Psa 25:1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up
my soul.

let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Psa 25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Psa 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait
all the day.
Psa 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have
been ever of old.

O LORD.

covenant and his testimonies.

iniquity; for it is great.
Psa 25:12 What man is
he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the
way that he shall choose.

shall inherit the earth.

his covenant.

reins and my heart.

is before mine eyes: and I have walked
in thy truth.

will I go in with dissemblers.

thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psa 26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy
house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

with bloody men:

mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
Psa 26:12 My foot standeth in
an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
Psalms 27
Psa 27:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life; of
whom shall I be afraid?
Psa 27:2 When the wicked, even
mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and
fell.
Psa 27:3 Though a host should encamp against me, my
heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be
confident.
Psa 27:4 One thing
have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the
house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD,
and to inquire in his temple.
Psa 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me
in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set
me up upon a rock.
Psa 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above
mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Psa 27:7 Hear, O LORD, when
I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Psa 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said
unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Psa 27:9 Hide not thy face far
from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me
not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then
the LORD will take me up.
Psa 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a
plain path, because of mine enemies.
Psa 27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine
enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out
cruelty.
Psa 27:13 I had fainted,
unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the
living.
Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he
shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the
LORD.
Psalms 28
Psa 28:1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my
rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou
be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
Psa 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I
cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
Psa 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with
the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
Psa 28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and
according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of
their hands; render to them their desert.
Psa 28:5 Because they regard not the works of the
LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them
up.
Psa 28:6 Blessed be
the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Psa 28:7 The LORD is
my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore
my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I
praise him.
Psa 28:8 The LORD is
their strength, and he is the saving
strength of his anointed.
Psa 28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up
forever.

Psa 29:1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye
mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Psa 29:3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is
upon many waters.
Psa 29:4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
Psa 29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh
the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of
Lebanon.
Psa 29:6 He maketh them also
to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young
unicorn.
Psa 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth
the flames of fire.
Psa 29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh
the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
Psa 29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh
the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and
in his temple doth every one speak of his
glory.
Psa 29:10 The LORD sitteth
upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King forever.
Psa 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people;
the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Psalms 30
Psa 30:1 A Psalm and
Song at the dedication of the house of
David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made
my foes to rejoice over me.
Psa 30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou
hast healed me.
Psa 30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the
grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Psa 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and
give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Psa 30:5 For his anger endureth but
a moment; in his favour is life: weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh
in the morning.
Psa 30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be
moved.
Psa 30:7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my
mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and
I was troubled.
Psa 30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I
made supplication.
Psa 30:9 What profit is
there in my blood, when I go down to the
pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
Psa 30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD,
be thou my helper.
Psa 30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into
dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
Psa 30:12 To the end that my
glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give
thanks unto thee forever.
1Timothy 5
1Ti
5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and
the younger men as brethren;
1Ti 5:2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as
sisters, with all purity.
1Ti 5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
1Ti 5:4 But if any widow have children or nephews,
let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for
that is good and acceptable before God.
1Ti 5:5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate,
trusteth in God, and continueth
in supplications and prayers night and day.
1Ti 5:6 But she that liveth
in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
1Ti 5:7 And these things give in charge, that they
may be blameless.
1Ti 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and
especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse
than an infidel.
1Ti 5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number
under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
1Ti 5:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have
brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the
saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently
followed every good work.
1Ti 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they
have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
1Ti 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off
their first faith.
1Ti 5:13 And withal they learn to be
idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also
and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
1Ti 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women
marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to
speak reproachfully.
1Ti 5:15 For some are already turned aside after
Satan.
1Ti 5:16 If any man or woman that believeth have
widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may
relieve them that are widows indeed.
1Ti 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted
worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
1Ti 5:18 For the Scripture saith,
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth
out the corn. And, The labourer is
worthy of his reward.
1Ti 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation,
but before two or three witnesses.
1Ti 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others
also may fear.
1Ti 5:21 I charge thee
before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe
these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by
partiality.
1Ti 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be
partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
1Ti 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine
for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
1Ti 5:24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going
before to judgment; and some men they
follow after.
1Ti 5:25 Likewise also the good works of some
are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
