The effect of the judgment on the righteous, as contrasted with its effect on the wicked (Mal 4:1). To the wicked it shall be as an oven that consumes the stubble (Mat 6:30); to the righteous it shall be the advent of the gladdening Sun, not of condemnation, but "of righteousness"; not destroying, but "healing" (Jer 23:6).
you that fear my name--The same as those in Mal 3:16, who confessed God amidst abounding blasphemy (Isa 66:5; Mat 10:32). The spiritual blessings brought by Him are summed up in the two, "righteousness" (Co1 1:30) and spiritual "healing" (Psa 103:3; Isa 57:19). Those who walk in the dark now may take comfort in the certainty that they shall walk hereafter in eternal light (Isa 50:10).
in his wings--implying the winged swiftness with which He shall appear (compare "suddenly," Mal 3:1) for the relief of His people. The beams of the Sun are His "wings." Compare "wings of the morning," Psa 139:9. The "Sun" gladdening the righteous is suggested by the previous "day" of terror consuming the wicked. Compare as to Christ, Sa2 23:4; Psa 84:11; Luk 1:78; Joh 1:9; Joh 8:12; Eph 5:14; and in His second coming, Pe2 1:19. The Church is the moon reflecting His light (Rev 12:1). The righteous shall by His righteousness "shine as the Sun in the kingdom of the Father" (Mat 13:43).
ye shall go forth--from the straits in which you were, as it were, held captive. An earnest of this was given in the escape of the Christians to Pella before the destruction of Jerusalem.
grow up--rather, "leap" as frisking calves [CALVIN]; literally, "spread," "take a wide range."
as calves of the stall--which when set free from the stall disport with joy (Act 8:8; Act 13:52; Act 20:24; Rom 14:17; Gal 5:22; Phi 1:4; Pe1 1:8). Especially the godly shall rejoice at their final deliverance at Christ's second coming (Isa 61:10). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But (And) unto you, who fear My Name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise - It is said of God Psa 84:11, "The Lord God is a sun and a shield, and Isa 60:19-20, The Lord shall be to thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory; thy sun shall no more go down, for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light;" and Zacharias, speaking of the office of John the Baptist in the words of Malachi, "thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His way, speaks of Luk 1:76, Luk 1:78-79. the tender mercy of our God, whereby the Dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness." "He who is often called Lord and God, and Angel and Captain of the Lord's host, and Christ and priest and Word and Wisdom of God and Image, is now called the Sun of Righteousness. He, the Father promises, will arise, not to all, but to those only who fear His Name, giving them the light of the Sun of Righteousness, as the reward of their fear toward Him. This is God the Word Who saith, 'I am the Light of the world,' Who was 'the Light of every one who cometh into the world."' Primarily, Malachi speaks of our Lord's second Coming, when Heb 9:28. "to them that look for Him shall He appear, a second time unto salvation."
For as, in so many places (As Psa 1:6; Psa 2:12; Psa 3:7-8; Psa 5:10-12; Psa 6:8-10; Psa 7:16-17; Psa 9:17-20; Psa 10:16-18; Psa 11:6-7; Psa 17:13-15; Psa 20:8; Psa 26:9-12; Psa 31:23; Psa 32:10-11; Psa 34:21-22; Psa 35:26-28; Psa 36:10-12; Psa 37:38-40; Psa 40:15-17; Psa 50:22-23; Psa 52:5-9; Psa 55:22-23; Psa 58:10-11; Psa 63:10-11; Psa 64:9-10; Psa 73:27-28; Psa 104:33-35; Psa 112:9-10; Psa 126:5; Psa 149:9.) the Old Testament exhibits the opposite lots of the righteous and the wicked, so here the prophet speaks of the Day of Judgment, in reference to the two opposite classes, of which he had before spoken, the proud and evil doers, and the fearers of God. The title, "the Sun of Righteousness," belongs to both comings , "in the first, lie diffused rays of righteousness, whereby He justified and daily justifies any sinners whatever, who will look to Him, i. e., believe in Him and obey Him, as the sun imparts light; joy and life to all who turn toward it." In the second, the righteousness which He gave, lie will own and exhibit, cleared from all the misjudgment of the world, before men and Angels. Yet more, healing is, throughout Holy Scripture, used of the removal of sickness or curing of wounds, in the individual or state or Church, and, as to the individual, bodily or spiritual.
