Psalm 25

[A Psalm] of David.

25 Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.

Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.

Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:

The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.

10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.

13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.

16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;

18 Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.

20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I 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

To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.

I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.

Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O enemy! destructions are ended for ever.—Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.

But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.

And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.

10 And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.

12 For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.

13 Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

14 That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.

15 The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.

16 Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

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

18 For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.

19 Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalm 15

A Psalm of David.

15 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

[He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;

In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;

[He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.

Revelation 7:1-8

And after this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.

And I saw another angel ascending from [the] sunrising, having [the] seal of [the] living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been given to hurt the earth and the sea,

saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the bondmen of our God upon their foreheads.

And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred [and] forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of [the] sons of Israel:

out of [the] tribe of Juda, twelve thousand sealed; out of [the] tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;

out of [the] tribe of Aser, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Nepthalim, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand;

out of [the] tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand;

out of [the] tribe of Zabulun, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed.

Luke 9:51-62

51 And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that *he* stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

52 And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.

53 And they did not receive him, because his face was [turned as] going to Jerusalem.

54 And his disciples James and John seeing [it] said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak [that] fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?

55 But turning he rebuked them [and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are].

56 And they went to another village.

57 And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.

58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me to go first and bury my father.

60 But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do *thou* go and announce the kingdom of God.

61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.

62 But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on [the] plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
