To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

^19:1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

^19:2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

^19:3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

^19:4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

^19:5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

^19:6His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

^19:7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

^19:8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

^19:9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

^19:10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

^19:11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

^19:12Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

^19:13Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

^19:14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

^3:1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; ^3:2Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. ^3:3For this manwas counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. ^3:4For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. ^3:5And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; ^3:6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. ^3:7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, ^3:8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: ^3:9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. ^3:10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. ^3:11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) ^3:12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. ^3:13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. ^3:14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;^3:15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. ^3:16For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. ^3:17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? ^3:18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? ^3:19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
