33:27 The everlasting God is a refuge,
and underneath you are his eternal arms; 1
he has driven out enemies before you,
and has said, “Destroy!”
90:2 Even before the mountains came into existence, 2
or you brought the world into being, 3
you were the eternal God. 4
93:2 Your throne has been secure from ancient times;
you have always been king. 5
40:28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is an eternal God,
the creator of the whole earth. 6
He does not get tired or weary;
there is no limit to his wisdom. 7
57:15 For this is what the high and exalted one says,
the one who rules 8 forever, whose name is holy:
“I dwell in an exalted and holy place,
but also with the discouraged and humiliated, 9
in order to cheer up the humiliated
and to encourage the discouraged. 10
5:19 But you, O Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures from generation to generation.
5:2 (5:1) As for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, 11
seemingly insignificant 12 among the clans of Judah –
from you a king will emerge who will rule over Israel on my behalf, 13
one whose origins 14 are in the distant past. 15
5:1 (4:14) 16 But now slash yourself, 17 daughter surrounded by soldiers! 18
We are besieged!
With a scepter 19 they strike Israel’s ruler 20
on the side of his face.
1:1 From Paul, 21 a slave 22 of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith 23 of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,
1:10 And,
“You founded the earth in the beginning, Lord, 24
and the heavens are the works of your hands.
1:11 They will perish, but you continue.
And they will all grow old like a garment,
1:12 and like a robe you will fold them up
and like a garment 25 they will be changed,
but you are the same and your years will never run out.” 26
1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” 27 says the Lord God – the one who is, and who was, and who is still to come – the All-Powerful! 28
