BETH
9 Wherewith shall a [a]young man redress his way? in taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 I have [b]hid thy promise in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have had as great [c]delight in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and consider thy ways.
16 I will delight in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy word.
20 2 The Commandments of the first Table. 13 The Commandments of the second. 18 The people afraid are comforted by Moses. 23 Gods of silver and gold are again forbidden. 24 Of what sort the altar ought to be.
1 Then God [a]spake all these words, saying,
2 (A)I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [b]bondage.
3 Thou shalt have none other gods [c]before me.
4 (B)Thou shalt make thee no graven image, neither any similitude of things that are in heaven above, neither that are in the earth beneath, nor that are in the waters under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not [d]bow down to them, neither serve them: for I am the Lord thy God, a [e]jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third generation and upon the fourth of them that hate me:
6 And showing mercy unto [f]thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 (C)Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in [g]vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain.
8 Remember the Sabbath day, [h]to keep it holy.
9 (D)Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work,
10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy [i]gates.
11 (E)For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
12 ¶ (F)Honor thy [j]father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged upon the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 ¶ (G)Thou shalt not [k]kill.
14 Thou shalt not [l]commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not [m]steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false [n]witness against thy neighbor.
17 (H)Thou shalt not [o]covet thy neighbor’s house, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, neither anything that is thy neighbor’s.
18 ¶ And all the people [p]saw the thunders: and the [q]lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, and when the people saw it, they fled and stood afar off,
19 And said unto Moses, (I)Talk thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God talk with us, lest we die.
20 Then Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to [r]prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.
21 So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near unto the darkness where God was.
2 [a]My brethren, [b]count it exceeding joy, [c]when ye fall into divers tentations,
3 (A)[d]Knowing that the [e]trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
4 [f]And let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.
5 [g]If any of you lack [h]wisdom, let him ask of God, which giveth to all men liberally, and reproacheth no man, and it shall be given him.
6 (B)But let him ask in faith, and [i]waver not: [j]for he that wavereth, is like a wave of the sea, tossed of the wind, and carried away.
7 Neither let that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in [k]all his ways.
