MEM
97 Oh how love I Your Law! It is my meditation continually.
98 By Your Commandments You have made me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me.
99 I have had more understanding than all my teachers, for Your Testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understood more than the aged, because I kept Your Precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your Word.
102 I have not turned away from Your Judgments, for You have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your promises to my mouth; yea, more than honey to my mouth!
104 By Your Precepts I have gotten understanding. Therefore, I hate all the ways of falsehood.
NUN
105 Your Word is a lantern to my feet, and a light to my paths.
106 I have sworn and will perform it, that I will keep Your righteous Judgments.
107 I am very afflicted, O LORD. Quicken me according to Your Word.
108 O LORD, I beg you, accept the free offering of my mouth and teach me Your Judgments.
109 My life is continually in my hand. Yet, I do not forget Your Law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not swerve from Your Precepts.
111 I have inherited Your Testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have extended my heart to fulfill Your Statutes always, even to the end.
SAMECH
113 I hate doublemindedness. But Your Law do I love.
114 You are my refuge and shield, and I trust in Your Word.
115 Away from me, you wicked, for I will keep the Commandments of my God.
116 Establish me according to Your Promise, that I may live. And do not disappoint my hope.
117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe; and I will delight continually in Your Statutes.
118 You have rejected all those who depart from Your Statutes, for their deceit is useless.
119 You have taken away all the wicked of the Earth like dross, therefore I love Your Testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles for the fear of You, and I am afraid of Your Judgments.

9 And David said, “Is there any man still left of the House of Saul on whom I may show mercy for Jonathan’s sake?”
2 And there was, of the household of Saul, a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.”
3 Then the King said, “Is there no one left of the House of Saul on whom I may show the mercy of God?” Ziba then answered the king, “Jonathan still has a son who is lame in his feet.”
4 Then the king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo Debar.”
5 Then king David sent and took him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo Debar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and did reverence. And David said, “Mephibosheth?” And he answered, “Behold your servant.”
7 Then David said to him, “Do not fear. For I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore all the fields of Saul, your father, to you. And you shall eat bread at my table continually.”
8 And he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you would look upon such a dead dog as I am?”
9 Then the king called Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, “I have given your master’s son all that belonged to Saul and to all his House.
10 “You, therefore, and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him and bring in, so that your master’s son may have food to eat. And Mephibosheth, your master’s son, shall eat bread always at my table (now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants).
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so shall your servant do, so that Mephibosheth may eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.”
12 Mephibosheth also had a young son named Micha. And all who dwelled in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
13 And Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem. For he ate continually at the king’s table and was lame in both his feet.
19 And it so happened (while Apollos was at Corinth) that Paul, when he passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found some disciples,
2 and said to them, “Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?” And they said to him, “We have not even heard whether there is a Holy Ghost.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what were you baptized then?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, “Truly, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in Him Who should come after him; that is, in Christ Jesus.”
5 And when they heard it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
6 So Paul laid his hands upon them, and the Holy Ghost came on them, and they spoke the tongues, and prophesied.
7 And there were, in all, about twelve men.
8 Moreover, he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, disputing and persuading in things concerning the Kingdom of God.
9 But when some were hardened and disobeyed, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he left them; and separated the disciples, and disputed daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10 And this was done for two years. So that all those who dwelt in Asia heard the Word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
34 And He called the people to Him, with His disciples, and said to them, “Whoever will follow Me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
35 “For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever shall lose his life, for My sake, and the Gospel’s, shall save it.
36 “For what shall it profit a man, though he should win the whole world, if he loses his soul?
37 “Or what shall a man exchange for his soul?
38 “For whoever among this adulterous and sinful generation shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the Glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
9 And He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there are some of those who stand here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power.”
