Psalm 75

75 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.

In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

10 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

11 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

12 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

13 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.

Job 41:1-11

41 I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel: for who can resist my countenance?

Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.

I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.

Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?

Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.

One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them:

They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.

His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.

10 Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.

11 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.

Hebrews 6:13-20

13 For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself,

14 Saying: Unless blessing I shall bless thee, and multiplying I shall multiply thee.

15 And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise.

16 For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy.

17 Wherein God, meaning more abundantly to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed an oath:

18 That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us.

19 Which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and which entereth in even within the veil;

20 Where the forerunner Jesus is entered for us, made a high priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