So David thanks God, first for the forgiveness Psa 103:3-5, "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;" then for healing of his soul, "Who healeth all thy diseases;" then for salvation, "Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;" then for the crown laid up for him, "Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;" then, with the abiding sustenance and satisfying joy, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things." Healing then primarily belongs to thin life, in which we are still encompassed with infirmities, and even His elect and His saints have still, whereof to be healed. The full then and complete healing of the soul, the integrity of all its powers will be in the life to come. There, will be "understanding without error, memory without forgetfulness, thought without distraction, love without simulation, sensation without offence, satisfying without satiety, universal health without sickness." "For through Adam's sin the soul was wounded in understanding, through obscurity and ignorance; in will, through the leaning to perishing goods; as concupiscent, through infirmity and manifold concupiscence. In heaven Christ will heal all these, giving to the understanding light and knowledge; to the will, constancy in good; to the desire, that it should desire nothing but what is right and good. Then too the healing of the seal will be the light of glory, the vision and fruition of God, and the glorious endowments consequent thereon, overstreaming all the powers of the soul and therefrom to the body." "God has made the soul of a nature so mighty, that from its most full beatitude, which at the end of time is promised to the saints, there shall overflow to the inferior nature, the body, not bliss, which belongs to the soul as intelligent and capable of fruition, but the fullness of health that is, the vigorousness of incorruption."
And ye shall go forth - , as from a prison-house, from the miseries of this lifeless life, and grow up, or perhaps more probably, bound as the animal, which has been confined, exults in its regained freedom, itself full of life and exuberance of delight. So the Psalmist Psa 149:5, "The saints shall exult in glory." And our Lord uses the like word , as to the way, with which they should greet persecution to the utmost, for His Name's sake. Swiftness of motion is one of the endowments of the spiritual body, after the resurrection; as the angels, to whom the righteous shall be like, Luk 20:36, Eze 1:14 ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning." |

| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The sun of righteousness - Christ, who is fitly compared to the sun, being the fountain of light, and vital heat to his church. And of mercy and benignity; for the Hebrew word imports both. With healing - His beams shall bring health and strength, with delight and joy, safety and security. Go forth - Go out of Jerusalem, before the fatal siege. Grow up - In strength, vigour and spiritual stature. Of the stall - Where they are safe guarded and well ordered. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
You that fear my name - The persons mentioned in the sixteenth verse of the preceding chapter, ye that look for redemption through the Messiah.
The Sun of righteousness - The Lord Jesus, the promised Messiah; the Hope of Israel.
With healing in his wings - As the sun, by the rays of light and heat, revives, cheers, and fructifies the whole creation, giving, through God, light and life everywhere; so Jesus Christ, by the influences of his grace and Spirit, shall quicken, awaken, enlighten, warm, invigorate heal, purify, and refine every soul that believes in him, and, by his wings or rays, diffuse these blessings from one end of heaven to another; everywhere invigorating the seeds of righteousness, and withering and drying up the seeds of sin. The rays of this Sun are the truths of his Gospel, and the influences of his Spirit. And at present these are universally diffused.
And ye shall go forth - Ye who believe on his name shall go forth out of Jerusalem when the Romans shall come up against it. After Cestius Gallus had blockaded the city for some days, he suddenly raised the siege. The Christians who were then in it, knowing, by seeing Jerusalem encompassed with armies, that the day of its destruction was come, when their Lord commanded them to flee into the mountains, took this opportunity to escape from Jerusalem, and go to Pella, in Coelesyria; so that no Christian life fell in the siege and destruction of this city.
But these words are of more general application and meaning; "ye shall go forth" in all the occupations of life, but particularly in the means of grace; and: -
Grow up as calves of the stall - Full of health, of life, and spirits; satisfied and happy. |
10 I will greatly [07797] rejoice [07797] in the LORD [03068], my soul [05315] shall be joyful [01523] in my God [0430]; for he hath clothed [03847] me with the garments [0899] of salvation [03468], he hath covered [03271] me with the robe [04598] of righteousness [06666], as a bridegroom [02860] decketh [03547] himself with ornaments [06287], and as a bride [03618] adorneth [05710] herself with her jewels [03627].
