Psalms 119:163–165

¹²⁸Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

¹⁶¶ These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

⁹Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

¹⁵Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

²⁹Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

²⁵Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

⁸Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

⁷He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

¹¹³I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

¹⁵For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

⁶²At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

⁸Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.

¹¹Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

²For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

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

²For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

¹⁷And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

³Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

²⁷Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

⁷And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

⁶Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

⁷Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

⁸And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

²³Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

¹⁰He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

²¹There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

¹⁷Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

²¹Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

¹⁵For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

¹⁶And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

¹³But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

¹⁴And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

¹³Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

¹⁴And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁵And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

²⁴For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
