Psalms 119:13–17

¹⁵My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

¹⁶I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

¹⁸Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

⁹I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

¹⁰I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

¹⁷I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

¹¹Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

²⁰For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

³⁴O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

¹⁷²My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

⁴⁶I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

²⁷What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

⁴⁴¶ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

¹⁶Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

¹⁶²I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

¹PRAISE ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

⁹The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

¹⁰More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

¹²Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

¹²⁷Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

¹¹¹Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

⁷²The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷⁷Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

⁴¹¶ Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

⁴²And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

⁴⁴And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

⁴⁵And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

⁴⁶And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁷Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

⁴⁷And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

²⁵But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

²But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

¹⁴⁸Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

⁹⁷O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

⁴⁸My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

⁷⁸Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

¹¹⁷Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

¹³¹I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

⁶Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

²³Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

²⁴Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellers.

¹MY son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

⁴⁷And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

³⁵Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

²²For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

¹⁶This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

¹⁷And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

²³For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

²⁴For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

¹⁰⁹My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

¹⁴¹I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

¹⁷⁶I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

⁷⁰Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

⁷⁷Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

⁸³For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

⁹²Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

⁹³I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

²But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

¹⁴I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

⁸I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

¹¹Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

⁶I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

¹¹For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

¹²Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

¹²⁴Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

⁶⁵Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.

²⁹If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

⁷Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁸And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

⁹(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

¹⁰Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

¹¹Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹⁶And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

¹⁹But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

¹³²Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

³For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

⁴That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
