|THE NEW JERUSALEM MAP IS SANCTIFIED: for the Salms And Suras, of Torah and Koran, Were Not Intended (By G-d), to be read only as individual chapters, but across select neighbouring chapters as well. Therefore, the text may be read across, as well as in columns! The places where I have not properly succeeded in this, are attributable to occasional defects in the numbering of the verses from the two sources; also, this was properly intended to be displayed in both the Arabic, and also the Hebrew languages. The result is, that all or part of a sentence may end up on the line above or below where it should be. New Jerusalem may now be viewed in INTERNET EXPLORER 9.0, or FIREFOX 4.0, and will display the text correctly in the proper columns.  However, (for ease of use) this Map properly requires a word processor program capable of displaying text in an "UNLIMITED NO WRAP FORMAT". NotePad and WordPad both, have "NO WRAP Settings", but are too limited in width to accomodate it. MS Office Word, and the like, do not allow for "NO WRAP SETTINGS" at all. I suggest using the free program: "TextEdit"; or the trial version of "TextPad". Both are available from cnet, but "TextPad" offers multiplatform, technical, and 64bit support. Legend: The Font used is: "New Courier" or "Courier", you may use either. Use of the Control Key, together with the Arrow Key, moves the cursor from word-to-word or sentence-to-sentence. Use of the Arrow Key alone, moves the curser slower, and from from letter-to-letter. The arrows: ">>" or "<<" show unobstructed travel to end of Map. With the cursor on the line with the double arrows, holding down the Control Key and pressing the Arrow Key a single time, will instantly negotiate to the other side of the map. Continuing to hold down the Control, and pressing the Arrow Key again, will return to the beginning of the next line. The arrows: ">" or "<" show travel only to the next point on the Map.  Foreword: Blessings Be Upon All, In The Name Of G-d, The Compassionate, The Merciful. The Lord Bless thee, And Keep thee; The Lord Make His Face To Shine upon thee, And Be Gracious unto thee; The Lord Lift Up His Countenance upon thee, And Give thee Peace. A Persian and Hebrew rug have I woven in Broadplace. And while It may contain a few threads out of place from The Original, G-d Has The Mother Of The Book, yet have I reproduced It from the memory of my heart. And had I more time, It would be Flawless, and neither am I, nor all men flawless; but there is a time and place for all things, and now is the time of Unity. You were naked in Eden, but you knew not that you were naked; and you are clothed in sin now, but you know not that you are sinful; you Will Know When you Are Clothed With Righteousness, For There Will Be Peace. And I would not discourage any from spending the next thousand years Rendering This Garment Flawless, That Is Meat Indeed. But Drink Also Of The Moat, For These Are Living Waters. Be Perfect, As your Father Who Is In Heaven Is Perfect, and live always in Peace. Praise G-d For His Wisdom In The Making Of This Book, without Whose Mercy, It Would Not Exist, And you Would Not exist. We are each of us, a part of one single religion, in the Worship Of One Single G-d. It Is By This Spirit Of Truth, that I call for a cessation of violent acts worldwide, That The Word Be Permitted To Go Forth For The Rebuilding Of The Temple At Jerusalem As A House Of Prayer for all nations, and A New World will be Created here on Earth.  Wonderful In Counsel Is G-d The Mighty, The Everlasting Father, The Ruler Of Peace.>>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verily, G-d Is Watching Over you!____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And give to the orphans their property; substitute not worthless things of your own for their valuable ones, and devour not their property after adding it to your own; for this is a great crime.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And if ye are apprehensive that ye shall not deal fairly with orphans, then, of other women who seem good in your eyes, marry but two, or three, or four; and if ye still fear that ye shall not act equitably, then one only; or the slaves whom ye have acquired: this will make justice on your part easier. Give women their dowry freely; but if of themselves they give up aught thereof to you, then enjoy it as convenient, and profitable:____And entrust not to the incapable, the substance which God hath placed with you for their support; but maintain them therewith, and clothe them, and speak to them with kindly speech.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; and if ye perceive in them a sound judgment, then hand over their substance to them; but consume ye it not wastefully, or by hastily entrusting it to them;_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Because they are growing up. And let the rich guardian not even touch it; and let him who is poor use it for his support (eat of it) with discretion.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And when ye make over their substance to them, then take witnesses in their presence: God also maketh a sufficient account._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O ye people of the Book! overstep not bounds in your religion; and of God, speak only truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only an apostle of God, and his Word which he conveyed into Mary, and a Spirit  proceeding from himself. Believe therefore in God and his apostles, and say not, "Three:" (there is a Trinity)--Forbear--it will be better for you. God is only one God! Far be it from His glory that He should have a son! His, whatever is in the Heavens, and whatever is in the Earth! And God is a sufficient Guardian.____The Messiah disdaineth not to be a servant of God, nor do the angels who are nigh unto Him.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And whoso disdaineth His service, and is filled with pride, God will gather them all to Himself.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And to those who believe and do the things that are right, will He pay them their due recompense, and out of His bounty will He increase them: but as for those who are disdainful and proud, with a grievous chastisement will He chastise them;__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And none beside God shall they find to protect or to help them.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O men! now hath a proof come to you from your Lord, and we have sent down to you a clear light. As to those who believe in God and lay fast hold on Him, these will He cause to enter into his mercy and grace, and along the straight way unto Himself will He guide them.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________They will consult thee. SAY: God instructeth you as to distant kindred. If a man die childless, but have a sister, half what he shall have shall be her's; and if she die childless he shall be her heir. But if there be two sisters, two-third parts of what he shall have shall be theirs; and if there be both brothers and sisters, the male shall have the portion of two females. God teacheth you plainly, that ye err not! God knoweth all things.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Vain the works of him who shall renounce the faith! and in the next world he shall be of the lost.____Jesus, Son of Mary, said--"O God, our Lord! send down a table to us out of Heaven, that it may become a recurring festival to us, to the first of us and to the last of us, and a sign from thee; and do thou nourish us, for thou art the best of nourishers."___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And God said--Verily, I will cause it to descend unto you; but whoever among you after that shall disbelieve, I will surely chastise him with a chastisement, wherewith I will not chastise any other creature.________________________________________________________________________________________________________And when God shall say--"O Jesus, Son of Mary: hast thou said unto mankind-- 'Take me and my mother as two Gods, beside God?"'

