² It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.

⁹ But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

¹⁰ For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

¹¹ But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

¹² My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

¹³ The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

¹⁴ They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

¹⁵ They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

¹⁶ That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

3 All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.

² A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.

³ A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.

⁴ A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

⁵ A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

⁶ A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.

⁷ A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

⁸ A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

²⁹ The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.

³³ (Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)

³⁴ The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that Christ abideth for ever; and how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.

³⁶ Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid himself from them.
