1 Chronicles 6:37

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your commandments.

When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah didn’t die.

Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

“Yahweh’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.

until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.”

Rejoice, you nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will take vengeance on his adversaries, and will make atonement for his land and for his people.

Gideon said to him, “Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, ‘Didn’t Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”

Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

Yahweh says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.

I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

“Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for my holy name.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

“ ‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.

The sons of Kohath: Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir his son,

this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to Yahweh his God’s hand on him.

You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.

My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.

Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.

Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.

“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, all of Korah’s men, and all their goods.

Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent. Their fathers had been over Yahweh’s camp, keepers of the entry.

For the divisions of the doorkeepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.

“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.

Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!

How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!

Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.

Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.

Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.

Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.

Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘Yahweh bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’

Tell your children about it, and have your children tell their children, and their children, another generation.

Then Yahweh was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people.

Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.

Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.

Therefore Yahweh says: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and a line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Armies.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
