    Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
    I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
    Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
    But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a forni

    Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
    For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
    O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
    A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
    When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
    But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
    For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
    But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
    Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
    The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
    Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
    They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
    To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
    The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
    Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
    The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
    The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
    Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

  • Exodus 33,34
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
    And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
    Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
    And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
    For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
    And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
    And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
    And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
    And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
    And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
    And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
    Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
    And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
    And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
    For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
    And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
    And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
    And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
    And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
    And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
    And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
    And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
    And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds
