Psalms 119:30–31

¹⁹And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

²⁹For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

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

⁴²But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

²As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

¹⁵And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

⁴I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

¹⁸¶ Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

¹⁹And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

²⁰And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

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

²⁴Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellers.

⁴⁵And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

¹⁷³Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

⁵²I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and have comforted myself.

³¹Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

²³Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

⁵And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

²³Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

¹⁷But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

²⁸And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

²O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

²⁰O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

²⁰Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

²²¶ For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

⁴But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.

²³And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

¹⁸Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

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

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

⁸⁰Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