8 Whom [3739] having [1492] not [3756] seen [1492] [1492], ye love [25]; in [1519] whom [3739], though now [737] ye see [3708] him not [3361], yet [1161] believing [4100], ye rejoice [21] with joy [5479] unspeakable [412] and [2532] full of glory [1392]:
4 Always [3842] in [1722] every [3956] prayer [1162] of mine [3450] for [5228] you [5216] all [3956] making [4160] request [1162] with [3326] joy [5479],
22 But [1161] the fruit [2590] of the Spirit [4151] is [2076] love [26], joy [5479], peace [1515], longsuffering [3115], gentleness [5544], goodness [19], faith [4102],
17 For [1063] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is [2076] not [3756] meat [1035] and [2532] drink [4213]; but [235] righteousness [1343], and [2532] peace [1515], and [2532] joy [5479] in [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
24 But [235] none [3762] of these things [3056] move me [4160], neither [3761] count I [2192] my [3450] life [5590] dear [5093] unto myself [1683], so [5613] that I might finish [5048] my [3450] course [1408] with [3326] joy [5479], and [2532] the ministry [1248], which [3739] I have received [2983] of [3844] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], to testify [1263] the gospel [2098] of the grace [5485] of God [2316].
52 And [1161] the disciples [3101] were filled with [4137] joy [5479], and [2532] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
8 And [2532] there was [1096] great [3173] joy [5479] in [1722] that [1565] city [4172].
43 Then [5119] shall the righteous [1342] shine forth [1584] as [5613] the sun [2246] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of their [846] Father [3962]. Who [3588] hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
1 And [2532] there appeared [3700] a great [3173] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; a woman [1135] clothed [4016] with the sun [2246], and [2532] the moon [4582] under [5270] her [846] feet [4228], and [2532] upon [1909] her [846] head [2776] a crown [4735] of twelve [1427] stars [792]:
19 We have [2192] also [2532] a more sure [949] word [3056] of prophecy [4397]; whereunto [3739] ye do [4160] well [2573] that ye take heed [4337], as [5613] unto a light [3088] that shineth [5316] in [1722] a dark [850] place [5117], until [2193] [3739] the day [2250] dawn [1306], and [2532] the day star [5459] arise [393] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]:
14 Wherefore [1352] he saith [3004], Awake thou [1453] that sleepest [2518], and [2532] arise [450] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] Christ [5547] shall give [2017] thee [4671] light [2017].
12 Then [3767] spake [2980] Jesus [2424] again [3825] unto them [846], saying [3004], I [1473] am [1510] the light [5457] of the world [2889]: he that followeth [190] me [1698] shall [4043] not [3364] walk [4043] in [1722] darkness [4653], but [235] shall have [2192] the light [5457] of life [2222].
9 That was [2258] the true [228] Light [5457], which [3739] lighteth [5461] every man [3956] [444] that cometh [2064] into [1519] the world [2889].
78 Through [1223] the tender [4698] mercy [1656] of our [2257] God [2316]; whereby [1722] [3739] the dayspring [395] from [1537] on high [5311] hath visited [1980] us [2248],
11 For the LORD [03068] God [0430] is a sun [08121] and shield [04043]: the LORD [03068] will give [05414] grace [02580] and glory [03519]: no good [02896] thing will he withhold [04513] from them that walk [01980] uprightly [08549].
4 And he shall be as the light [0216] of the morning [01242], when the sun [08121] riseth [02224], even a morning [01242] without [03808] clouds [05645]; as the tender grass [01877] springing out of the earth [0776] by clear shining [05051] after rain [04306].
9 If I take [05375] the wings [03671] of the morning [07837], and dwell [07931] in the uttermost parts [0319] of the sea [03220];
1 Behold, I will send [07971] my messenger [04397], and he shall prepare [06437] the way [01870] before [06440] me: and the Lord [0113], whom ye seek [01245], shall suddenly [06597] come [0935] to his temple [01964], even the messenger [04397] of the covenant [01285], whom ye delight [02655] in: behold, he shall come [0935], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
10 Who is among you that feareth [03373] the LORD [03068], that obeyeth [08085] the voice [06963] of his servant [05650], that walketh [01980] in darkness [02825], and hath no light [05051]? let him trust [0982] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], and stay [08172] upon his God [0430].