We had settled them on the earth as we have not settled you, and we sent down the very heavens upon them in copious rains, and we made the rivers to flow beneath their feet: yet we destroyed them in their sins, and raised up other generations to succeed them._____________________________________________________________________________And had we sent down to thee a Book written on parchment, and they had touched it with their hands, the infidels had surely said, "This is nought but plain sorcery."___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What wait they for, but the coming of the angels to them, or the coming of thy Lord Himself, or that some of the sings of the Lord should come to pass?

Immunity From G-d And His Apostle: to those with whom ye are in league, among the polytheist Arabs!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Go ye, therefore, at large in the land four months: but know that God ye shall not weaken;and that those who believe not, God will put to shame--_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And a proclamation on the part of God and His Apostle to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage, that God is free from any engagement with the votaries of other gods with God as is His Apostle! If, therefore, ye turn to God it will be better for you; but if ye turn back, then know that ye shall not weaken God: and to those who believe not, announce thou a grievous punishment.____________________________________________________But this concerneth not those Polytheists with whom ye are in league, and who shall have afterwards in no way failed you, nor aided anyone against you. Observe, therefore, engagement with them through the whole time of their treaty: for God loveth those who fear Him.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And when the sacred months are passed, kill those who join other gods with God wherever ye shall find them; and seize them, besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush: but if they shall convert, and observe prayer, and pay the obligatory alms, then let them go their way, for God is Gracious, Merciful._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________If any one of those who join gods with God ask an asylum of thee, grant him an asylum, that he may hear the Word of God, and then let him reach his place of safety. This, for that they are people devoid of knowledge._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How shall they who add gods to God be in league with God and with His Apostle, save those with whom ye made a league at the sacred temple? So long as they are true to you, be ye true to them; for God loveth those who fear Him.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Believers! wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbours, and let them find you rigorous: and know that God is with those who fear him.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Whenever a Sura is sent down, there are some of them who say, "Whose faith hath it increased?" It will increase the faith of those who believe, and they shall rejoice.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________But as to those in whose hearts is a disease, it will add doubt to their doubt, and they shall die infidels.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Do they not see that they are proved every year once or twice? Yet they turn not, neither are they warned._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And whenever a Sura is sent down, they look at one another. . . . "Doth any one see you?" then turn they aside. God shall turn their hearts aside, because they are a people devoid of understanding.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Now hath an Apostle come unto you from among yourselves: your iniquities press heavily upon him. He is careful over you, and towards the faithful, compassionate, merciful.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________If they turn away, SAY: God sufficeth me: there is no God but He.

