Psalm 70Psalm 71Psalm 72Psalm 732 Corinthians 12Psalm 70
1
<> [Make haste], O God, to deliver me make haste to help me, O LORD.
2
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5
But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer O LORD, make no tarrying.
Psalm 71
1
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3
Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me for thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
4
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5
For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth.
6
By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be] continually of thee.
7
I am as a wonder unto many but thou [art] my strong refuge.
8
Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour all the day.
9
Cast me not off in the time of old age forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10
For mine enemies speak against me and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him for [there is] none to deliver [him].
12
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13
Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day for I know not the numbers [thereof].
16
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
17
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18
Now 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.
19
Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!
20
[Thou], which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
Psalm 72
1
<<[A Psalm] for Solomon.>> Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth.
7
In his days shall the righteous flourish and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.
13
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually [and] daily shall he be praised.
16
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17
His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18
Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19
And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory Amen, and Amen.
20
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Psalm 73
topo2 Corinthians 12
1
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth)
4
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
6
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or [that] he heareth of me.
7
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11
I am become a fool in glorying ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
12
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except [it be] that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
14
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
16
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
18
I desired Titus, and with [him] I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? [walked we] not in the same steps?
19
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but [we do] all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and [that] I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21
[And] lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and [that] I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
