A Prayer of David.
1 ¶ Hear righteousness, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that does not go out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold uprightness.
3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast refined me and hast found no iniquity; that which I thought did not pass through my mouth.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have observed the ways of the violent.
5 Sustain my steps in thy ways that my footsteps not slip.
6 I have called upon thee, because thou dost hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me and hear my speech.
7 Show thy mercy to be marvellous, O Saviour of those who put their trust in thee, from those that rise up against thy right hand.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness.
43 ¶ But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Do not fear, for I have redeemed thee, I have named thee; Thou art mine.
2 When thou dost pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou dost walk through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Keeper; I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Because thou wast precious in my sight, thou wast worthy of honour, and I have loved thee.
5 Do not fear; for I am with thee: I will bring thy generation from the east and gather thee from the west;
6 I will say to the north wind, Give up, and to the south, Do not keep back; bring my sons from far and my daughters from the ends of the earth
7 even every one that is called by my name, for I have created them for my glory; I have formed them; yea, I have made them.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him and said, I have mercy on the multitude because they persevere with me now three days and have nothing to eat, and I desire not to send them away fasting lest they faint in the way.
33 Then his disciples say unto him, From where do we have so much bread in the wilderness as to satisfy so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they all ate and were filled, and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets full.
38 And those that ate were four thousand men besides women and children.
39 And he sent away the multitude and took ship and came into the borders of Magdala.
