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 Mountain of the Lord

2 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

²^(A)It shall come to pass in the latter days
    that ^(B)the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
    and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and ^(C)all the nations shall flow to it,
³    and ^(D)many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
    and that we may walk in his paths.”
For ^(E)out of Zion shall go forth the law,^[a]
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
⁴He shall judge between the nations,
    and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
^(F)and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
    and their spears into pruning hooks;
^(G)nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
    neither shall they learn war anymore.

Jesus Came to Save the World

⁴⁴And Jesus cried out and said, ^(A)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but ^(B)in him who sent me. ⁴⁵And ^(C)whoever ^(D)sees me sees him who sent me. ⁴⁶^(E)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷If anyone ^(F)hears my words and does not keep them, ^(G)I do not judge him; for ^(H)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. ⁴⁸^(I)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; ^(J)the word that I have spoken will judge him ^(K)on the last day. ⁴⁹For ^(L)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father ^(M)who sent me has himself given me ^(N)a commandment—what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”
