Psalm 42Psalm 43Psalm 442 Corinthians 3.7->2 Corinthians 4.1-48Psalm 42
1
<> As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?
4
When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance.
6
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8
[Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer unto the God of my life.
9
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10
[As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?
11
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Psalm 43
1
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2
For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3
O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4
Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Psalm 44
1
<> We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2
[How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3
For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4
Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6
For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7
But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8
In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9
But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame and goest not forth with our armies.
10
Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11
Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12
Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase [thy wealth] by their price.
13
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14
Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15
My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17
All this is come upon us yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way
19
Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god
21
Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.
24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26
Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
2 Corinthians 3
7->
7
But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance which [glory] was to be done away:
8
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9
For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11
For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious.
12
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13
And not as Moses, [which] put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament which [vail] is done away in Christ.
15
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 4
1-48
1
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not
2
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8
[We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed [we are] perplexed, but not in despair
9
Persecuted, but not forsaken cast down, but not destroyed
10
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken we also believe, and therefore speak
14
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
15
For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16
For which cause we faint not but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory
18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
