17
 This I [Paul] say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18
 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19
 who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20
 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21
 if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22
 that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23
 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24
 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25
 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26
 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27
 neither give place to the devil.
28
 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with
his
hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29
 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30
 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31
 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32
 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim,
A Psalm
of David.
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 G
OD
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 L
ORD
,
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 L
ORD
; 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.
5
 A wise man
is
strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6
 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors
there is
safety.
1
 Hearken to me [the L
ORD
], ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the L
ORD
: look unto the rock
whence
ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit
whence
ye are digged.
2
 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah
that
bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3
 For the L
ORD
shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the L
ORD
; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4
 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
5
 My righteousness
is
near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6
 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7
 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart
is
my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8
 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9
 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the L
ORD
; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old.
Art
thou not it that hath cut Rahab,
and
wounded the dragon?
10
Â
Art
thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
11
 Therefore the redeemed of the L
ORD
shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy
shall be
upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy;
and
sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12
 I,
even
I,
am
he that comforteth you: who
art
thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man
that
shall die, and of the son of man
which
shall be made
as
grass;
13
 And forgettest the L
ORD
thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where
is
the fury of the oppressor?
14
 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
15
 But I
am
the L
ORD
thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The L
ORD
of hosts
is
his name.
16
 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou
art
my people.
17
 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the L
ORD
the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling,
and
wrung
them
out.
18
Â
There is
none to guide her among all the sons
whom
she hath brought forth; neither
is there any
that taketh her by the hand of all the sons
that
she hath brought up.
19
 These two
things
are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
20
 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the L
ORD
, the rebuke of thy God.
21
 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22
 Thus saith thy Lord the L
ORD
, and thy God
that
pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling,
even
the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
23
 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
52:
1
 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2
 Shake thyself from the dust; arise,
and
sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3
 For thus saith the L
ORD
, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4
 For thus saith the Lord G
OD
, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5
 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the L
ORD
, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the L
ORD
; and my name continually every day
is
blasphemed.
6
 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore
they shall know
in that day that I
am
he that doth speak: behold,
it is
I.
7
 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
8
 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the L
ORD
shall bring again Zion.
9
 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the L
ORD
hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10
 The L
ORD
hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11
 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean
thing;
go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the L
ORD
.
12
 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the L
ORD
will go before you; and the God of Israel
will be
your rereward.
13
 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14
 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15
 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for
that
which had not been told them shall they see; and
that
which they had not heard shall they consider.
53:
1
 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the L
ORD
revealed?
2
 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him,
there is
no beauty that we should desire him.
3
 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were
our
faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4
 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5
 But he
was
wounded for our transgressions,
he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
was
upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6
 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the L
ORD
hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7
 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8
 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9
 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither
was any
deceit in his mouth.
10
 Yet it pleased the L
ORD
to bruise him; he hath put
him
to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see
his
seed, he shall prolong
his
days, and the pleasure of the L
ORD
shall prosper in his hand.
11
 He shall see of the travail of his soul,
and
shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12
 Therefore will I divide him
a portion
with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
