King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 119:129-160

129PE.
Thy testimonies are wonderful:
therefore doth my soul keep them.
130The entrance of thy words giveth light;
it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131I opened my mouth, and panted:
for I longed for thy commandments.
132Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133Order my steps in thy word:
and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134Deliver me from the oppression of man:
so will I keep thy precepts.
135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant;
and teach me thy statutes.
136Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
137TZADDI.
Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
138Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
139My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
140Thy word is very pure:
therefore thy servant loveth it.
141I am small and despised:
yet do not I forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me:
yet thy commandments are my delights.
144The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting:
give me understanding, and I shall live.
145KOPH.
I cried with my whole heart;
hear me, O LORD:
I will keep thy statutes.
146I cried unto thee;
save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried:
I hoped in thy word.
148Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:
O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
150They draw nigh that follow after mischief:
they are far from thy law.
151Thou art near, O LORD;
and all thy commandments are truth.
152Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
153RESH.
Consider mine affliction, and deliver me:
for I do not forget thy law.
154Plead my cause, and deliver me:
quicken me according to thy word.
155Salvation is far from the wicked:
for they seek not thy statutes.
156Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD:
quicken me according to thy judgments.
157Many are my persecutors and mine enemies;
yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved;
because they kept not thy word.
159Consider how I love thy precepts:
quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
160Thy word is true from the beginning:
and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

2 John 1:1-13

1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.12Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