19 I create [01254] the fruit [05108] of the lips [08193]; Peace [07965], peace [07965] to him that is far off [07350], and to him that is near [07138], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; and I will heal [07495] him.
3 Who forgiveth [05545] all thine iniquities [05771]; who healeth [07495] all thy diseases [08463];
30 But [1161] of [1537] him [846] are [2075] ye [5210] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], who [3739] of [575] God [2316] is made [1096] unto us [2254] [5037] wisdom [4678], and righteousness [1343], and [2532] sanctification [38], and [2532] redemption [629]:
32 Whosoever [3956] [3748] therefore [3767] shall confess [3670] [1722] me [1698] before [1715] men [444], [1722] him [846] will I confess [3670] also [2504] before [1715] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772].
5 Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye that tremble [02730] at his word [01697]; Your brethren [0251] that hated [08130] you, that cast you out [05077] for my name's [08034] sake, said [0559], Let the LORD [03068] be glorified [03513]: but he shall appear [07200] to your joy [08057], and they shall be ashamed [0954].
16 Then they that feared [03373] the LORD [03068] spake often [01696] one [0376] to another [07453]: and the LORD [03068] hearkened [07181], and heard [08085] it, and a book [05612] of remembrance [02146] was written [03789] before [06440] him for them that feared [03373] the LORD [03068], and that thought [02803] upon his name [08034].
6 In his days [03117] Judah [03063] shall be saved [03467], and Israel [03478] shall dwell [07931] safely [0983]: and this is his name [08034] whereby he shall be called [07121], THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS [03072].
30 Wherefore [1161], if [1487] God [2316] so [3779] clothe [294] the grass [5528] of the field [68], which to day [4594] is [5607], and [2532] to morrow [839] is cast [906] into [1519] the oven [2823], shall he not [3756] much [4183] more [3123] clothe you [5209], O ye of little faith [3640]?
1 For, behold, the day [03117] cometh [0935], that shall burn [01197] as an oven [08574]; and all the proud [02086], yea, and all that do [06213] wickedly [07564], shall be stubble [07179]: and the day [03117] that cometh [0935] shall burn them up [03857], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that it shall leave [05800] them neither root [08328] nor branch [06057].
14 And the living creatures [02416] ran [07519] and returned [07725] as the appearance [04758] of a flash of lightning [0965].
36 Neither [3777] [1063] can [1410] they die [599] any more [2089]: for [1063] they are [1526] equal unto the angels [2465]; and [2532] are [1526] the children [5207] of God [2316], being [5607] the children [5207] of the resurrection [386].
5 Let the saints [02623] be joyful [05937] in glory [03519]: let them sing aloud [07442] upon their beds [04904].
3 Who forgiveth [05545] all thine iniquities [05771]; who healeth [07495] all thy diseases [08463];
4 Who redeemeth [01350] thy life [02416] from destruction [07845]; who crowneth [05849] thee with lovingkindness [02617] and tender mercies [07356];
5 Who satisfieth [07646] thy mouth [05716] with good [02896] things; so that thy youth [05271] is renewed [02318] like the eagle's [05404].
9 To execute [06213] upon them the judgment [04941] written [03789]: this honour [01926] have all his saints [02623]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050].
5 They that sow [02232] in tears [01832] shall reap [07114] in joy [07440].
9 He hath dispersed [06340], he hath given [05414] to the poor [034]; his righteousness [06666] endureth [05975] for ever [05703]; his horn [07161] shall be exalted [07311] with honour [03519].
10 The wicked [07563] shall see [07200] it, and be grieved [03707]; he shall gnash [02786] with his teeth [08127], and melt away [04549]: the desire [08378] of the wicked [07563] shall perish [06].
33 I will sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068] as long as I live [02416]: I will sing [02167] praise to my God [0430] while I have my being [05750].
34 My meditation [07879] of him shall be sweet [06149]: I will be glad [08055] in the LORD [03068].
35 Let the sinners [02400] be consumed [08552] out of the earth [0776], and let the wicked [07563] be no more. Bless [01288] thou the LORD [03068], O my soul [05315]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050].
