  • 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;
    And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
    And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to

  • Psalms 92,93
    IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
    To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
    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

  • Psalms 90,91
    Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
    Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
    Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
    For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
    Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
    In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
    For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
    Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
    For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
    The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
    Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
    So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
    Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
    O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
    Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
    Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
    And let the beauty 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.
    He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
    I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
    Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
    He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
    Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
    Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
    A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
    Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
    Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
    There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
    For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
    They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
    Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
    Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
    He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
    With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

  • 1st Corinthians 3
    And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
    I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
    For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
    For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
    Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
    I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
    So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
    Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
    For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
    According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
    For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
    Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
    Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
    If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
    If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
    Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
    If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
    Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
    For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
    And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
    Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
    Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
    And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

  • 1st Corinthians 1,2
    Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
    Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:
    Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
    I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
    That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
    Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
    So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
    Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
    Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
    For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
    Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
    Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
    I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
    Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
    And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
    For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
    For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
    For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
    Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
    For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
    For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
    But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
    But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
    Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
    For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
    But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
    And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
    That no flesh should glory in his presence.
    But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
    That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
    And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
    For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
    And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
    And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
    That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
    Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the pr

    I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
    For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
    I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
    Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
    And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
    For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
    God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
    O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
    Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
    Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
    The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
    The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
    Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
    Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
    Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
    In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
    For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
    For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
    Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
    I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
    With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
    The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
    And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
    But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
    I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
    He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
    Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
    My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
    His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
    If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
    If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
    Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
    Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
    My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
    Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
    His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
    It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
    But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
    Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
    Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
    All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
    Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
    Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
    Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
    The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered

  • Exodus 31,32
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
    And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
    To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
    And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
    And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
    The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
    And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
    And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
    And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
    And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
    Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
    Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
    Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
    It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
    And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
    And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
    And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
    And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
    And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
    And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
    And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
    They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

  • Mark 15,16
    And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
    And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
    And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
    And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
    But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
    Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
    And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
    And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
    But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
    For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
    But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
    And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
    And they cried out again, Crucify him.
    Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
    And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
    And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

  • Psalms 87,88
    His foundation is in the holy mountains.
    The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
    Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
    I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
    And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
    The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
    As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
    O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
    Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
    For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
    I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
    Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
    Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
    Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
    Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
    Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
    Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
    Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
    Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
    But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
    LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
    I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
    Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
    They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
    Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
