A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.

¹ ¶ His foundation is in mountains of holiness.

² The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³ Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

⁴ ¶ I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to those that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.

⁵ And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man were born in her; and the highest himself shall establish her.

⁶ The LORD shall count when he writes up the peoples that this one was born there. Selah.

⁷ And singers and players on instruments in her shall say: all my springs are in thee.

¹⁸ For I understand their works and their thoughts. The time shall come to gather all the Gentiles and tongues; and they shall come and see my glory.

¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the Gentiles, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have never heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

²⁰ And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD from among all the Gentiles, upon horses and in chariots and in litters and upon mules and upon camels to my holy mountain of Jerusalem, saith the LORD, so that the sons of Israel bring the offering in clean vessels to the house of the LORD.

²¹ And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.

²² For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

²³ And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one sabbath to another all flesh shall come to worship before me, said the LORD.

8 ¶ When he was come down from the mountain, many people followed him.

² And, behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou art willing, thou art able to cleanse me.

³ And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴ Then Jesus said unto him, See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁵ ¶ And when Jesus was entering into Capernaum, a centurion came unto him, beseeching him,

⁶ and saying, Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed, grievously tormented.

⁷ And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.

⁸ The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof; but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.

¹⁰ When Jesus heard it, he marvelled and said to those that followed, Verily I say unto you that not even in Israel have I found such faith.

¹¹ But I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down at the table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

¹² But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³ Then Jesus said unto the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in that same hour.
