A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.

30 I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

² Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

³ Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

⁴ Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.

⁵ For a moment [is passed] in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

⁷ Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

⁸ I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:

⁹ What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.

¹¹ Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹² That [my] glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.

³² And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.

³³ And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah.

³⁴ And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.

³⁵ And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.

³⁶ And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. And he called her; and she came to him. And he said, Take up thy son.

³⁷ And she came and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

9 And having called together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases,

² and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece.

⁴ And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence go forth.

⁵ And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.

⁶ And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.
