- “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
- Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects.
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. - To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend;
even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty. - We can’t reach the Almighty.
He is exalted in power.
In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress. - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.” - Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies.
Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. - ‘Return to me,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will return to you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
- Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.
- Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
- For nothing spoken by God is impossible.
- Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
- Who is this King of glory?
Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah. - Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised!
His greatness is unsearchable. - Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!
- For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- This also comes out from Yahweh of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
- Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you,
as you say. - Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
- This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
- The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell in it. - For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
- Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
- “They shall be mine,” says Yahweh of Armies, “my own possession in the day that I make. I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.”
- He reveals the deep and secret things.
He knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him. - You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
Thus has Yahweh of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother. Don’t oppress the widow, the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’Who is this King of glory?
Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age.Next verse!With image
