³ Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.

³ And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.

⁹ The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.

¹⁰ Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness, Isles, and their inhabitants.

¹¹ The wilderness and its cities do lift up [the voice], The villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela, From the top of mountains they cry.

61 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.

² To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.

³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah -- to be beautified.'

¹² Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth --

¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ As many, therefore, as [are] perfect -- let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

¹⁶ but to what we have come -- by the same rule walk, the same thing think;

2 And thou -- be speaking what doth become the sound teaching;

² aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;

³ aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,

⁴ that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,

⁵ sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

⁶ The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded;

⁷ concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,

⁸ discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.

² of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome -- gentle, showing all meekness to all men,

³ for we were once -- also we -- thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious -- hating one another;

⁴ and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear

⁵ (not by works that [are] in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
