Psalm 68Psalm 692 Corinthians 11.16-33Psalm 68
1
<> Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2
As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3
But let the righteous be glad let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
5
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God in his holy habitation.
6
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].
7
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness Selah:
8
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11
The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of those that published [it].
12
Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13
Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon.
15
The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan an high hill [as] the hill of Bashan.
16
Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
17
The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place].
18
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men yea, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].
19
Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.
20
[He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation and unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.
21
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:
23
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24
They have seen thy goings, O God [even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25
The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels.
26
Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27
There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes of Naphtali.
28
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that] delight in war.
31
Princes shall come out of Egypt Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth O sing praises unto the Lord Selah:
33
To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which were] of old lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
34
Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
35
O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed [be] God.
Psalm 69
1
<> Save me, O God for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.
2
I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.
5
O God, thou knowest my foolishness and my sins are not hid from thee.
6
Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach shame hath covered my face.
8
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10
When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11
I made sackcloth also my garment and I became a proverb to them.
12
They that sit in the gate speak against me and I [was] the song of the drunkards.
13
But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
14
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15
Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16
Hear me, O LORD for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17
And hide not thy face from thy servant for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18
Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.
20
Reproach hath broken my heart and I am full of heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none and for comforters, but I found none.
21
They gave me also gall for my meat and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22
Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.
23
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not and make their loins continually to shake.
24
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25
Let their habitation be desolate [and] let none dwell in their tents.
26
For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29
But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31
[This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32
The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
2 Corinthians 11
16-33
16
I say again, Let no man think me a fool if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17
That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18
Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19
For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise.
20
For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
21
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
22
Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I.
23
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
24
Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.
25
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep
26
[In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren
27
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
29
Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
30
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
31
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
32
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
33
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