But the plotting of evil shall only enmesh those who make use of it. Look they then for aught but God's way of dealing with the peoples of old? Thou shalt not find any change in the way of God,--________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yea, thou shalt not find any variableness in the way of God._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Have they never journeyed in the land and seen what hath been the end of those who flourished before them, though mightier in strength than they? God is not to be frustrated by aught in the Heavens or in the Earth; for He is the All-knowing, the All-mighty.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________If, moreover, God should chastise men according to their deserts, He would not leave even a reptile on the back of the earth!

Theirs shall be a round of evil; and God is angry with them and curseth them, and hath prepared Hell for them: and, an evil journey thither!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________The armies of the Heavens and of the Earth are God's, and God is Mighty, Wise!__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Such is God's method carried into effect of old; no change canst thou find in God's mode of dealing.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And He it was who held their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Mecca, after that He had given you the victory over them: for God saw what ye did._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________These are they who believed not, and kept you away from the sacred Mosque, as well as the offering which was prevented from reaching the place of sacrifice. And had it not been that ye would have trodden down believers, both men and women, whom ye knew not, so that a crime might have lighted on you without your knowledge on their account, and that God would bring whom He will within His mercy, this would have been otherwise ordered. Had they been apart, we had surely punished such of them as believed not, with a sore punishment.____When the unbelievers had fostered rage in their hearts--the rage of ignorance (of heathens)--God sent down His Peace on His Apostle and on the faithful, and stablished in them the word of piety, for they were most worthy and deserving of it: and God knoweth all things.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Now hath God in truth made good to His Apostle the dream in which he said, "Ye shall surely enter the sacred Mosque, if God will, in full security, having your heads shaved and your hair cut: ye shall not fear; for He knoweth what ye know not; and He hath ordained you, beside this, a speedy victory."__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________It is He who hath sent His Apostle with "the Guidance," and the religion of truth, that He may exalt it above every religion. And enough for thee is this testimony on the part of God.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Muhammad is the Apostle of God; and his comrades are vehement against the infidels, but full of tenderness among themselves. Thou mayst see them bowing down, prostrating themselves, imploring favours from God, and His acceptance. Their tokens are on their faces, the marks of their prostrations. This is their picture in the Law, and their picture in the Evangel: they are as the seed which putteth forth its stalk; then strengtheneth it, and it groweth stout, and riseth upon its stem,  rejoicing the husbandman--that the infidels may be wrathful at them. To such of them as believe and do the things that are right, hath God promised forgiveness and a noble recompense.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

But God hath endeared the faith to you, and hath given it favour in your hearts, and hath made unbelief, and wickedness, and disobedience hateful to you. Such are they who pursue a right course._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O Believers! avoid frequent suspicions, for some suspicions are a crime; and pry not: neither let the one of you traduce another in his absence.

Say thou: Ye believe not; but rather say, "We profess Islam;" for the faith hath not yet found its way into your hearts.

to those of you who put away their wives by saying, "Be thou to me as my mother's back" their mothers they are not; they only are their mothers who gave them birth! they certainly say a blameworthy

untruth:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________But truly, God is Forgiving, Indulgent.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And those who thus put away their wives, and afterwards would recall their words, must free a captive before they can come together again. To this are ye warned to conform: and God is aware of what ye do.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And he who findeth not a captive to set free, shall fast two months in succession before they two come together. And he who shall not be able to do so, shall feed sixty poor men. This, that he may believe in God and His Apostle. These are the statutes of God: and for the unbelievers is an afflictive chastisement!______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Truly, they who oppose God and His Apostle shall be brought low, as those who were before them were brought low. And now have we sent down demonstrative signs: and, for the Infidels is a shameful chastisement.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________On the day when God shall raise them all to life, and shall tell them of their doings. God hath taken count of them, though they have forgotten them! and God is witness over all things._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________God hath got ready for them a severe torment: for, evil is that they do.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________They make a cloak of their faith, and turn others aside from the way of God: wherefore a shameful torment awaiteth them._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Not at all shall their wealth or their children avail them aught against God. Companions shall they be of the fire: they shall abide therein for ever.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________On the day when God shall raise them all, they will swear to Him as they now swear to you, deeming that it will avail them.

