The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 26

1: In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city;salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

2: Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

3: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

4: Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

5: For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

6: The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

7: The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

8: Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and tothe remembrance of thee.

9: With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, theinhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

10: Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

11: LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fireof thine enemies shall devour them.

12: LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

13: O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

14: They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

15: Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of theearth.

16: LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

17: Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.

18: We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19: Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out thedead.

20: Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21: For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover herslain.