27 For, lo, they that are far [07369] from thee shall perish [06]: thou hast destroyed [06789] all them that go a whoring [02181] from thee.
28 But [0589] it is good [02896] for me to draw near [07132] to God [0430]: I have put [07896] my trust [04268] in the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], that I may declare [05608] all thy works [04399].
9 And all men [0120] shall fear [03372], and shall declare [05046] the work [06467] of God [0430]; for they shall wisely consider [07919] of his doing [04639].
10 The righteous [06662] shall be glad [08055] in the LORD [03068], and shall trust [02620] in him; and all the upright [03477] in heart [03820] shall glory [01984].
10 They shall fall [05064] by the sword [03027] [02719]: they shall be a portion [04521] for foxes [07776].
11 But the king [04428] shall rejoice [08055] in God [0430]; every one that sweareth [07650] by him shall glory [01984]: but the mouth [06310] of them that speak [01696] lies [08267] shall be stopped [05534].
10 The righteous [06662] shall rejoice [08055] when he seeth [02372] the vengeance [05359]: he shall wash [07364] his feet [06471] in the blood [01818] of the wicked [07563].
11 So that a man [0120] shall say [0559], Verily there is a reward [06529] for the righteous [06662]: verily he is [03426] a God [0430] that judgeth [08199] in the earth [0776].
22 Cast [07993] thy burden [03053] upon the LORD [03068], and he shall sustain [03557] thee: he shall never [05769] suffer [05414] the righteous [06662] to be moved [04131].
23 But thou, O God [0430], shalt bring them down [03381] into the pit [0875] of destruction [07845]: bloody [01818] and deceitful [04820] men [0582] shall not live out half [02673] their days [03117]; but I will trust [0982] in thee.
5 God [0410] shall likewise destroy [05422] thee for ever [05331], he shall take thee away [02846], and pluck thee out [05255] of thy dwelling place [0168], and root thee out [08327] of the land [0776] of the living [02416]. Selah [05542].
6 The righteous [06662] also shall see [07200], and fear [03372], and shall laugh [07832] at him:
7 Lo, this is the man [01397] that made [07760] not God [0430] his strength [04581]; but trusted [0982] in the abundance [07230] of his riches [06239], and strengthened [05810] himself in his wickedness [01942].
8 But I am like a green [07488] olive tree [02132] in the house [01004] of God [0430]: I trust [0982] in the mercy [02617] of God [0430] for ever [05769] and ever [05703].
9 I will praise [03034] thee for ever [05769], because thou hast done [06213] it: and I will wait [06960] on thy name [08034]; for it is good [02896] before thy saints [02623].
22 Now consider [0995] this, ye that forget [07911] God [0433], lest I tear you in pieces [02963], and there be none to deliver [05337].
23 Whoso offereth [02076] praise [08426] glorifieth [03513] me: and to him that ordereth [07760] his conversation [01870] aright will I shew [07200] the salvation [03468] of God [0430].
15 Let them be desolate [08074] for a reward [06118] of their shame [01322] that say [0559] unto me, Aha [01889], aha [01889].
16 Let all those that seek [01245] thee rejoice [07797] and be glad [08055] in thee: let such as love [0157] thy salvation [08668] say [0559] continually [08548], The LORD [03068] be magnified [01431].
17 But I am poor [06041] and needy [034]; yet the Lord [0136] thinketh [02803] upon me: thou art my help [05833] and my deliverer [06403]; make no tarrying [0309], O my God [0430].
38 But the transgressors [06586] shall be destroyed [08045] together [03162]: the end [0319] of the wicked [07563] shall be cut off [03772].
39 But the salvation [08668] of the righteous [06662] is of the LORD [03068]: he is their strength [04581] in the time [06256] of trouble [06869].
40 And the LORD [03068] shall help [05826] them, and deliver [06403] them: he shall deliver [06403] them from the wicked [07563], and save [03467] them, because they trust [02620] in him.
10 O continue [04900] thy lovingkindness [02617] unto them that know [03045] thee; and thy righteousness [06666] to the upright [03477] in heart [03820].
