12 But You, O LORD, remain forever, and Your remembrance from generation to generation.
13 You will arise and have mercy upon Zion. For the time to have mercy thereon, for the appointed time, has come.
14 For Your servants, delight in the stones thereof and have pity on the dust thereof.
15 Then the heathen shall fear the Name of the LORD, and all the kings of the Earth Your Glory,
16 when the LORD shall build up Zion and shall appear in His Glory
17 and shall turn to the prayer of the desolate and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and the people who shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 For He has looked down from the height of His Sanctuary. Out of the heaven did the LORD behold the Earth,
20 so that He might hear the mourning of the prisoner and deliver the children of death;
21 so that they may declare the Name of the LORD in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem
22 when the people shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 He weakened my strength on the way and shortened my days.
24 I said, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days. Your years endure from generation to generation.
25 “Before time, You have laid the foundation of the Earth; and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 “They shall perish, but You shall endure. Indeed, they shall all wear out like a garment. You shall change them like clothing, and they shall be changed.
27 But You are the same; and Your years shall not fail.
28 The children of Your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established in Your sight. A Psalm of David
8 Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Up and go, you and your House, and sojourn where you can sojourn. For the LORD has called for a famine. And it shall come upon the land for seven years.”
2 And the woman arose and did according to the saying of the man of God and went, both she and her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 And at the end of seven years, the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines and went out to call upon the king for her House and for her land.
4 And the king talked with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great acts that Elisha has done.”
5 And as he told the king how he had restored one dead to life, behold, the woman whose son he had raised to life called upon the king for her House and for her land. Then Gehazi said, “My lord, O king! This is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed a eunuch for her, saying, “Restore all that are hers, and all the fruits of her land, since the day she left the land until this time.”
36 But after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit our brothers in every city where we have preached the Word of the Lord and see how they are doing.”
37 And Barnabas planned to take John (called Mark) with them.
38 But Paul did not think it good to take with them one who had left them in Pamphylia, and not gone with them to do the work.
39 Therefore there was such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another. And Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
40 And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, establishing the churches.
