Psalm 7

¹O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
²Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
³O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
⁵Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
⁶Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
⁷So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
⁸The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
¹⁰My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
¹¹God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
¹²If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
¹⁵He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
¹⁷I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

²¹How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
²²Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
²³Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
²⁴Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
²⁵And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
²⁶And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
²⁸And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

¹⁴Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
¹⁵And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
¹⁶Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
¹⁸And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
¹⁹And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
²¹And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
²²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
²⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
²⁶And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
²⁸And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
