To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
1
 Give ear to my words, O L
ORD
, consider my meditation.
2
 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3
 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O L
ORD
; in the morning will I direct
my prayer
unto thee, and will look up.
4
 For thou
art
not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5
 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6
 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the L
ORD
will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7
 But as for me, I will come
into
thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:
and
in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8
 Lead me, O L
ORD
, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9
 For
there is
no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
is
very wickedness; their throat
is
an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10
 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11
 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12
 For thou, L
ORD
, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as
with
a shield.
24
 Because I [Wisdom] have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25
 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26
 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27
 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28
 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
5
 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6
 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7
 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8
 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we
be
brethren.
9
Â
Is
not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if
thou wilt take
the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if
thou depart
to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10
 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it
was
well watered every where, before the L
ORD
destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,
even
as the garden of the L
ORD
, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11
 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12
 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched
his
tent toward Sodom.
13
 But the men of Sodom
were
wicked and sinners before the L
ORD
exceedingly.
14
 And the L
ORD
said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15
 for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16
 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth,
then
shall thy seed also be numbered.
17
 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18
 Then Abram removed
his
tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which
is
in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the L
ORD
.
14:
1
 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
2
Â
that these
made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
3
 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea.
4
 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5
 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that
were
with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6
 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which
is
by the wilderness.
7
 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which
is
Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.
8
 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same
is
Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
9
 with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
10
 And the vale of Siddim
was full of
slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11
 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12
 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13
 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these
were
confederate with Abram.
14
 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained
servants,
born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued
them
unto Dan.
15
 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which
is
on the left hand of Damascus.
16
 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17
 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that
were
with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which
is
the king's dale.
18
 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he
was
the priest of the most high God.
19
 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed
be
Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20
 and blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
21
 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22
 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the L
ORD
, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23
 that I will not
take
from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that
is
thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24
 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
15:
1
 After these things the word of the L
ORD
came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I
am
thy shield,
and
thy exceeding great reward.
2
 And Abram said, Lord G
OD
, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house
is
this Eliezer of Damascus?
3
 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4
 And, behold, the word of the L
ORD
came
unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5
 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6
 And he believed in the L
ORD
; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7
 And he said unto him, I
am
the L
ORD
that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8
 And he said, Lord G
OD
, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9
 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10
 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11
 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12
 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13
 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land
that is
not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14
 and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15
 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16
 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites
is
not yet full.
17
 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
18
 In the same day the L
ORD
made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19
 the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20
 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21
 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
27
Â
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28
Â
but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29
Â
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
it
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
that
thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30
Â
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast
it
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
that
thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31
Â
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32
Â
but I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33
Â
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34
Â
but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35
Â
nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36
Â
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37
Â
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38
Â
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39
Â
but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40
Â
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have
thy
cloak also.
41
Â
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42
Â
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43
Â
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44
Â
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45
Â
that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46
Â
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47
Â
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
than others?
do not even the publicans so?
48
Â
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
