Psalm 119:105-112

English Standard Version

Nun

¹⁰⁵^(A)Your word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light to my path.
¹⁰⁶I have ^(B)sworn an oath and confirmed it,
    to keep your ^(C)righteous rules.
¹⁰⁷I am severely ^(D)afflicted;
    ^(E)give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
¹⁰⁸Accept ^(F)my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
    and ^(G)teach me your rules.
¹⁰⁹I hold my life ^(H)in my hand continually,
    but I do not ^(I)forget your law.
¹¹⁰The wicked have laid ^(J)a snare for me,
    but ^(K)I do not stray from your precepts.
¹¹¹Your testimonies are ^(L)my heritage forever,
    for they are ^(M)the joy of my heart.
¹¹²I ^(N)incline my heart to perform your statutes
    forever, ^(O)to the end.^[a]

The Burning Bush

3 Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the ^(A)mountain of God. ²^(B)And ^(C)the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. ³And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” ⁴When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, ^(D)God called to him ^(E)out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” ⁵Then he said, “Do not come near; ^(F)take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” ⁶And he said, ^(G)“I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for ^(H)he was afraid to look at God.

God's Judgment and the Law

¹²For all who have sinned ^(A)without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. ¹³For ^(B)it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. ¹⁴For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, ^(C)by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. ¹⁵They show that the work of the law is ^(D)written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them ¹⁶^(E)on that day when, ^(F)according to my gospel, God judges ^(G)the secrets of men ^(H)by Christ Jesus.
