To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

20 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

² May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

³ Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; Selah.

⁴ Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

⁵ We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

⁶ Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

⁷ Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

⁸ They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

⁹ Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.

40 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

² On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

³ And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.

⁴ And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.

⁵ And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.

⁶ And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

⁷ And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.

⁸ And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.

⁹ And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy.

¹⁰ And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.

¹¹ And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.

¹² And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.

¹³ And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.

¹⁴ And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.

¹⁵ And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,

²¹ and [having] a great priest over the house of God,

²² let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water.

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)

²⁴ and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works;

²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom [is] with some; but encouraging [one another], and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near.
