Psalm 10:1-15
Proverbs 19:6-7

1Ch 15:1  And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

1Ch 15:2  Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

1Ch 15:3  And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it.

1Ch 15:4  And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

1Ch 15:5  Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:

1Ch 15:6  Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:

1Ch 15:7  Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:

1Ch 15:8  Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:

1Ch 15:9  Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:

1Ch 15:10  Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

1Ch 15:11  And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

1Ch 15:12  And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

1Ch 15:13  For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

1Ch 15:14  So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

1Ch 15:15  And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

1Ch 15:16  And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

1Ch 15:17  So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

1Ch 15:18  And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

1Ch 15:19  So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

1Ch 15:20  And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

1Ch 15:21  And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

1Ch 15:22  And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

1Ch 15:23  And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

1Ch 15:24  And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

1Ch 15:25  So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.

1Ch 15:26  And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

1Ch 15:27  And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

1Ch 15:28  Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

1Ch 15:29  And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

1Ch 16:1  So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.

1Ch 16:2  And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

1Ch 16:3  And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

1Ch 16:4  And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:

1Ch 16:5  Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

1Ch 16:6  Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

1Ch 16:7  Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

1Ch 16:8  Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

1Ch 16:11  Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

1Ch 16:12  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

1Ch 16:13  O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

1Ch 16:14  He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

1Ch 16:15  Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

1Ch 16:16  Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

1Ch 16:17  And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

1Ch 16:18  Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

1Ch 16:19  When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

1Ch 16:20  And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

1Ch 16:21  He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

1Ch 16:22  Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

1Ch 16:23  Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

1Ch 16:24  Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

1Ch 16:25  For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

1Ch 16:26  For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

1Ch 16:27  Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

1Ch 16:28  Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

1Ch 16:29  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

1Ch 16:30  Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

1Ch 16:31  Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

1Ch 16:32  Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

1Ch 16:33  Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

1Ch 16:34  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

1Ch 16:35  And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

1Ch 16:36  Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

Rom 1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Rom 1:19  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

Rom 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Rom 1:21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Rom 1:22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Rom 1:24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Rom 1:25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Rom 1:26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Rom 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Psa 10:1  Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

Psa 10:2  The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

Psa 10:3  For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

Psa 10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Psa 10:5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

Psa 10:6  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

Psa 10:7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

Psa 10:8  He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

Psa 10:9  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

Psa 10:10  He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

Psa 10:11  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Psa 10:12  Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

Psa 10:13  Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Psa 10:14  Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

Psa 10:15  Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

Pro 19:6  Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

Pro 19:7  All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