Ye did not think that they would quit them; and they on their part thought that their fortresses would protect them against God: But God came upon them whence they looked not for Him, and cast such fear into their hearts that by their own hands as well as by the hands of the victorious believers they demolished their houses! Profit by this example ye who are men of insight!____And were it not that God had decreed their exile, surely in this world would he have chastised them: but in the world to come the chastisement of the fire awaiteth them.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This because they set them against God and his apostle; and whoso setteth him against God. . . . !

YE who believe! take not my foe and your foe for friends, shewing them kindness, although they believe not that truth which hath come to you: they drive forth the Apostles and yourselves because ye believe in God your Lord! If ye go forth to fight on my way, and from a desire to please me, and shew them kindness in private, I well know what ye conceal, and what ye discover! Whoso doth this hath already gone astray from the even way._________________________If they meet with you they will prove your foes: hand and tongue will they put forth for your hurt, and will desire that you become infidels again.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Neither your kindred nor your children shall at all avail you on the day of the resurrection. A severance between you will it make! and your actions doth God behold.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A good example had ye in Abraham, and in those who followed him, when they said to their people, "Verily, we are clear of you, and of what ye worship beside God: we renounce you: and between us and hath hatred and enmity sprung up for ever, until ye believe in God alone." Yet imitate not the language of Abraham to his Father, "I will pray for thy forgiveness, but not aught shall I obtain for thee from God." O our Lord! in thee do we trust! to thee do we turn! to thee we shall come back at the last.________________________________________________________________________O our Lord! expose us not for trial to the unbelievers, and forgive us: for thou art the Mighty, the Wise!______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A good example had ye in them, for all who hope in God and in the last day. But let who will, turn back, God truly is the Rich, the Praiseworthy!________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________God will, perhaps, establish good will between yourselves and those of them whom ye take to be your enemies: God is Powerful: and God is Gracious, Merciful.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________God will, perhaps, establish good will between yourselves and those of them whom ye take to be your enemies: God is Powerful: and God is Gracious, Merciful.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________God doth not forbid you to deal with kindness and fairness toward those who have not made war upon you on account of your religion, or driven you forth from your homes: for God loveth those who act with fairness.___________________________________________________________________________________________________Only doth God forbid you to make friends of those who, on account of your religion, have warred against you, and have driven you forth from your homes, and have aided those who drove you forth: and whoever maketh friends of them are wrong- doers.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O Believers! when believing women come over to you as refugees (Mohadjers), then make TRIAL of them. God best knoweth their faith; but if ye have also ascertained their faith, let them not go back to the infidels; they are not lawful for them, nor are the unbelievers lawful for these women. But give them back what they have spent for their dowers. No crime shall it be in you to marry them, provided ye give them their dowers. Do not retain any right in the infidel women, but demand back what you have spent for their dowers, and let the unbelievers demand back what they have spent for their wives. This is the ordinance of God which He ordaineth among you: and God is Knowing, Wise.____And if any of your wives escape from you to the Infidels from whom ye afterwards take any spoil, then give to those whose wives shall have fled away, the like of what they shall have spent for their dowers; and fear God in whom ye believe.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O Prophet! when believing women come to thee, and pledge themselves that they will not associate aught with God, and that they will not steal or commit adultery, nor kill their children, nor bring scandalous charges, nor disobey thee in what is right, then plight thou thy faith to them, and ask pardon for them of God: for God is Indulgent, Merciful!____________________________________________________________________________O Believers! enter not into amity with those against whom God is angered; they despair of the life to come, even as the Infidels despair of the inmates of the

God guideth not the wicked!____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Fain would they put out the light of God with their mouths! but though the Infidels hate it, God will perfect his light.

This, did ye but know it, will be best for you._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Your sins will He forgive you, and He will bring you into gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow--into charming abodes in the gardens of Eden: This shall be the great bliss.--__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And other things which ye desire will he bestow, Help from God and speedy conquest! Bear thou these tidings to the faithful._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O ye who believe! be helpers (ansars) of God; as said Jesus the son of Mary to his apostles, "Who will come to the help of God?" "We," said the apostles, "will be helpers of God." And a part of the children of Israel believed, and a part believed not. But to those who believed gave we the upperhand over their foes, and soon did they prove victorious._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

