Psalm 34

[A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

34 I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.

Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.

This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

12 What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth 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 Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;

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

17 [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:

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

21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.

22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.

Exodus 19:7-20

And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and laid before the mall these words which Jehovah had commanded him.

And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah has spoken will we do! And Moses brought the words of the people back to Jehovah.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I will come to thee in the cloud's thick darkness, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee also for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to Jehovah.

10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and hallow them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their clothes;

11 and let them be ready for the third day; for on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people on mount Sinai.

12 And set bounds round about the people, saying, Take heed to yourselves, [not] to go up unto the mountain nor touch the border of it: whatever toucheth the mountain shall certainly be put to death:

13 not a hand shall touch it, but it shall certainly be stoned, or shot through; whether it be a beast or a man, it shall not live. When the long drawn note of the trumpet soundeth, they shall come up to the mountain.

14 And Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and hallowed the people; and they washed their clothes.

15 And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day; do not come near [your] wives.

16 And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud; and the whole people that was in the camp trembled.

17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18 And the whole of mount Sinai smoked, because Jehovah descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace; and the whole mountain shook greatly.

19 And the sound of the trumpet increased and became exceeding loud; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

20 And Jehovah came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

Jude 17-25

17 But *ye*, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

18 that they said to you, that at [the] end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.

19 These are they who set [themselves] apart, natural [men], not having [the] Spirit.

20 But *ye*, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

21 keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And of some have compassion, making a difference,

23 but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

24 But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,

25 to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen.
