Psalm 28

¹Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
²Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
³Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
⁴Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
⁵Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
⁶Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
⁷The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
⁸The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
⁹Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

²⁰And 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.
²¹And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
²²So 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.
²³And 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.
²⁴And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
²⁵And 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,
²⁶And 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.
²⁷And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

3Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
²Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
³For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
⁴For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
⁵And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
⁶But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
⁷Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
⁸Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
⁹When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
¹⁰Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
¹¹So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
¹³But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
¹⁴For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
¹⁵While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
¹⁶For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
¹⁷But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
¹⁸And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
¹⁹So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
