To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.

¹ ¶ Let the LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; let the name of the God of Jacob lift thee up

² and send thee help from the sanctuary and strengthen thee out of Zion

³ and remember all thy offerings and reduce thy burnt sacrifice to the ashes of burnt fat, Selah.

⁴ Grant thee according to thine heart and fulfil all thy counsel.

⁵ We will rejoice in thy saving health, and in the name of our God we will be standard-bearers: let the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

⁶ ¶ Now know I that the LORD has kept his anointed; he will hear him from the heavens of his holiness with the saving valour of his right hand.

⁷ Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

⁸ They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright.

⁹ The LORD saves the king; let him hear us on the day when we call.

40 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² In the day of the first month, the first of the month shalt thou set up the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony.

³ And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony and 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 lampstand and light its lamps.

⁵ And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

⁶ Then thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁷ And thou shalt set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar and shalt put water therein.

⁸ Last, thou shalt set up the court round about and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

⁹ And thou shalt take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and shalt sanctify it with all its vessels, and it shall be holy.

¹⁰ And thou shalt also anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its vessels and sanctify the altar, and it shall be an altar most holy.

¹¹ In the same manner thou shalt anoint the laver and its base and sanctify it.

¹² And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and wash them with water.

¹³ And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments and anoint him and sanctify him, that he may be my priest.

¹⁴ And thou shalt bring his sons and clothe them with coats.

¹⁵ And thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall be my priests; and it shall be that their anointing shall be unto them for a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.

¹⁹ ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ by a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹ and having that great priest over the house of God,

²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts purified from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water;

²³ let us hold fast the profession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that promised).

²⁴ And let us consider one another to provoke unto charity and unto good works,

²⁵ not forsaking our gathering together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another and so much the more, when ye see that day approaching.
