Psalm 25

25 Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul;

O my God, I trust in Thee. Let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, let none that wait on Thee be ashamed; let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.

Show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.

Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.

Remember, O Lord, Thy tender mercies and Thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He teach sinners in the way.

The meek will He guide in judgment, and the meek will He teach His way.

10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, unto them that keep His covenant and His testimonies.

11 For Thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn Thee unto me and have mercy upon me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain, and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many; they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in Thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait on Thee.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles!

Psalm 9

I will praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all Thy marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Thou Most High.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at Thy presence.

For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest on the throne judging right.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, Thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and Thou hast destroyed their cities; their memorial is perished with them.

But the Lord shall endure for ever; He hath prepared His throne for judgment.

And He shall judge the world with righteousness; He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwelleth in Zion! Declare among the people His doings.

12 When He maketh inquisition for blood, He remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord! Consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death,

14 that I may show forth all Thy praise at the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Thy salvation.

15 The heathen have sunk down into the pit that they made; in the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

16 The Lord is known by the judgment which He executeth; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail; let the heathen be judged in Thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord; that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah

Psalm 15

15 Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in Thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart;

he that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor spreadeth a reproach against his neighbor;

in whose eyes a vile person is contemned, but he honoreth them that fear the Lord; he that taketh an oath to his own hurt, and changeth not;

he that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh a bribe against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Amos 7:1-9

Thus hath the Lord God shown unto me: And behold, He formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.

And it came to pass, when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, “O Lord God, forgive, I beseech Thee! By whom shall Jacob arise? For he is small.”

The Lord repented concerning this. “It shall not be,” saith the Lord.

Thus hath the Lord God shown unto me: And behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep and ate up a part.

Then said I, “O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee! By whom shall Jacob arise? For he is small.”

The Lord repented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” saith the Lord God.

Thus He showed me: And behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.

And the Lord said unto me, “Amos, what seest thou?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then said the Lord, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”

Revelation 1:1-8

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass. And He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John,

who bore record of the Word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand.

John, To the seven churches in Asia: Grace be unto you and peace from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before His throne;

and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first-begotten of the dead, and the prince over the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

and hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also who pierced Him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so. Amen.

I Am Alpha And Omega, The Beginning And The Ending,” saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

Matthew 22:23-33

23 The same day the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

24 saying, “Master, Moses said, ‘If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.’

25 Now there were with us seven brethren. And the first, when he had married a wife, died; and having no issue, he left his wife unto his brother.

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

27 And last of all, the woman died also.

28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, “Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in Heaven.

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at His doctrine.