11 Let not the foot [07272] of pride [01346] come [0935] against me, and let not the hand [03027] of the wicked [07563] remove [05110] me.
12 There are the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] fallen [05307]: they are cast down [01760], and shall not be able [03201] to rise [06965].
26 Let them be ashamed [0954] and brought to confusion [02659] together [03162] that rejoice [08056] at mine hurt [07451]: let them be clothed [03847] with shame [01322] and dishonour [03639] that magnify [01431] themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy [07442], and be glad [08055], that favour [02655] my righteous cause [06664]: yea, let them say [0559] continually [08548], Let the LORD [03068] be magnified [01431], which hath pleasure [02655] in the prosperity [07965] of his servant [05650].
28 And my tongue [03956] shall speak [01897] of thy righteousness [06664] and of thy praise [08416] all the day [03117] long.
21 Evil [07451] shall slay [04191] the wicked [07563]: and they that hate [08130] the righteous [06662] shall be desolate [0816].
22 The LORD [03068] redeemeth [06299] the soul [05315] of his servants [05650]: and none of them that trust [02620] in him shall be desolate [0816].
10 Many [07227] sorrows [04341] shall be to the wicked [07563]: but he that trusteth [0982] in the LORD [03068], mercy [02617] shall compass [05437] him about.
11 Be glad [08055] in the LORD [03068], and rejoice [01523], ye righteous [06662]: and shout [07442] for joy, all ye that are upright [03477] in heart [03820].
23 O love [0157] the LORD [03068], all ye his saints [02623]: for the LORD [03068] preserveth [05341] the faithful [0539], and plentifully [03499] rewardeth [07999] the proud [01346] doer [06213].
9 Gather [0622] not my soul [05315] with sinners [02400], nor my life [02416] with bloody [01818] men [0582]:
10 In whose hands [03027] is mischief [02154], and their right hand [03225] is full [04390] of bribes [07810].
11 But as for me, I will walk [03212] in mine integrity [08537]: redeem [06299] me, and be merciful [02603] unto me.
12 My foot [07272] standeth [05975] in an even place [04334]: in the congregations [04721] will I bless [01288] the LORD [03068].
8 They are brought down [03766] and fallen [05307]: but we are risen [06965], and stand upright [05749].
13 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068], disappoint [06923] him [06440], cast him down [03766]: deliver [06403] my soul [05315] from the wicked [07563], which is thy sword [02719]:
14 From men [04962] which are thy hand [03027], O LORD [03068], from men [04962] of the world [02465], which have their portion [02506] in this life [02416], and whose belly [0990] thou fillest [04390] with thy hid [06840] treasure: they are full [07646] of children [01121], and leave [03240] the rest [03499] of their substance to their babes [05768].
15 As for me, I will behold [02372] thy face [06440] in righteousness [06664]: I shall be satisfied [07646], when I awake [06974], with thy likeness [08544].
6 Upon the wicked [07563] he shall rain [04305] snares [06341], fire [0784] and brimstone [01614], and an horrible [02152] tempest [07307]: this shall be the portion [04521] of their cup [03563].
7 For the righteous [06662] LORD [03068] loveth [0157] righteousness [06666]; his countenance [06440] doth behold [02372] the upright [03477].
16 The LORD [03068] is King [04428] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]: the heathen [01471] are perished [06] out of his land [0776].
17 LORD [03068], thou hast heard [08085] the desire [08378] of the humble [06035]: thou wilt prepare [03559] their heart [03820], thou wilt cause thine ear [0241] to hear [07181]:
18 To judge [08199] the fatherless [03490] and the oppressed [01790], that the man [0582] of the earth [0776] may no more [03254] oppress [06206].
17 The wicked [07563] shall be turned [07725] into hell [07585], and all the nations [01471] that forget [07913] God [0430].
18 For the needy [034] shall not alway [05331] be forgotten [07911]: the expectation [08615] of the poor [06041] [06035] shall not perish [06] for ever [05703].
19 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068]; let not man [0582] prevail [05810]: let the heathen [01471] be judged [08199] in thy sight [06440].
20 Put [07896] them in fear [04172] [04172], O LORD [03068]: that the nations [01471] may know [03045] themselves to be but men [0582]. Selah [05542].
