“ Lord, may all your enemies be destroyed. But may all who love you be like the morning sun. May they be like the sun when it shines the brightest.” So the land was at peace for 40 years.

耶和华啊，愿你的仇敌都这样灭亡！愿爱你的人如日头出现，光辉烈烈！”这样，国中太平四十年。

“ So may all your enemies perish, Lord! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had peace forty years.

“ So may all your enemies perish, O Lord! But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.” And the land had rest for forty years.

“ Lord, may all your enemies die like Sisera! But may those who love you rise like the sun in all its power!” Then there was peace in the land for forty years.

LORD, may all your enemies perish as Sisera did. But may those who love him be like the rising of the sun in its strength. And the land had peace for forty years.

May all Your enemies perish in this way, Lord; But may those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might.” And the land was at rest for forty years.

“ Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But let those who love Him be like the sun When it comes out in full strength.” So the land had rest for forty years.

So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah: But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

Lord, may all your enemies perish as Sisera did. But may those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its strength. And the land was peaceful 40 years.

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but[ let] them that love him[ be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

May all your enemies perish like this, O LORD! But may those who love you shine like the rising sun at its brightest!” And the land had rest for forty years.

“ So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.

Then he will be like the light of morning at sunrise when there aren’t any clouds. He will be like the bright sun after rain that makes grass grow on the earth.’

Yet their voice goes out into the whole earth. Their words go out from one end of the world to the other. God has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun.The sun is like a groom leaving the room of his wedding night. The sun is like a great runner who takes delight in running a race.

He will make the reward for your godly life shine like the dawn. He will make the proof of your honest life shine like the sun at noon.

But whoever loves God is known by God.

Blessed is the person who keeps on going when times are hard. After they have come through hard times, this person will receive a crown. The crown is life itself. The Lord has promised it to those who love him.

Even though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not see him now, you believe in him. You are filled with a glorious joy that can’t be put into words.

My dear brothers and sisters, listen to me. Hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world’s eyes to be rich in faith? Hasn’t he chosen them to receive the kingdom? Hasn’t he promised it to those who love him?

Then God’s people will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Whoever has ears should listen.

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky. Those who lead many others to do what is right will be like the stars for ever and ever.

His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.

The Lord says,“ I will save the one who loves me. I will keep him safe, because he trusts in me.

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. He appointed them to be saved in keeping with his purpose.

So the land was at peace for 40 years. Then Othniel, the son of Kenaz, died.

Let those who love the Lord hate evil. He guards the lives of those who are faithful to him. He saves them from the power of sinful people.

Do to them what you did to the people of Midian. Do to them what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.Sisera and Jabin died near the town of Endor. Their bodies were left on the ground like human waste.Do to the nobles of your enemies what you did to Oreb and Zeeb. Do to all their princes what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.They said,“ Let’s take over the grasslands that belong to God.”My God, make them like straw that the wind blows away. Make them like tumbleweed.Destroy them as fire burns up a forest. Destroy them as a flame sets mountains on fire.Chase them with your mighty winds. Terrify them with your storm.Lord, put them to shame so that they will seek you.May they always be filled with terror and shame. May they die in dishonor.May you, the Lord, let your enemies know who you are. You alone are the Most High God over the whole earth.

Let’s recognize him as the Lord. Let’s keep trying to know him. You can be sure the sun will rise. And you can be just as sure the Lord will appear. He will come to renew us like the winter rains. He will be like the spring rains that water the earth.”

The path of those who do right is like the sun in the morning. It shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.

But for all time to come I show love to all those who love me and keep my commandments.

That day Moab was brought under the rule of Israel. So the land was at peace for 80 years.

Many kings joined forces. They entered Israel together.But when they saw Mount Zion, they were amazed. They ran away in terror.

Lord, your enemies will certainly die. All those who do evil will be scattered.

Godly people will be glad when those who have hurt them are paid back. They will dip their feet in the blood of those who do evil.Then people will say,“ The godly will get their reward. There really is a God who judges the earth.”

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength.

May God rise up and scatter his enemies. May they turn and run away from him.May you, God, blow them away like smoke. As fire melts wax, so may God destroy sinful people.But may those who do what is right be glad and filled with joy when they are with him. May they be happy and joyful.

Zion hears about it and is filled with joy. Lord, the villages of Judah are glad because of how you judge.

“ You heavens, be glad for this! You people of God, be glad! You apostles and prophets, be glad! God has judged her with the judgment she gave to you.”

Here is how we know that we love God’s children. We know it when we love God and obey his commands.In fact, here is what it means to love God. We love him by obeying his commands. And his commands are not hard to obey.

May grace be given to everyone who loves our Lord Jesus Christ with a love that will never die.

The way he judges is true and fair. He has judged the great prostitute. She made the earth impure with her terrible sins. God has paid her back for killing those who served him.”Again they shouted,“ Hallelujah! The smoke from her fire goes up for ever and ever.”

We love because he loved us first.Suppose someone claims to love God but hates a brother or sister. Then they are a liar. They don’t love their brother or sister, whom they have seen. So they can’t love God, whom they haven’t seen.Here is the command God has given us. Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

They called out in a loud voice.“ How long, Lord and King, holy and true?” they asked.“ How long will you wait to judge those who live on the earth? How long will it be until you pay them back for killing us?”
