Psalm 25

Prayer for Guidance and for Deliverance

Of David.

1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.(A)
2 O my God, in you I trust;
    do not let me be put to shame;
    do not let my enemies exult over me.(B)
3 Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
    let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.(C)

4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.(D)
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all day long.(E)

6 Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
    for they have been from of old.(F)
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
    according to your steadfast love remember me,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!(G)

8 Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs sinners in the way.(H)
9 He leads the humble in what is right
    and teaches the humble his way.(I)
10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
    for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.(J)

Leviticus 19:1-4

Ritual and Moral Holiness

19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Speak to all the congregation of the Israelites and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.(A) 3 You shall each revere your mother and father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.(B) 4 Do not turn to idols or make cast images for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.(C)

Leviticus 19:32-37

32 “You shall rise before the aged and defer to the old, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.

33 “When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien.(A) 34 The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the native-born among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.(B)

35 “You shall not cheat in measuring length, weight, or quantity. 36 You shall have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 You shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances and observe them: I am the Lord.”

John 3:16-21

16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.(A)

17 “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him.(B) 18 Those who believe in him are not condemned, but those who do not believe are condemned already because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.(C) 19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.(D) 20 For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.(E) 21 But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.”[a](F)
