Psalm 115

¹Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
²Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
³But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
⁵They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
⁶They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
⁷They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
⁸They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
⁹O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
¹¹Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
¹²The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
¹³He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
¹⁴The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
¹⁵Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
¹⁶The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
¹⁷The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
¹⁸But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.

35The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
²It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.
³Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
⁴Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
⁵Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
⁶Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
⁷And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
⁸And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
⁹No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
¹⁰And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

⁹And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
¹⁰And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
¹¹Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
¹²And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
¹³On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
¹⁴And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
¹⁵And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
¹⁶And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
¹⁷And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
¹⁸And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
¹⁹And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
²⁰The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
²¹And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
²²And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
²³And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
²⁴And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
²⁵And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
²⁶And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
²⁷And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
