20 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

² He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

³ He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.

⁴ He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

⁵ We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

⁶ Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

⁷ Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

⁸ They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

⁹ O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

40 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

³ and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,

⁴ and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.

⁵ `And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

⁶ and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

⁷ and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.

⁸ `And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,

⁹ and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;

¹⁰ and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;

¹¹ and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

¹² `And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

¹³ and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

¹⁴ `And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,

¹⁵ and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

²¹ and a high priest over the house of God,

²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

²³ may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful [is] He who did promise),

²⁴ and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,

²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain [is], but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.
