¹ And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

² And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

³ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

⁴ And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

⁵ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

⁷ And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

⁸ And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

¹¹ And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

¹² And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

¹³ And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

¹⁴ And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

¹⁶ And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

¹⁷ For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

¹ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

² My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

³ But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

⁴ Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.

⁵ They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

⁷ All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

⁸ "He trusts in Yahweh; let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."

⁹ But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust at my mother's breasts.

¹⁰ I was thrown on you from my mother's womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.

¹¹ Don't be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help.

¹² Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

¹³ They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.

¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

¹⁷ I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

¹⁸ They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.

¹⁹ But don't be far off, Yahweh. You are my help: hurry to help me.

²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.

²¹ Save me from the lion's mouth! Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.

²² I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly, I will praise you.

²³ You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

²⁴ For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

²⁵ Of you comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

²⁶ The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

²⁸ For the kingdom is Yahweh's. He is the ruler over the nations.

²⁹ All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can't keep his soul alive.

³⁰ Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.

³¹ They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it. A Psalm by David.
