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.

7And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
²That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
³And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.
⁴And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
⁵Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
⁶Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
⁷In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
⁸Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
⁹And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
¹⁰Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
¹¹And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
¹⁶And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
¹⁷According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
²⁷And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
²⁸But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
²⁹For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
³¹For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
³²And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
³³And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
³⁴Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
³⁵And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
³⁶And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
³⁷And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
³⁸And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
