Touch the Throne

by

Samuel

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought ag ain  the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur.

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel:

And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people:

and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me.

Yet thou hast said,

I know thee by name,

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth;

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight,

shew me now thy way,

that I may know thee,

that I may find grace in thy sight:

and consider that this nation is thy people.

for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight?

 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name:

and he called his name Israel.

And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it,

and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.                                                                                                   

                                

And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God;  walk before me, and be thou perfect.

The law of the LORD is perfect,

And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
