people

All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king’s damage.

For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.

No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.

He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;

And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
