Broken KJV


1 Samuel 2:1-11 And Han'-nah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

There is none holy as the LORD;  for there is none beside the; neither is there any rock like our God.

Talk no more so exceedingly proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

The bows of the mighty men are broken; and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased; so that the barren have born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

The LORD killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich; he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

He will keep the feet of the saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them; the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

And El-ka'-nah went to Ra'-mah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before E'-li the priest.

Nehemiah 1:1-11 The words of Ne-hem-i'-ah the son of Hach-a-li'ah. And it came to pass in the month Chis'-leu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shu'-shan the palace.

That Ha-na'-ni, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Ju'-dah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Je-ru'-sa-lem.

And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach; the wall of Je'-ru'-sa-lem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven.

And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments;

Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Is'-ra-el thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Is'-ra-el, which we have sinned against thee; both I and my father's  house have sinned.

We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Mo'-ses.

Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Mo'-ses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations;

But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet I will gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.

O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name; and prosper. I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man, For I was the king's cupbearer.

Psalm 6:1-10 O LORD. rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak; O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

My soul is also sore vexed; but thou, O LORD, how long?

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Mine eyes is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed; let them return and me ashamed suddenly.
