Psalm 97

97 Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.

Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.

His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.

Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.

Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

10 Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.

Exodus 33:1-6

33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it,

(and I will send an angel before thee, and dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,)

into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people,—lest I consume thee on the way.

And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.

Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.

And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb.

Philippians 3:13-4:1

13 Brethren, *I* do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing—forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

15 As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.

17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;

18 (for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they [are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)

20 for *our* commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,

21 who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.

So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in [the] Lord, beloved.
