And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.

And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.

The man, the lord of the land, spake roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Jehovah.

And he said, If now I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel.

And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into the Jordan.

And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

By thy messengers thou hast defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field.

And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.

The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming.

But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God.

Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah

God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.

Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel.

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; Selah

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.

Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more?

The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; He hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: The Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.

The Lord is become as an enemy, he hath swallowed up Israel; He hath swallowed up all her palaces, he hath destroyed his strongholds; And he hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary; He hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: They have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.

And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her!
