Psalm 85

85 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

Psalm 87

87 By sons of Korah. -- A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.

I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.

Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This [one] was born there.' Selah.

Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!

The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age [is] His kindness.

10 To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age [is] His kindness.

11 And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age [is] His kindness.

12 By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age [is] His kindness.

25 Giving food to all flesh, For to the age [is] His kindness.

Exodus 3:1-12

And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb;

and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.

And Moses saith, `Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?'

and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith, `Moses, Moses;' and he saith, `Here [am] I.'

And He saith, `Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy ground.'

He saith also, `I [am] the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;' and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God.

And Jehovah saith, `I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey -- unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

`And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,

10 and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.'

11 And Moses saith unto God, `Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?'

12 and He saith, `Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt -- ye do serve God on this mount.'

Hebrews 11:23-31

23 By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king;

24 by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,

25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,

26 greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;

27 by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One -- he endured;

28 by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.

29 By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up;

30 by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days;

31 by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.

John 14:6-14

Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.'

Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'

Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

11 believe me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

12 `Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

13 and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

14 if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it].
