Psalms 119:150–152

²When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

⁹He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

¹⁶¶ And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

¹⁶Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

¹⁴Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

¹¹Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

¹²Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹³They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁶For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁷Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

⁴⁶Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

⁴⁷¶ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

⁷¶ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

¹⁸The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

¹⁴²Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

²Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

¹⁸The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

⁷For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

²³Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

¹³⁸Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

¹GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

¹UNTO thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

¹⁴I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

⁷The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

⁸They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

¹⁴⁴The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

¹⁶⁰Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

³⁴My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁵Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

³⁶His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

³⁷It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
