Psalm 51

51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness; according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.

Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned and done this evil in Thy sight, that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest.

Behold, I was shaped in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, Thou desirest truth in my inward parts; in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.

Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.

16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

18 Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.

Deuteronomy 28:58-29:1

58 “If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord Thy God,

59 then the Lord will make thy plagues wondrous, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

60 Moreover He will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou wast afraid of, and they shall cleave unto thee.

61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee until thou be destroyed.

62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God.

63 “And it shall come to pass that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest; but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of mind.

66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have no assurance of thy life.

67 In the morning thou shalt say, ‘Would God it were evening!’ and at evening thou shalt say, ‘Would God it were morning!’ for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships by the way whereof I spoke unto thee, ‘Thou shalt see it no more again.’ And there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.”

29 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

Acts 7:17-29

17 “But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

18 until another king arose who knew not Joseph.

19 The same dealt craftily with our kindred and illtreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end that they might not live.

20 At that time Moses was born and was exceedingly fair, and was nourished in his father’s house three months.

21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and nourished him as her own son.

22 And Moses became learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

23 “And when he was fully forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.

24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian,

25 for he supposed his brethren would have understood how God, by his hand, would deliver them; but they understood not.

26 And the next day he showed himself unto them as they were quarreling, and would have set them at one again, saying, ‘Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?’

27 But he that was doing his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, ‘Who made thee a ruler and judge over us?

28 Wilt thou kill me as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday?’

29 Then Moses fled at this saying and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
