Psalm 119:41-48
VAU
41 And let thy loving kindness come unto
me, O Lord, and thy salvation according to
thy promise.
42 So shall I make answer unto my
blasphemers: for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly
out of my mouth: for I wait for thy
judgments.
44 So shall I always keep thy Law forever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy
precepts.
46 I will speak also of thy testimonies before
Kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And my delight shall be in thy Commandments,
which I have loved.
48 Mine hands also will I lift up unto thy Commandments,
which I have loved, and I will meditate
in thy statutes.
About 1599 Geneva Bible
The Geneva Bible is the Bible of “firsts”: It was the first Bible to qualify as a study Bible, providing readers with copious notes, cross-references, and commentary about the original manuscripts. It was the first Bible to be printed in a portable and affordable edition. And it was the first Bible to assign chapter and verse numbers, facilitating the location of passages, memorization, and recitation — and the nurture of a nation of Bible readers.
The Geneva Bible inspired those who championed self-government and civic virtue. Its mighty influence was manifest in the lives of Knox, Cromwell, and Shakespeare. And it was the 1599 Geneva Bible that the Pilgrims read as they arrived in the New World in 1620, deriving principles from its pages that helped lay the foundation-stones of liberty in the western hemisphere.
