Joshua 4

• 1. And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
• 2. Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
• 3. And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
• 4. Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
• 5. And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
• 6. That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
• 7. Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
• 8. And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
• 9. And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
• 10. For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
• 11. And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
• 12. And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
• 13. About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
• 14. On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
• 15. And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
• 16. Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
• 17. Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
• 18. And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
• 19. And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
• 20. And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
• 21. And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
• 22. Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
• 23. For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
• 24. That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

Psalms 129

• 1. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
• 2. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
• 3. The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
• 4. The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
• 5. Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
• 6. Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
• 7. Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
• 8. Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

Psalms 130

• 1. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
• 2. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
• 3. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
• 4. But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
• 5. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
• 6. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
• 7. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
• 8. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Psalms 131

• 1. Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
• 2. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
• 3. Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Isaiah 64

• 1. Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
• 2. As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
• 3. When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
• 4. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
• 5. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
• 6. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
• 7. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
• 8. But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
• 9. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
• 10. Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
• 11. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
• 12. Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
