1 Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s Elect and the acknowledging of the Truth which is according to godliness;
2 in the hope of eternal life - which God, Who cannot lie, has promised since before the world began.
3 But He has revealed His Word in due time through preaching, which is committed to me according to the Commandment of God our Savior,
4 To Titus, my natural son according to the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 For this reason I left you in Crete, so that you would continue to organize the things which remain, and would ordain elders in every city, as I directed you
6 (if any are blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children who are not accused of wastefulness or disobedient).
7 For an overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not willful, not angry, not given to wine, not a brawler, not greedy;
8 but one who loves strangers and goodness, is wise, righteous, holy, temperate,
9 holding fast the faithful Word according to doctrine, so that he may also be able to encourage with sound doctrine and convince those who speak against it.
10 For there are many disobedient and empty talkers, and deceivers of minds (mainly those of the circumcision)
11 whose mouths must be stopped; who subvert whole houses, teaching things they ought not for the sake of dishonest gain.
12 One of them (one of their own Prophets) said, “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13 This witness is true! Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith
14 and not holding onto Jewish fables and commandments of men which turn away from the Truth.
15 To the pure, are all things pure. But, to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. But even their minds and consciences are defiled.
16 They profess that they know God, but by works they deny Him and are abominable and disobedient and worthless as to every good work.
8 “Set the trumpet to your mouth! He shall come as an eagle against the House of the LORD, because they have transgressed My Covenant and trespassed against My Law.
2 “Israel shall cry to Me, ‘My God, we know You!’
3 “Israel has cast off the thing that is good. The enemy shall pursue him.
4 “They have set up a king, but not by Me. They have made princes, and I did not know it. They have made themselves idols from their silver and their gold. Therefore, they shall be destroyed.
5 “Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. How long will they be without innocence!
6 “For it came from Israel. The workman made it. Therefore, it is not God. But the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. It has no stalk. The bud shall bring forth no meal. If it is brought forth, the strangers shall devour it.
8 “Israel is devoured! They shall now be among the Gentiles, as a vessel in which there is no pleasure.
9 “For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey, alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 “Yet, although they have hired among the nations, I will now gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king and the princes.
11 “Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, his altars shall be for sin.
12 “I have written the great things of My Law for them, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 “They sacrifice flesh for the Sacrifices of My Offerings and eat it. The LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and visit their sins. They shall return to Egypt.
14 “For Israel has forgotten his maker and builds temples. And Judah has increased strong cities. But I will send a fire upon his cities. And it shall devour its palaces.”
123 I lift up my eyes to You Who dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God until He has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD! Have mercy on us; for we have suffered too much contempt.
4 Our soul is filled too full with the mocking of the wealthy and the contempt of the proud. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of David
124 If the LORD had not been on our side, (may Israel now say)
2 If the LORD had not been on our side when men rose up against us,
3 they would have swallowed us up quickly when their wrath was kindled against us.
4 Then, the waters had drowned us; the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then, the swelling waters had gone over our soul.
6 Praise the LORD, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth!
7 Our soul has escaped, even as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the Name of the LORD, Who has made Heaven and Earth. A song of degrees
125 Those who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed but remains forever.
2 As the mountains are around Jerusalem, so the LORD is around His people from henceforth and forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put forth their hand to wickedness.
4 Do well, O LORD, to those who are good and true in their hearts.
5 But those who turn aside by their crooked ways, they shall be led by the LORD with the workers of iniquity. Peace upon Israel! A song of degrees, or Psalm, of David
