Greeting to the Seven Churches
4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from (A)him (B)who is and (C)who was and who is to come, and from (D)the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ (E)the faithful witness, (F)the firstborn of the dead, and (G)the ruler of kings on earth.
To (H)him who loves us and (I)has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us (J)a kingdom, (K)priests to (L)his God and Father, to him be (M)glory and (N)dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, (O)he is coming with the clouds, and (P)every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail[a] on account of him. Even so. Amen.
8 (Q)“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, (R)“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Psalm 139:1-12
English Standard Version
Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
139 O Lord, you have (A)searched me and known me!
2 You (B)know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you (C)discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, (D)you know it altogether.
5 You (E)hem me in, behind and before,
and (F)lay your hand upon me.
6 (G)Such knowledge is (H)too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 (I)Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where (J)shall I flee from your presence?
8 (K)If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
(L)If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall (M)lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, (N)“Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 (O)even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
Daniel 4:34-35
English Standard Version
Nebuchadnezzar Restored
34 (A)At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and (B)my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored (C)him who lives forever,
(D)for his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and (E)his kingdom endures from generation to generation;
35 (F)all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
and (G)he does according to his will among the host of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth;
(H)and none can stay his hand
or (I)say to him, “What have you done?”
Daniel 2:21-22
