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.

¹²But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
¹³Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
¹⁴The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
¹⁵It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
¹⁶It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
¹⁷The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
¹⁸No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
¹⁹The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
²⁰Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
²¹Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
²²Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
²³God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
²⁴For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
²⁵To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
²⁶When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
²⁷Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
²⁸And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

¹³When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
¹⁴And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
¹⁵He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
¹⁶And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
¹⁷And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
¹⁸And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
¹⁹And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
²⁰Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
²¹From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
²²Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
²³But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
²⁴Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
²⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
²⁶For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
²⁷For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
²⁸Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
