Exodus

1
¶Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD,
and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed
gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation:
he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's
God, and I will exalt him. 3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD
is his name. 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into
the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. 5
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 7 And in the greatness
of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against
thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together,
the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed
in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will
overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon
them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. 10 Thou
didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead
in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the
gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
doing wonders? 12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth
swallowed them. 13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which
thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy
holy habitation. 14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow
shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 15 Then the dukes
of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall
take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine
arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over,
O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. 17
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine
inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee
to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. 19 For the horse of Pharaoh
went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and
the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the
children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 20
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in
her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and
with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for
he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea.
22 ¶So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out
into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness,
and found no water. 23 And when they came to Marah, they could not
drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the
name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people murmured against
Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 25 And he cried unto the LORD;
and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the
waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute
and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 26 And said, If thou
wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt
do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments,
and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon
thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD
that healeth thee. 27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells
of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there
by the waters.

1 ¶ Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. 2 I
sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep
waters, where the floods overflow me. 3 I am weary of my crying:
my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 4 They
that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head:
they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:
then I restored that which I took not away. 5 O God, thou knowest
my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 6 Let not them
that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake:
let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of
Israel. 7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath
covered my face. 8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and
an alien unto my mother's children. 9 For the zeal of thine house
hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee
are fallen upon me. 10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,
that was to my reproach. 11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and
I became a proverb to them. 12 They that sit in the gate speak against
me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13 ¶But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable
time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth
of thy salvation. 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not
sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the
deep waters. 15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let
the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon
me. 16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto
me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 17 And hide
not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of
mine enemies. 19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and
my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee. 20 Reproach
hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for
some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I
found none. 21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst
they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 ¶Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should
have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 23 Let their
eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually
to shake. 24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful
anger take hold of them. 25 Let their habitation be desolate; and
let none dwell in their tents. 26 For they persecute him whom thou
hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast
wounded. 27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come
into thy righteousness. 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of
the living, and not be written with the righteous. 29 But I am poor
and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 ¶I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify
him with thanksgiving. 31 This also shall please the LORD better
than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 32 The humble shall
see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing
that moveth therein. 35 For God will save Zion, and will build the
cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that
love his name shall dwell therein.

1 ¶And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man
there which had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether
he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their
peace. 5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger,
being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the
man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his
hand was restored whole as the other. 6 And the Pharisees went forth,
and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how
they might destroy him. 7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples
to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and
from Judaea, 8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond
Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they
had heard what great things he did, came unto him. 9 And he spake
to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of
the multitude, lest they should throng him. 10 For he had healed
many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many
as had plagues. 11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell
down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12
And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
13 ¶And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he
would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they
should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16 And Simon he surnamed Peter; 17 And James the son of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which
is, The sons of thunder: 18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus,
and Simon the Canaanite, 19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed
him: and they went into an house. 20 And the multitude cometh together
again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21 And when
his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they
said, He is beside himself.
22 ¶And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath
Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables,
How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against
itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be divided
against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan rise up
against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil
his house. 28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven
unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall
blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost
hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: 30
Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
31 ¶There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without,
sent unto him, calling him. 32 And the multitude sat about him,
and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without
seek for thee. 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother,
or my brethren? 34 And he looked round about on them which sat about
him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35 For whosoever
shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister,
and mother.
