Psalm 90

¹Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
²Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
³Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
⁴For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
⁵Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
⁶In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
⁷For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
⁸Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
⁹For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
¹⁰The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
¹¹Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
¹³Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
¹⁴O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
¹⁵Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
¹⁶Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
¹⁷And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

44And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
²And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
³As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
⁴And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
⁵Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
⁶And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
⁷And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
⁸Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
⁹With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
¹⁰And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
¹¹Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
¹²And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
¹³Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
¹⁴And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
¹⁵And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
¹⁶And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
¹⁷And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
¹⁸Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
¹⁹My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
²⁰And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
²¹And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
²²And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
²³And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
²⁴And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
²⁵And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
²⁶And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
²⁷And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
²⁸And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
²⁹And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
³⁰Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
³¹It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
³²For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
³³Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
³⁴For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.

¹²For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
¹³For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
¹⁴For the body is not one member, but many.
¹⁵If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
¹⁶And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
¹⁷If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
¹⁸But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
¹⁹And if they were all one member, where were the body?
²⁰But now are they many members, yet but one body.
²¹And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
²²Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
²³And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
²⁴For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
²⁵That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
²⁶And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
²⁷Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
²⁸And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
²⁹Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
³⁰Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
³¹But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