And reckon those times exactly, and fear God your Lord. Put them not forth from their houses, nor allow them to depart, unless they have committed a proven adultery. This is the precept of God; and whoso transgresseth the precept of God, assuredly imperilleth his own self. Thou knowest not whether, after this, God may not cause something new to occur which may bring you together again.____And when they have reached their set time, then either keep them with kindness, or in kindness part from them. And take upright witnesses from among you, and bear witness as unto God. This is a caution for him who believeth in God and in the latter day. And whoso feareth God, to him will He grant a prosperous issue, and will provide for him whence he reckoned not upon it.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And for him who putteth his trust in Him will God be all-sufficient. God truly will attain his purpose. For everything hath God assigned a period._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As to such of your wives as have no hope of the recurrence of their times, if ye have doubts in regard to them, then reckon three months, and let the same be the term of those who have not yet had them. And as to those who are with child, their period shall be until they are delivered of their burden. God will make His command easy to him who feareth Him.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This is God's command which He hath sent down to you: Whoso feareth God, his evil deeds will He cancel and will increase his reward.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Lodge the divorced wherever ye lodge, according to your means; and distress them not by putting them to straits. And if they are pregnant, then be at charges for the them till they are delivered of their burden; and if they suckle your children, then pay them their hire and consult among yourselves, and act generously: And if herin ye meet with obstacles, then let another female suckle for him.____Let him who hath abundance of his abundance; let him, too, whose store is scanty, give of what God hath vouchsafed to him. God imposeth burdens only according to the means which He hath given. God will cause ease to succeed difficulties.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Lodge the divorced wherever ye lodge, according to your means; and distress them not by putting them to straits.

Fear God, then, O ye men of understanding!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Believers! Now hath God sent down to you a warning! a prophet, who reciteth to you the clear signs of God, that he may bring those who believe, and do the things that are right, out of the darkness into the light. And-whoso believeth in God, and doeth the things that are right, God will cause them to enter the gardens beneath which the rivers flow, to remain therein for aye! A goodly provision now hath God made for him.____It is God who hath created seven heavens and as many earths. The Divine command cometh down through them all, that ye may know that God hath power over all things, and that God in his knowledge embraceth all things!__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

He knoweth that there will be some among you sick, while others travel through the earth in quest of the bounties of God; and others do battle in his cause. Recite therefore so much of it as may be easy. And observe the Prayers and pay the legal Alms, and lend God a liberal loan: for whatever good works ye send on before for your own behoof, ye shall find with God. This will be best and richest in the recompense. And seek the forgiveness of God: verily, God is forgiving,

will bring usury to nought, but will increase alms with usury, and God loveth no infidel, or evil person.

