Psalms
141
Psa 141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make
haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
Psa 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and
the lifting up of my hands as the
evening sacrifice.
Psa 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep
the door of my lips.
Psa 141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men
that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Psa 141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which
shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall
be in their calamities.
Psa 141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony
places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Psa 141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth,
as when one cutteth and cleaveth
wood upon the earth.
Psa 141:8 But mine eyes are
unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Psa 141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the
workers of iniquity.
Psa 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
whilst that I withal escape.
Psalms 142
Psa 142:1 Maschil of David; A
Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my
voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
Psa 142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I
showed before him my trouble.
Psa 142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I
walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
Psa 142:4 I looked on my
right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me;
no man cared for my soul.
Psa 142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and
my portion in the land of the living.
Psa 142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very
low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
Psa 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may
praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
Psalms 143
Psa 143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD,
give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
Psa 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant:
for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Psa 143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he
hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness,
as those that have been long dead.
Psa 143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
my heart within me is desolate.
Psa 143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all
thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Psa 143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after
thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
Psa 143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto
them that go down into the pit.
Psa 143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness
in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I
should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Psa 143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee
unto thee to hide me.
Psa 143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Psa 143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for
thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Psa 143:12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and
destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am
thy servant.
Psalms 144
Psa 144:1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and
my fingers to fight:
Psa 144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower,
and my deliverer; my shield, and he in
whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
Psa 144:3 LORD, what is
man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest
account of him!

away.

the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Psa 144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot
out thine arrows, and destroy them.
Psa 144:7 Send thine hand
from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of
strange children;
Psa 144:8 Whose mouth speaketh
vanity, and their right hand is a right
hand of falsehood.
Psa 144:9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon
a psaltery and an instrument of ten
strings will I sing praises unto thee.
Psa 144:10 It is he that
giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth
David his servant from the hurtful sword.
Psa 144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of
strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and
their right hand is a right hand of
falsehood:
Psa 144:12 That our sons may
be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may
be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
Psa 144:13 That
our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten
thousands in our streets:
Psa 144:14 That
our oxen may be
strong to labour; that there be
no breaking in, nor going out ; that there
be no complaining in our streets.
Psa 144:15 Happy is
that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is
that people, whose God is the LORD.

desire of every living thing.

Hebrews
8
Heb
8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is
the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne
of the Majesty in the heavens;
Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Heb 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer
gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also
to offer.
Heb 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a
priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of
heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the
tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the
pattern showed to thee in the mount.
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant
had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the
house of Judah:
Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of
the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded
them not, saith the Lord.
Heb 8:10 For this is
the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and
write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to
me a people:
Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know
me, from the least to the greatest.
Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A
new covenant, he hath made the first
old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth
old is ready to vanish away.
