Psalm 141

¹Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
²Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
³Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
⁴Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
⁵Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
⁶When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
⁷Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
⁸But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
⁹Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
¹⁰Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

3Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
²And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
³But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
⁴And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
⁵For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
⁶And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
⁷And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
⁸And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
⁹And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
¹⁰And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
¹¹And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
¹²And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
¹³And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
¹⁴And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
¹⁵And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
¹⁶Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
¹⁷And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
¹⁸Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
¹⁹In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
²⁰And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
²¹Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
²²And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
²³Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
²⁴So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

⁴⁵And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
⁴⁶And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
⁴⁷And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
⁴⁸And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
⁴⁹But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
⁵⁰For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
⁵¹And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
⁵²For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
⁵³And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
⁵⁴And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
⁵⁵And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
⁵⁶And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