Those who were greedy for this present life said, "Oh that we had the like of that which hath been bestowed on Korah! Truly he is possessed of great good fortune."__________________________________________________________________How many animals are there which provide not  their own food! God feedeth them and you. He Heareth, Knoweth all things.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thou canst not make the dead to hear, neither canst thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they withdraw and turn their backs:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________God's, whatever is in the Heavens and the Earth! for God, He is the Rich,  the Praiseworthy.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And we will surely cause them to taste a punishment yet nearer at hand, besides the greater punishment, that haply they may turn to us in penitence._______________________________________________________________________________________________Yet have they taken other gods beside God that they might be helpful to them.____________________________________________________________________________________And lo! my ban shall be on thee till the day of the reckoning."_________________________________________________________________________________________________Enter ye the portals of Hell to abide therein for ever. And, wretched the abode of the haughty ones!"_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Of old we gave the Book to Moses, and disputes arose about it: and if a decree of respite from thy Lord had gone before, there would surely have been a decision between them: for great were their doubts and questionings about it.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And thou shalt see them when set before it, downcast for the shame: they shall look at it with stealthy glances: and the believers shall say, "Truly are the losers they who have lost themselves and their families on the day of Resurrection! Shall not the perpetrators of injustice be in lasting torment?"____Think they that we hear not their secrets and their private talk? Yes, and our angels who are at their sides write them down._________________________________________________________________________________Lo! this is that of which ye doubted."_________________________________________________________________________________And thou shalt see every nation KNEELING: to its own book shall every nation be summoned:-- This day shall ye be repaid as ye have wrought._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Of old, too, did we destroy the cities which were round about you; and, in order that they might return to us, we varied our signs before them.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Lo! herein is warning for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear, and is himself an eye-witness.________________________________________________________________Their looks shall be downcast: shame shall cover them: because, while yet in safety, they were invited to bow in worship, but would not obey.______________|
|But if ye do it not, and never shall ye do it, then fear the fire prepared for the infidels, whose fuel is men and stones:_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Hast thou not marked those who have received a portion of the Scriptures, when they are summoned to the Book of God, that it may settle their differences? Then did a part of them turn back, and withdrew far off.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________They said, "O our Lord! With ourselves have we dealt unjustly: if thou forgive us not and have not pity on us, we shall surely be of those who perish."___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And when after a trouble which had befallen them, we caused this people to taste of mercy, lo! a plot on their part against our signs! SAY: Swifter to plot is God! Verily, our messengers note down your plottings.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Who pervert others from the way of God, and seek to make it crooked, and believe not in a life to come, God's power on earth they shall not weaken; and beside God they have no protector! Doubled shall be their punishment! They were not able to hearken, and they could not see.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And when he had reached his age of strength we bestowed on him judgment and knowledge; for thus do we recompense the well doers.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And who, from desire to see the face of their Lord, are constant amid trials, and observe prayer and give alms, in secret and openly, out of what we have bestowed upon them, and turn aside evil by good: for these, is the recompense of that abode,___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Seest thou not, that in truth hath God created the Heavens and the Earth? Were such his pleasure He could make you pass away, and cause a new creation to arise.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And We send forth the fertilizing winds, and cause the rain to come down from the heaven, and give you to drink of it; and it is not ye who are its storers:____And she conceived him, and retired with him to a far-off place.___________________________________________________________________________________________________He said, "Lay hold on it, and fear not: to its former state will we restore it."_____________________________________________________________________He said, "The Lord of the Heavens, and of the Earth, and of all that is between them, if only ye believe it."___________________________Nor tarried it long ere it came and said, "I have gained the knowledge that thou knowest not, and with sure tidings have I come to thee from Saba:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And when he arrived at the water of Madian, he found at it a company of men watering.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As for those who believe not in the signs of God, or that they shall ever meet him, these of my mercy shall despair, and these doth a grievous chastisement await."___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And of his signs are your sleep by night and by day, and your goings in quest of his bounties. Herein truly are signs to those who hearken._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________But let not the unbelief of the unbelieving grieve thee: unto us shall they return: then will we tell them of their doings; for God knoweth the very secrets of the breast.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Who acteth worse than he who is warned by the signs of his Lord, then turneth away from them? We will surely take vengeance on the guilty ones.____________________________________________________________________________________________________Shall I take gods beside Him? If the God of Mercy be pleased to afflict me, their intercession will not avert from me aught, nor will they deliver:___________________________________________________________________________________Now this my brother had ninety and nine ewes, and I had but a single ewe; and he said, make me her keeper. And he over-persuaded me in the dispute."__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Have they never journeyed in this land, and seen what hath been the end of those who flourished before them? Mightier were they in strength than these Meccans, and their traces remain in the land: Yet God took them in their sins, and there was none to defend them against God.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And this your thought, which ye did think of your Lord, hath ruined you, so that ye are become of those who perish."__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This is what God announceth to his servants who believe and do the things that are right. SAY: For this, ask I no wage of you, save the love of my kin. And whoever shall have won the merit of a good deed, we will increase good to him therewith; for God is forgiving, grateful.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And thus, never before thy time did we send a warner to any city but its wealthy ones said: "Verily we found our fathers with a religion, and in their tracks we tread."________________________________________________"March forth then, said God, with my servants by night, for ye will be pursued.____________________________________What thinkest thou? He who hath made a God of his passions, and whom God causeth wilfully to err, and whose ears, and whose heart, he hath sealed up, and over whose sight he hath placed a veil--who, after his rejection by God, shall guide such a one? Will ye not then be warned?____"That knowledge," said he, "is with God alone: I only proclaim to you the message with which I am sent. But I perceive that ye are a people sunk in ignorance."__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And

Thou wast not present with Joseph's brethren when they conceived their design and laid their plot: but the greater part of men, though thou long for it, will not believe.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A picture of the Paradise which God hath promised to them that fear Him.

So oft as they are fed therefrom with fruit for sustenance, they shall say, "This same was our sustenance of old:" And they shall have its like given to them.  Therein shall they have wives of perfect purity, and therein shall they abide for ever.____This--because they said, "The fire shall by no means touch us, but for certain days:"--Their own devices have deceived them in their religion._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________He said, "Get ye down, the one of you an enemy  to the other; and on earth shall be your dwelling, and your provision for a season."______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________He it is who enableth you to travel by land and sea, so that ye go on board of ships--which sail on with them, with favouring breeze in which they rejoice.

