To the Overcomer upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph.
1 ¶ Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Take the song and play the timbrel, the harp of joy with the psaltery.
3 Blow the shofar in the new moon in the time appointed on our solemn feast day.
4 For this is a statute of Israel and an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt where I heard a language that I did not understand.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were delivered from working with clay.
7 Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 ¶ Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me,
9 no strange god shall be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
23 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, The feasts of the LORD, unto which ye shall make a general convocation of all the people, these shall be my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein; it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 ¶ These are the feasts of the LORD, the holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed times.
5 On the fourteenth of the first month between the two evenings is the LORD’s passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD; seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 The first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work therein.
8 And ye shall offer an offering on fire unto the LORD seven days; the seventh day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work therein.
31 ¶ What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us?
32 He that did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also give us all things with him?
33 Who shall accuse the chosen of God’s? God is he that justifies them.
34 Who is he that condemns them? Christ, Jesus, is he who died and, even more, he that also rose again, who furthermore is at the right hand of God, who also makes entreaty for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the charity of Christ? shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
36 (As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
37 Nevertheless, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 Therefore I am certain that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come
39 nor height nor depth nor any creature shall be able to separate us from the charity of God, which is in Christ, Jesus our Lord.
