23 But David did not take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said that He would increase Israel like the stars of the heavens.
24 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, began a census. But he did not finish it, because there came wrath against Israel because of it. Nor was the census put into the Chronicles of King David.

13 For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if those who are of the Law are heirs, then faith is made void, and the promise is made to no effect.
15 For the Law causes wrath. For where there is no Law, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore, it is by faith, so that it might come by grace (and the promise might be a surety) to all the seed; not only to that which is of the Law, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the Father of us all,
17 (as it is written: “I have made you a Father of many nations.”) before God, Whom he believed, Who quickens the dead, and calls those things which are not as though they were;
18 which Abraham, hoping against all hope, believed. So that he should be the Father of many nations, according to that which was spoken to him, “So shall your seed be.”
19 And he, not being weak in the faith, did not consider his own body, which was now dead (being almost a hundred years old), nor the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 Nor did he, through unbelief, doubt the promise of God. But he was strengthened in the faith. And gave glory to God,
21 being fully assured that He Who had promised, was also able to do it.
22 And therefore, it was counted to him as righteousness.
23 Now, it is not only written for him that it was counted to him as righteousness,
24 but it shall also be reckoned as righteousness for us who believe in Him Who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 Who was delivered for our sins. And is risen again for our justification.
5 Then, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 by Whom, through faith, we also have access into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God.
3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings forth patience
4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope.
5 And hope does not humiliate. Because the Holy Ghost, Who is given to us, drenches our hearts with the love of God.
14 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have corrupted; and done an abominable work. There is no one who does good.
2 The LORD looked down from Heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any who would understand, and seek God.
3 All have gone out of the way. They are all corrupt. There is no one who does good; no, not one.
4 Do not all the workers of iniquity know that they eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call upon the LORD.
5 There they shall be taken with fear, because God is in the generation of the just.
6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor. But the LORD is his refuge.
7 Oh, give salvation to Israel out of Zion. When the LORD turns the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad. Note that Psalm 14:5-7, which are put into the common translation (and may seem to some to be left out here) are not in the same Psalm in the Hebrew text. Rather, they are put in more fully to express the manners of the wicked. They are gathered out of Psalms 5, 10, 36, 140, and Isaiah 59. They are alleged by Saint Paul and placed together in Romans 3. A Psalm of David.
17 He who has mercy upon the poor, lends to the LORD. And the LORD will repay him that which he has given.