She said: "Oh, would that I had died ere this, and been a thing forgotten, forgotten quite!"_________________"Now place thy right hand to thy arm-pit: it shall come forth white, but unhurt:--another sign!--____________________________________________________Said Pharaoh to those around him, "Hear ye this?"_______________________________________________________________________________________I found a woman reigning over them, gifted with everything, and she hath a splendid throne;_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And he found beside them, two women keeping back their flock: "Why do ye," said he, "thus?"

Herein truly are signs to those who understand.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yet a little while will we provide for them: afterwards will we force them to a stern punishment.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________We heretofore gave the Book of the law to Moses: have thou no doubt as to our meeting with him: and we appointed it for the guidance of the children of Israel.____________________________________________________________________________________Truly then should I be in a manifest error.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________He said, "Certainly he hath wronged thee in asking for thine ewe to add her to his own ewes: and truly many associates do one another wrong--except those who believe and do the things that are right; and few indeed are they!" And David perceived that we had tried him; so he asked pardon of his Lord, and fell down and bowed himself and repented.____This, because their apostles had come to them with proofs of their mission, and they believed not: so God took them in hand; for He is mighty, vehement in punishing.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And be they patient, still the fire shall be their abode: or if they beg for favour, yet shall they not be of the favoured.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Will they say he hath forged a lie of God?

but let him note it down, and let him who oweth the debt dictate, and let him fear God his Lord, and not diminish aught thereof. But if he who oweth the debt be foolish or weak, or be not able to dictate himself, let his friend dictate for him with fairness; and call to witness two witnesses of your people: but if there be not two men, let there be a man, and two women of those whom ye shall judge fit for witnesses: if the one of them should mistake, the other may cause her to recollect. And the witnesses shall not refuse, whenever they shall be summoned. And disdain not to put the debt in writing, be it large or small, with its time of payment: this will be more just for you in the sight of God, better suited for witnessing, and the best for avoiding doubt. But if the goods be there present, and ye pass them from hand to hand--then it shall be no fault in you not to write it down. And have witnesses when ye sell, and harm not writer or witness: it will be a crime in you to do this. But fear God and God will give you knowledge, for God hath knowledge of all things.____Let not prosperity in the land on the part of those who believe not, deceive thee. 'Tis but a brief enjoyment!

Are they sure that the overwhelming chastisement of God shall not come upon them, or that that Hour shall not come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware?_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What He pleaseth will God abrogate or confirm: for with Him is the source of revelation.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Think not then that God will fail his promise to his Apostles: aye!

He hath taken note of them, and numbered them with exact numbering:____________________________________________And strain not thine eye after what We have bestowed on divers of them--the braveries of this world--that we may thereby prove them. The portion which thy Lord will give, is better and more lasting._______________________________________________________It is the POETS  whom the erring follow:______________________________________________________________________________________To him who shall present himself with good works, shall be a reward beyond their desert,  and they shall be secure from the terror on that day;__________________________________________________________________________________Whoso doeth good shall have reward beyond its merits, and whoso doeth evil, they who do evil shall be rewarded only as they shall have wrought.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Lo! when they embark on shipboard, they call upon God, vowing him sincere worship, but when He bringeth them safe to land, behold they join partners with Him._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________But they to whom knowledge and faith have been given will say, "Ye have waited, in accordance with the book of God, till the day of Resurrection: for this is the day of the Resurrection--but ye knew it not."__________________________________________________________________________Seest thou not how the ships speed on in the sea, through the favour of God, that he may shew you of his signs? for herein are signs to all patient, grateful ones.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Is it not notorious to them how many generations, through whose abodes they walk, we have destroyed before them? Truly herein are sings: will they not then hear?__________________________________________________________________________________SAY: He shall give life to them who gave them being at first, for in all creation is he skilled:_________________________________________________________________Save thy sincere servants among them."__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And He sheweth you His signs: which, then, of the signs of God will ye deny?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And if we cause him to taste our mercy after affliction hath touched him, he is sure to say, "This is my due: and I take no thought of the Hour of Resurrection: and if I be brought back to my Lord, I shall indeed attain with Him my highest good." But we will then certainly declare their doings to the Infidels, and cause them to taste a stern punishment._____________Or He giveth them children of both sexes, and He maketh whom He will to be childless; for He is Wise, Powerful!_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And Blessed be He whose is the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth and of all that is between them; for with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, and to Him shall ye be brought back._______________________Therein shall they call, secure, for every kind of fruit;______________________________________________________________And the evils they have wrought shall rise up into their view, and that at which they mocked shall hem them in on every side.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And he who shall not respond to God's preacher, yet cannot weaken God's power on earth, nor shall he have protectors beside Him. These are in obvious error."______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The day on which men shall in truth hear that shout will be the day of their coming forth from the grave.____________________________________________________Patiently then await the judgment of thy Lord, and be not like him who was in the fish,  when in deep distress he cried to God.____________________________|

