An Interlude

After this I saw (A)four angels standing at the (B)four corners of the earth, holding back (C)the four winds of the earth (D)so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending (E)from the rising of the sun, holding the (F)seal of (G)the living God; and he called out with a loud voice to the (H)four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “(I)Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees until we have (J)sealed the bond-servants of our God on their (K)foreheads.”

The 144,000

And I heard the (L)number of those who were sealed: (M)144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.

A Multitude from the Tribulation

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from (N)every nation and all the tribes, peoples, and languages, standing (O)before the throne and (P)before the Lamb, clothed in (Q)white robes, and (R)palm branches were in their hands; 10 and they *cried out with a loud voice, saying,

(S)Salvation belongs to our God (T)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

11 And all the angels were standing (U)around the throne and around (V)the elders and the (W)four living creatures; and they (X)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying,

(Y)Amen, (Z)blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might belong to our God forever and ever. (AA)Amen.”

13 Then one of the elders (AB)responded, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the (AC)white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?” 14 I [a]said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the (AD)great tribulation, and they have (AE)washed their robes and made them (AF)white in the (AG)blood of the Lamb. 15 For this reason they are (AH)before the throne of God, and they (AI)serve Him day and night in His [b](AJ)temple; and (AK)He who sits on the throne will spread His (AL)tabernacle over them. 16 (AM)They will no longer hunger nor thirst, nor will the sun [c]beat down on them, nor any scorching heat; 17 for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their (AN)shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the [d](AO)water of life; and (AP)God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

The Seventh Seal: Trumpets

When the Lamb broke the (AQ)seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw (AR)the seven angels who stand before God, and seven (AS)trumpets were given to them.

(AT)Another angel came and stood at the (AU)altar, holding a (AV)golden censer; and much (AW)incense was given to him, so that he might [e]add it to the (AX)prayers of all the [f]saints on the (AY)golden altar which was before the throne. And (AZ)the smoke of the incense ascended from the angel’s hand with the prayers of the [g]saints before God. Then the angel [h]took the [i]censer and (BA)filled it with the fire of the altar, and (BB)hurled it to the earth; and there were (BC)peals of thunder and sounds, and flashes of lightning and an (BD)earthquake.

(BE)And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

The first sounded, and there was (BF)hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and (BG)a third of the earth was burned up, and (BH)a third of the (BI)trees were burned up, and all the green (BJ)grass was burned up.

The second angel sounded, and something like a great (BK)mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea; and (BL)a third of the (BM)sea became blood, and (BN)a third of the creatures which were in the sea [j]and had life, died; and a third of the (BO)ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel sounded, and a great star (BP)fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a (BQ)third of the rivers and on the (BR)springs of waters. 11 The star is named Wormwood; and a (BS)third of the waters became (BT)wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.

12 The fourth angel sounded, and a (BU)third of the (BV)sun, a third of the (BW)moon, and a (BX)third of the (BY)stars were struck, so that a (BZ)third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a (CA)third of it, and the night in the same way.

13 Then I looked, and I heard [k]an eagle flying in (CB)midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “(CC)Woe, woe, woe to (CD)those who live on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the (CE)three angels who are about to sound!”

49 Remember the word to Your servant,
[a]In which You have made me hope.
50 This is my (A)comfort in my misery,
That Your word has [b]revived me.
51 The arrogant (B)utterly deride me,
Yet I do not (C)turn aside from Your Law.
52 I have (D)remembered Your judgments from [c]of old, Lord,
And comfort myself.
53 Burning (E)indignation has seized me because of the wicked,
Who (F)abandon Your Law.
54 Your statutes are my songs
In the house of my (G)pilgrimage.
55 Lord, I (H)remember Your name (I)in the night,
And keep Your Law.
56 This has become mine,
[d]That I (J)comply with Your precepts.

Heth

57 The Lord is my (K)portion;
I have [e]promised to (L)keep Your words.
58 I (M)sought Your favor (N)with all my heart;
(O)Be gracious to me (P)according to Your [f]word.
59 I (Q)considered my ways
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
60 I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
61 The (R)snares of the wicked have surrounded me,
But I have (S)not forgotten Your Law.
62 At (T)midnight I will rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your (U)righteous judgments.
63 I am a (V)companion to all those who [g]fear You,
And to those who keep Your precepts.
64 (W)The earth is full of Your goodness, Lord;
(X)Teach me Your statutes.