16 His mischief [05999] shall return [07725] upon his own head [07218], and his violent [02555] dealing shall come down [03381] upon his own pate [06936].
17 I will praise [03034] the LORD [03068] according to his righteousness [06664]: and will sing praise [02167] to the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] most high [05945].
8 Depart [05493] from me, all ye workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]; for the LORD [03068] hath heard [08085] the voice [06963] of my weeping [01065].
9 The LORD [03068] hath heard [08085] my supplication [08467]; the LORD [03068] will receive [03947] my prayer [08605].
10 Let all mine enemies [0341] be ashamed [0954] and sore [03966] vexed [0926]: let them return [07725] and be ashamed [0954] suddenly [07281].
10 Destroy [0816] thou them, O God [0430]; let them fall [05307] by their own counsels [04156]; cast them out [05080] in the multitude [07230] of their transgressions [06588]; for they have rebelled [04784] against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust [02620] in thee rejoice [08055]: let them ever [05769] shout for joy [07442], because thou defendest [05526] them: let them also that love [0157] thy name [08034] be joyful [05970] in thee.
12 For thou, LORD [03068], wilt bless [01288] the righteous [06662]; with favour [07522] wilt thou compass [05849] him as with a shield [06793].
7 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068]; save [03467] me, O my God [0430]: for thou hast smitten [05221] all mine enemies [0341] upon the cheek bone [03895]; thou hast broken [07665] the teeth [08127] of the ungodly [07563].
8 Salvation [03444] belongeth unto the LORD [03068]: thy blessing [01293] is upon thy people [05971]. Selah [05542].
12 Kiss [05401] the Son [01248], lest he be angry [0599], and ye perish [06] from the way [01870], when his wrath [0639] is kindled [01197] but a little [04592]. Blessed [0835] are all they that put their trust [02620] in him.
6 For the LORD [03068] knoweth [03045] the way [01870] of the righteous [06662]: but the way [01870] of the ungodly [07563] shall perish [06].
28 So [3779] Christ [5547] was once [530] offered [4374] to [1519] bear [399] the sins [266] of many [4183]; and unto them that look [553] for him [846] shall he appear [3700] [1537] the second time [1208] without [5565] sin [266] unto [1519] salvation [4991].
78 Through [1223] the tender [4698] mercy [1656] of our [2257] God [2316]; whereby [1722] [3739] the dayspring [395] from [1537] on high [5311] hath visited [1980] us [2248],
79 To give light [2014] to them that sit [2521] in [1722] darkness [4655] and [2532] in the shadow [4639] of death [2288], to guide [2720] our [2257] feet [4228] into [1519] the way [3598] of peace [1515].
76 And [2532] thou [4771], child [3813], shalt be called [2564] the prophet [4396] of the Highest [5310]: for [1063] thou shalt go [4313] before [4253] the face [4383] of the Lord [2962] to prepare [2090] his [846] ways [3598];
19 The sun [08121] shall be no more thy light [0216] by day [03119]; neither for brightness [05051] shall the moon [03394] give light [0216] unto thee: but the LORD [03068] shall be unto thee an everlasting [05769] light [0215], and thy God [0430] thy glory [08597].
20 Thy sun [08121] shall no more go down [0935]; neither shall thy moon [03391] withdraw [0622] itself: for the LORD [03068] shall be thine everlasting [05769] light [0216], and the days [03117] of thy mourning [060] shall be ended [07999].
11 For the LORD [03068] God [0430] is a sun [08121] and shield [04043]: the LORD [03068] will give [05414] grace [02580] and glory [03519]: no good [02896] thing will he withhold [04513] from them that walk [01980] uprightly [08549].
16 And God [0430] made [06213] two [08147] great [01419] lights [03974]; the greater [01419] light [03974] to rule [04475] the day [03117], and the lesser [06996] light [03974] to rule [04475] the night [03915]: he made the stars [03556] also.
9 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is clean [02889], enduring [05975] for ever [05703]: the judgments [04941] of the LORD [03068] are true [0571] and righteous [06663] altogether [03162].
9 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is clean [02889], enduring [05975] for ever [05703]: the judgments [04941] of the LORD [03068] are true [0571] and righteous [06663] altogether [03162].