and Thou, O LORD, how long?____________________________________________________When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast established;_________________________________________________When mine enemies are turned back, they stumble and perish at Thy presence;________________________________________________________________The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD, His throne is in heaven;

therefore for Thy name's sake lead me and guide me.______________________________________________________________________________________________The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good._________________________________________My heart waxed hot within me; while I was musing, the fire kindled; then spoke I with my tongue:_______________________________________________________And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.__________________________________________________________________________________________The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness._________________________________________My tears have been my food day and night, while they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God?'_____________________________________________________________________________________________For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them;

give ear to the words of my mouth._______________________________________________________________Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me._______________________________________In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee._____________________________________________________________________________________________He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth;

and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.____________________________________________________________Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.________________________________________________________________________Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God--.____Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger._______________________________________________________For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.__________________________________________________________In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I am all prayer.________________________________________________________________________For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.____________________________________________________________________________They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent;

the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________For

LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.____________________________________________There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and the request of his lips Thou hast not withholden._______________________________________________________Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.___________________________________________________________________________________For I have heard the whispering of many, TERROR ON EVERY SIDE; while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life._________________________________________Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks--there is no fear of God before his eyes._________________________________________I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, had no comfort; and my pain was held in check._______________________________________________________________Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.__________________________________________________________________________The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.____They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.___________________________________________________________________________________________________O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Who hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________They see Thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, in holiness.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.____________________________________________________________________Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?'____________________________________________________________________________Thou didst pluck up a vine out of Egypt; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it.____________________________________He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:_____How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin.______________________________________________________________Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down.___________________________________________________________________This would mine adversaries effect from the LORD, and they that speak evil against my soul.________________________________________________For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together in my mother's womb.__________________________________________________________________________________Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________|

judgments.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him._________________________________________But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee._______________________For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the nether-world who will give Thee thanks?____________________What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him?________________________________________________________________The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.____________________________________For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have made ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.____May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The LORD looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God._________________The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.___________________________________________________________________________The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;____________________________________________________Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.____________________________________________________________________Thy hand shall be equal to all thine enemies; thy right hand shall overtake those that hate thee.___________________________________________________Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!___________________________________Oh how abundant is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that take their refuge in Thee, in the sight of the sons of men!____How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings._______________________Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the base.___________________________________________________________________________For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me._________________________'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'___________________________________________________O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar._________________________________________________________Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat thy favour with a gift.'_______________________________________________________Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted._____________________________________________________________He chooseth our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loveth.______________________________________________________________________________________But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; for He shall receive me.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness._________________________________________________________Thou lovest all devouring words, the deceitful tongue._____________________________________________________________________________________________The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.______________________________________O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth._______________________________________________________________He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.______________________________________________________________________________Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?__________________________________________________________They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; they have digged a pit before me, they are fallen into the midst thereof  themselves.__________________________Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.____________________________For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.__________________________________Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre._________________For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.______________________________________Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God._____________________________________________They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.__________________So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.____________________________________I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats._________________That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations._______________________________________________________Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, every one submitting himself with pieces of silver; He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war!____And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thou, even Thou, art terrible; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?________________________________Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.______________________________________________________________________________O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; look from heaven, and behold, and be mindful of this vine,_______________________________But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.______________________________________________________________________They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion._____________________________________________________________________________I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.____But as for me: unto Thee, O LORD do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee._______________________________________Help me, O LORD my God; O save me according to Thy mercy;__________________________________________________________________________________If Thou but wouldest slay the wicked, O God--depart from me therefore, ye men of blood;_______________________________________________________________________Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________|
