Psalm 93

93 The Lord reigneth; He is clothed with majesty. The Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith He hath girded Himself. The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

Thy testimonies are very sure; holiness becometh Thine house, O Lord, for ever.

Psalm 96

96 O sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

Sing unto the Lord, bless His name; show forth His salvation from day to day.

Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people.

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people; give unto the Lord glory and strength.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; fear before Him, all the earth.

10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth; the world also shall be established, that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 before the Lord. For He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth; He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with His truth.

Psalm 34

34 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.

I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto Him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.

O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him!

O fear the Lord, ye His saints! For them that fear Him suffer no want.

10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.

21 Evil shall slay the wicked, and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of His servants, and none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate.

Revelation 15

15 And I saw another sign in Heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels holding the seven last plagues, for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

And I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mingled with fire, and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass and having the harps of God.

And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints!

Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou only art holy. For all nations shall come and worship before Thee, for Thy judgments are made manifest.”

And after that I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in Heaven was opened;

and the seven angels, having the seven plagues, came out of the temple, clothed in pure and white linen and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

And one of the four living beings gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no man was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Matthew 18:1-14

18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them,

and said, “Verily I say unto you, unless ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name, receiveth Me.

But whoso shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to fall, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

“Woe unto the world because of offenses! For it must happen that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.

Therefore if thy hand or thy foot cause thee to fall, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

And if thine eye cause thee to fall, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.

10 “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you that in Heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father who is in Heaven.

11 “For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost.

12 How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains and seeketh that which is gone astray?

13 And if it so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more over that sheep than over the ninety and nine which went not astray.

14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
