They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,

他们年老的时候仍要结果子，要满了汁浆而常发青，

他们发白的时候仍结果子，而且鲜美多汁，

他们发白的时候仍结果子，而且鲜美多汁，

他们到老仍然结果子，一片青翠，

他们年老的时候仍要结果子，经常保持茂盛青翠，

他们在年老时仍然结果实，他们丰美并且青翠，

他們年老的時候仍要結果子，要滿了汁漿而常發青，

他們髮白的時候仍結果子，而且鮮美多汁，

他們髮白的時候仍結果子，而且鮮美多汁，

他們到老仍然結果子，一片青翠，

他們年老的時候仍要結果子，經常保持茂盛青翠，

他們年老時仍然結果子；滿了汁漿、而長青翠，

他們在年老時仍然結果實，他們豐美並且青翠，

暮年猶結其實、汁滿而色青兮、

歷年雖久、結實依然、青青向榮兮、

雖老仍可興旺、依舊榮茂豐盛、

植根聖圃。霑漑化雨。

When they get old, they will still bear fruit. Like young trees they will stay fresh and strong.

They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,

Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.

They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green,

They will still yield fruit in advanced age; They will be full of sap and very green,

They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:

They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green,

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

They bear fruit even when they are old; they are filled with vitality and have many leaves.

They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ— to the glory and praise of God.

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.“ I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.

Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm— shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted— twice dead.

Then King David said to the whole assembly:“ My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God.With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God— gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble— all of these in large quantities.Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided for this holy temple:three thousand talents of gold( gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings,for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord today?”Then the leaders of families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.They gave toward the work on the temple of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze and a hundred thousand talents of iron.Anyone who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the temple of the Lord in the custody of Jehiel the Gershonite.The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,“ Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.“ But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you.And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, statutes and decrees and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.”Then David said to the whole assembly,“ Praise the Lord your God.” So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers; they bowed down, prostrating themselves before the Lord and the king.The next day they made sacrifices to the Lord and presented burnt offerings to him: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams and a thousand male lambs, together with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.They ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the Lord that day. Then they acknowledged Solomon son of David as king a second time, anointing him before the Lord to be ruler and Zadok to be priest.So Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king in place of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him.All the officers and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their submission to King Solomon.The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal splendor such as no king over Israel ever had before.David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.He ruled over Israel forty years— seven in Hebron and thirty- three in Jerusalem.He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king.As for the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, they are written in the records of Samuel the seer, the records of Nathan the prophet and the records of Gad the seer,together with the details of his reign and power, and the circumstances that surrounded him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.
