Psalm 92

¹IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE Lord, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
²To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
³Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
⁴For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
⁵O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
⁶A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
⁸But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
⁹For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
¹⁰But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
¹⁵To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹⁶Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
¹⁷And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
¹⁸And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
¹⁹And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
²⁰And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
²¹And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.
²²And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
²³Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
²⁴And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
²⁵And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
²⁶Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
²⁷Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
²⁸And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.

13This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
²I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
³Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
⁴For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
⁵Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
⁶But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
⁷Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
⁸For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
⁹For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
¹⁰Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
¹¹Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
¹²Greet one another with an holy kiss.
¹³All the saints salute you.
¹⁴The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
