To the Overcomer, A Song or Psalm.

¹ ¶ Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;

² sing forth the glory of his name; put glory into thy praise.

³ Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

⁴ All the earth shall worship thee and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

⁵ Come and see the works of God; he is terrible in his doing toward the sons of men.

⁶ He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there did we rejoice in him.

⁷ He rules by his power for ever; his eyes watch the Gentiles; the rebellious shall not exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸ ¶ O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

⁹ It is he who placed our soul into life and did not suffer our feet to slip.

¹⁰ All the land shall become a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate unto the gate of the corners, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.

¹¹ And men shall dwell in it, and it shall never be anathema again; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

¹² And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will smite all the peoples that fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day that a great destruction from the LORD shall be in them, for they shall lay hold each one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

¹⁴ And Judah also shall fight against Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the Gentiles round about shall be gathered together: gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.

¹⁵ And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that were in the armies.

¹⁶ ¶ And every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of the hosts, and to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.

¹⁷ And it shall be that whoever will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of the hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

¹⁸ And if the family of Egypt does not go up and does not come, there shall be no rain upon them; instead there shall be the plague, with which the LORD will smite the Gentiles that do not come up to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.

¹⁹ This shall be the punishment of the sin of Egypt and of the sin of all the Gentiles that do not come up to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.

²⁰ In that day there shall be written upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

²¹ And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of the hosts; and all those that sacrifice shall come and take of them and cook therein; and in that time there shall be no more merchandizing in the house of the LORD of the hosts.

9 ¶ Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases.

² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

³ And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey: neither staves nor provision bag, neither bread, neither money, neither have two coats apiece.

⁴ And whatever house ye enter into, abide there and depart from there.

⁵ And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

⁶ And they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing every where.
