Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Who among you fears Jehovah? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rest on his God.

Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you would build for Me? And where is the place of My rest?

For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one will I have regard: To the lowly and contrite of spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word.

And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.

Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the Word of this salvation is sent.

And the nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.

And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, like the tender grass springing out of the earth, by clear shining after rain.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. Neginoth. A Psalm. A Song.] i0 par God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us. Selah.

For Jehovah God is a sun and shield; Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk in integrity.

But the path of the just is as the brightness of dawn, that keeps getting brighter until it is fully daytime.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light has shined.

And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the breach of His people and heals the stroke of their wound.

And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.

Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen upon you.

And the nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawning.

Then we shall know, we who follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great Light, and upon those sitting in the region and shadow of death, Light has sprung up.

through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;

a Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.

It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one is able to work.

Then Jesus said to them, A little while longer the Light is with you. Walk while you have the Light, that darkness not overtake you; for he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the Light, believe into the Light, that you may become sons of Light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes, that they should not understand with their hearts and be turned, and I should heal them.

For thus the Lord has commanded us: I have set you as a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

and I will give him the Morning Star.

I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you, to the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.

Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases,

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off, and to him who is near, says Jehovah; and I will heal him.

Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed, save me, and I shall be saved; for You are my praise.

Behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them and will show them the abundance of peace and truth.

And along the banks of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.

Come, and let us return to Jehovah. For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has stricken, and He will bind us up.

I will heal their backslidings; I will love them freely; for My anger has turned away from him.

May Jehovah reward your work, and full wages be given you by Jehovah the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her, how often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fat and luxuriant;

that You may say to the prisoners, Go out! To those who are in darkness, Show yourselves! They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be on all the barren heights.

They shall not hunger nor thirst; nor shall the heat nor sun strike them; for He who has mercy on them will lead them; even by the springs of water He will guide them.

For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into praise, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Instead of the thorn, the fir tree shall come up; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree shall come up; and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for a perpetual sign that shall not be cut off.

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way; they shall not stumble in it, for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.

For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of the one stronger than him.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily and thrust forth his roots like Lebanon.

They who live under his shadow shall return; they shall live like the grain, and blossom like the vine; their remembrance shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
