King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 63:1-11

1A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee:
my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4Thus will I bless thee while I live:
I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8My soul followeth hard after thee:
thy right hand upholdeth me.
9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They shall fall by the sword:
they shall be a portion for foxes.
11But the king shall rejoice in God;
every one that sweareth by him shall glory:
but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalm 54:1-7

1To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2Hear my prayer, O God;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul:
they have not set God before them.
Selah.
4Behold, God is mine helper:
the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:
cut them off in thy truth.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee:
I will praise thy name, O LORD;
for it is good.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:
and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

Psalm 119:169-176

169TAU.
Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD:
give me understanding according to thy word.
170Let my supplication come before thee:
deliver me according to thy word.
171My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
172My tongue shall speak of thy word:
for all thy commandments are righteousness.
173Let thine hand help me;
for I have chosen thy precepts.
174I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD;
and thy law is my delight.
175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee;
and let thy judgments help me.
176I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
seek thy servant;
for I do not forget thy commandments.

Luke 15:1-10

1Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.2And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.3And he spake this parable unto them, saying,4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?5And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.8Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?9And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
