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.

Amos 7:1-9

Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

And it came to pass, when they had wholly eaten the grass of the land, that I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee! How shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

Jehovah repented for this: It shall not be, said Jehovah.

Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, the Lord Jehovah called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and ate up the inheritance.

Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee! How shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

Jehovah repented for this: This also shall not be, said the Lord Jehovah.

Thus did he shew unto me; and behold, the Lord stood upon a wall [made] by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.

And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb-line. And the Lord said, 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 desolated, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will arise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

Revelation 1:1-8

Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John,

who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.

Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near.

John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to 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, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,

and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen.

Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

Matthew 22:23-33

23 On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,

24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.

25 Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.

26 In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.

27 And last of all the woman also died.

28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?

29 And Jesus answering said to them, Ye 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 angels of God in heaven.

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 *I* am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.

33 And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.
