6 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel: thirty thousand.
2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up the Ark of God from there, whose name comes from the Name of the LORD of Hosts, Who dwells upon it between the Cherubim.
3 And they put the Ark of God upon a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 And when they brought the Ark of God out of the house of Abinadab that was at Gibeah, Ahio went before the Ark.
5 And David and all the House of Israel played before the LORD on all instruments made of fir, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put his hand on the Ark of God and held it. For the oxen shook it.
7 And the LORD was very angry with Uzzah. And God struck him in that same place for his fault. And there he died, by the Ark of God.
8 And David was displeased because the LORD had stricken Uzzah. And he called the name of the place “Perez Uzzah” until this day.
9 Therefore, David feared the LORD that day, and said, “How shall the Ark of the LORD come to me?”
10 So David would not bring the Ark of the LORD to him into the City of David. But David carried it into the house of Obed-Edom, a Gittite.
11 And the Ark of the LORD stayed in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months. And the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.
12 And someone told King David, saying, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that he has, because of the Ark of God.” Therefore, David went and brought the Ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with gladness.
13 And when those who bore the Ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he offered an ox and a fat beast.
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might and was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the House of Israel brought the Ark of the LORD with shouting and sound of trumpet.
16 And as the Ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leap and dance before the LORD. And she despised him in her heart.
17 And when they had brought in the Ark of the LORD, they set it in its place, in the midst of the Tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered Burnt Offerings, and Peace Offerings before the LORD.
18 And as soon as David had finished offering Burnt Offerings and Peace Offerings, he blessed the people in the Name of the LORD of Hosts,
19 and gave among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, to the women as well as the men, to everyone, a cake of bread and a piece of flesh and a bottle. So, all the people departed, each one to his house.
20 Then David returned to bless his house. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet David, and said, “O how glorious was the king of Israel this day, who was uncovered today in the eyes of the maidens of his servants, as a fool uncovers himself!”
21 Then David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, Who chose me rather than your father and all his house, and Commanded me to be ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. And therefore, I will play before the LORD,
22 and will be even more vile than this and will be humble in my own sight. But by the very same maidservants which you have spoken of, I shall be had in honor.”
23 Therefore Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no child until the day of her death.
16 Concerning the gathering of the Saints: as I have ordained in the Churches of Galatia, so you do also.
2 Every first of the week, let every one of you lay up for himself as God has prospered him, so that then there will be no gatherings when I come.
3 And when I come, whomever you shall approve by letters, they will I send to carry your kindness to Jerusalem.
4 And if it be suitable that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 Now I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia (for I will pass through Macedonia.)
6 And it may be that I will stay (yea, or winter) with you, that you may send me on my way, wherever I go.
7 For I will not see you now in my passage. But I am expecting to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
8 And I will wait at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great and effective door has opened to me. And there are many adversaries.
10 Now, if Timothy comes, see that he is without fear with you. For he works the work of the Lord, even as I do.
11 Therefore, let no one despise him. But send him forth in peace, that he may come to me. For I looked for him with the brothers.
12 Concerning our brother, Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers. But his mind was not at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13 Watch. Stand fast in the faith. Act like men, being strong.
14 Let all your things be done in love.
15 Now, brothers, I encourage you (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have given themselves to minister to the Saints.)
16 That you also be subject to such, and to all that help with us and labor.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus. For they have supplied what you lacked.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore, recognize such as these.
19 The Churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the Church that is in their house, salute you greatly in the Lord.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Marana—tha!
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus, Amen.
(The first Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, and sent by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy.)
14 Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
2 And the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
3 “Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be required to consult them?
4 “Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Every man of the House of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face and comes to the Prophet! I, the LORD, will answer who comes, according to the multitude of his idols,
5 so that I may take the House of Israel by their own heart, because they have all departed from Me through their idols.”’
6 “Therefore say to the House of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Return, and withdraw yourselves; and turn your faces from your idols; and turn your faces from all your abominations.
7 “For every one of the House of Israel, or the stranger who sojourns in Israel, who departs from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face and comes to a Prophet to inquire of him about Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.
8 “And I will set My Face against that man and will make him an example and a proverb. And I will cut him off from the midst of My people. And you shall know that I am the LORD.
9 “And if the Prophet is persuaded to speak a thing, I the LORD have persuaded that Prophet. And I will stretch out My Hand upon him and will destroy him from the midst of My people of Israel.
10 “And they shall bear their punishment. The punishment of the Prophet shall be the same as the punishment of him who inquires,
11 “so that the House of Israel may no longer go astray from Me or be polluted anymore with all their transgressions, and that they may be my people and I may be their God,” says the Lord GOD.’”
12 The Word of the Lord GOD came to me again, saying:
13 “Son of man, when the land sins against Me by committing a trespass, then I will stretch out My Hand upon it and will break the staff of its bread and will send famine upon it. And I will cut off man and beast from it.
14 “Even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were among them, they could only deliver their own souls by their righteousness,” says the Lord GOD.
15 “If I bring evil beasts into the land and they plunder it, so that it is desolate, so that no one may pass through because of beasts,
16 “even if these three men were in its midst, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they shall save neither sons nor daughters. They alone shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17 “Or if I bring a sword upon this land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off man and beast from it,
18 “though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but only they themselves shall be delivered.
19 Or if I send a pestilence into this land, and pour out My wrath upon it in blood, to cut off man and beast from it,
20 with Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst of it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: they shall only deliver their own souls by their righteousness.”
21 For thus says the Lord GOD: “How much more when I send My four severe judgments upon Jerusalem—the sword, and famine, and the evil beast, and pestilence—to cut off man and beast from it?
22 “Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant of those who shall be carried away, sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to you, and you shall see their ways and their enterprises. And you shall be comforted concerning the misery that I have brought upon Jerusalem, concerning all that I have brought upon it.
23 “And they shall comfort you when you see their ways and their enterprises. And you shall know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause,” says the Lord GOD.
55 Hear my prayer, O God, and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
2 Hear me and answer me. I mourn in my prayer and make a noise
3 for the voice of the enemy, for the troubling of the wicked; because they have brought iniquity upon me and furiously hate me.
4 My heart trembles within me; and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fear and trembling have come upon me; and a horrible fear has covered me.
6 And I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away and rest!
7 “Behold, I would wander far off and lodge in the wilderness. Selah.
8 “He would hurry for my deliverance from the stormy wind and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O LORD, and divide their tongues; for I have seen cruelty and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof. Both iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof. Deceit and guile do not depart from her streets.
12 Surely my enemy did not defame me (for I could have borne it); nor did my adversary exalt himself against me (for I would have hidden myself from him).
13 But it was you, O man, even my companion, my guide, and my intimate.
14 We delighted in consulting together; and went into the House of God as companions.
15 Let death seize them. Let them go down quick into the grave; for wickedness is in their dwellings, even in the midst of them.
16 I will call to God and the LORD will save me.
17 Evening and morning, and at noon, I will pray and make a noise; and He will hear my voice.
18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle against me, for many were with me.
19 God shall hear and afflict them, even He Who reigns of old. Selah. Because they do not change, therefore they do not fear God.
20 He laid his hand upon such who are at peace with Him. He broke His Covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were softer than butter; yet war was in his heart. His words were more gentle than oil; yet they were swords.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He shall nourish you. He will not allow the righteous to fall forever.
23 And You, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of corruption. The bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days. But I will trust in You. To him who excels: A Psalm of David on Michtam, concerning the dumb dove in a far country, when the Philistines took him in Gath
