let the earth be moved.

great in Zion; and he is high above all
the people.

them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest
vengeance of their inventions.
Psa 99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his
holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
Psalms 100
Psa 100:1 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto
the LORD, all ye lands.
Psa 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his
presence with singing.
Psa 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it
is he that
hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Psa 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto
him, and bless his name.
Psa 100:5 For the LORD is
good; his mercy is everlasting; and his
truth endureth
to all generations.
Psalms 101
Psa 101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and
judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
Psa 101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect
heart.
Psa 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside; it
shall not cleave to me.
Psa 101:4 A froward heart
shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
Psa 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath
a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
Psa 101:6 Mine eyes shall
be upon the faithful of the land, that
they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect
way, he shall serve me.
Psa 101:7 He that worketh
deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth
lies shall not tarry in my sight.
Psa 101:8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the
land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
Psalms 102
Psa 102:1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is
overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the
LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
Psa 102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine
ear unto me: in the day when I call
answer me speedily.
Psa 102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my
bones are burned as a hearth.
Psa 102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass;
so that I forget to eat my bread.
Psa 102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my
bones cleave to my skin.
Psa 102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am
like an owl of the desert.
Psa 102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the
house top.
Psa 102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn
against me.
Psa 102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and
mingled my drink with weeping,
Psa 102:10 Because of thine
indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
Psa 102:11 My days are
like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like
grass.
Psa 102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt
endure forever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
Psa 102:13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour
her, yea, the set time, is come.
Psa 102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
and favour the dust thereof.
Psa 102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the
LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
Psa 102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall
appear in his glory.
Psa 102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute,
and not despise their prayer.
Psa 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to
come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
Psa 102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of
his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
Psa 102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to
loose those that are appointed to death;
Psa 102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and
his praise in Jerusalem;
Psa 102:22 When the people are gathered together, and
the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
Psa 102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he
shortened my days.
Psa 102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the
midst of my days: thy years are
throughout all generations.
Psa 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the
earth: and the heavens are the work of
thy hands.
Psa 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment;
as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall
be changed:
Psa 102:27 But thou art
the same, and thy years shall have no end.
Psa 102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue,
and their seed shall be established before thee.
Psalms 103
Psa 103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and
all that is within me, bless his holy
name.
Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all
his benefits:
Psa 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all
thy diseases;
Psa 103:4 Who redeemeth thy
life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Psa 103:5 Who satisfieth thy
mouth with good things; so that
thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psa 103:6 The LORD executeth
righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
Psa 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts
unto the children of Israel.
Psa 103:8 The LORD is
merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
Psa 103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he
keep his anger
forever.
Psa 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor
rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Psa 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from
us.
Psa 103:13 Like as a father pitieth
his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear
him.
Psa 103:14 For he knoweth our
frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Psa 103:15 As for man, his days are
as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
Psa 103:16 For the wind passeth
over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Psa 103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that
fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
Psa 103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those
that remember his commandments to do them.
Psa 103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the
heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Psa 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in
strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Psa 103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye
ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Psa 103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of
his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
Psalms 104
Psa 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God,
thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Psa 104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with
a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a
curtain:
Psa 104:3 Who layeth the
beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the
clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the
wind:
Psa 104:4 Who maketh his
angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Psa 104:5 Who
laid the foundations of the earth, that
it should not be removed forever.
Psa 104:6 Thou coveredst it
with the deep as with a garment: the
waters stood above the mountains.
Psa 104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy
thunder they hasted away.
Psa 104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by
the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
Psa 104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass
over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Psa 104:10 He sendeth the
springs into the valleys, which run
among the hills.
Psa 104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field:
the wild asses quench their thirst.
Psa 104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have
their habitation, which sing among the
branches.
Psa 104:13 He watereth the
hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
Psa 104:14 He causeth the
grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may
bring forth food out of the earth;
Psa 104:15 And wine that
maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his
face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
Psa 104:16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap;
the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
Psa 104:17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the
stork, the fir trees are her house.
Psa 104:18 The high hills are
a refuge for the wild goats; and the
rocks for the conies.
Psa 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
Psa 104:20 Thou makest
darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
Psa 104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and
seek their meat from God.
Psa 104:22 The sun ariseth,
they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
Psa 104:23 Man goeth forth
unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
Psa 104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom
hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Psa 104:25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and
great beasts.
Psa 104:26 There go the ships: there is
that leviathan, whom thou hast made to
play therein.
Psa 104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them
their meat in due season.
Psa 104:28 That
thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are
filled with good.
Psa 104:29 Thou hidest thy
face, they are troubled: thou takest away their
breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Psa 104:30 Thou sendest forth
thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the
face of the earth.
Psa 104:31 The glory of the LORD shall endure forever:
the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
Psa 104:32 He looketh on the
earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth
the hills, and they smoke.
Psa 104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live:
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Psa 104:34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will
be glad in the LORD.
Psa 104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth,
and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the
LORD.
Psalms 105
Psa 105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his
name: make known his deeds among the people.
Psa 105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye
of all his wondrous works.
Psa 105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of
them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Psa 105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his
face evermore.
Psa 105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Psa 105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children
of Jacob his chosen.
Psa 105:7 He is
the LORD our God: his judgments are in
all the earth.
Psa 105:8 He hath remembered his covenant forever, the
word which he commanded to a thousand
generations.
Psa 105:9 Which covenant
he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
Psa 105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for
an everlasting covenant:
Psa 105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of
Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
Psa 105:12 When they were but
a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
Psa 105:13 When they went from one nation to another,
from one kingdom to another people;
Psa 105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he
reproved kings for their sakes;
Psa 105:15 Saying,
Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Psa 105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the
land: he broke the whole staff of bread.
Psa 105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who
was sold for a servant:
Psa 105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was
laid in iron:
Psa 105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word
of the LORD tried him.
Psa 105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go
free.
Psa 105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of
all his substance:
Psa 105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and
teach his senators wisdom.
Psa 105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob
sojourned in the land of Ham.
Psa 105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made
them stronger than their enemies.
Psa 105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to
deal subtilly with his servants.
Psa 105:26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
Psa 105:27 They showed his signs among them, and wonders
in the land of Ham.
Psa 105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they
rebelled not against his word.
Psa 105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew
their fish.
Psa 105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,
in the chambers of their kings.
Psa 105:31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of
flies, and lice in all their coasts.
Psa 105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
Psa 105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig
trees; and broke the trees of their coasts.
Psa 105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and
caterpillars, and that without number,
Psa 105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land,
and devoured the fruit of their ground.
Psa 105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their
land, the chief of all their strength.
Psa 105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and
gold: and there was not one feeble person
among their tribes.
Psa 105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the
fear of them fell upon them.
Psa 105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to
give light in the night.
Psa 105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and
satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Psa 105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed
out; they ran in the dry places like a
river.
Psa 105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
Psa 105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
Psa 105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and
they inherited the labour of the people;
Psa 105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and
keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
Hebrews
2
Heb
2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest
heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was
steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense
of reward;
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
unto us by them that heard him;
Heb 2:4 God also bearing them
witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the
Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
Heb 2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in
subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
Heb 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Heb 2:7 Thou madest him a
little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with
glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Heb 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under
his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is
not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower
than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that
he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory,
to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth
and they who are sanctified are all of
one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Heb 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my
brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Heb 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And
again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers
of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that
through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the
devil;
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death
were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of
angels; but he took on him the seed of
Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and
faithful high priest in things pertaining
to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being
tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
