Old/New Testament
A Song of degrees.
129 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth—oh let Israel say—
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The ploughers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.
4 Jehovah is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;
6 Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom;
8 Neither do the passers-by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; we bless you in the name of Jehovah!
A Song of degrees.
130 Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.
2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3 If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;
8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
A Song of degrees. Of David.
131 Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and in things too wonderful for me.
2 Surely I have restrained and composed my soul, like a weaned child with its mother: my soul within me is as a weaned child.
3 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.
11 Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.
3 But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head [is] the man, and the Christ's head God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].
6 For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.
7 For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.
8 For man is not of woman, but woman of man.
9 For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
10 Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
11 However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.
12 For as the woman [is] of the man, so also [is] the man by the woman, but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
15 But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.
16 But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.
