Psa 119:74  They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

Psa 119:83  For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

Psa 119:84  How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

Psa 119:85  The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

Psa 119:86  All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

Psa 119:87  They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

Psa 119:88  Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

Psa 119:89  Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Psa 119:90  Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

Psa 119:91  They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.

Psa 119:114  Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

Psa 119:115  Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Psa 119:116  Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Psa 119:117  Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Psa 119:118  Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.

Psa 119:119  Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

Psa 119:120  My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

Psa 119:121  I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

Psa 119:122  Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

Psa 119:123  Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

Psa 119:124  Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

Psa 119:125  I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

Psa 119:126  It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.

Psa 119:127  Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

Psa 119:128  Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

Psa 119:129  Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

Psa 119:130  The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Psa 119:131  I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

Psa 119:132  Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Psa 119:134  Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

Psa 119:135  Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.

Psa 119:136  Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.

Psa 119:137  Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

Psa 119:138  Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

Psa 119:139  My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

Psa 119:140  Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

Psa 119:141  I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

Psa 119:147  I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

Psa 119:148  Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

Psa 119:149  Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

Psa 119:150  They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

Psa 119:151  Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

Psa 119:152  Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them forever.

Psa 119:153  Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

Psalms 120

Psa 120:1  A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

Psa 120:2  Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Psa 120:3  What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

Psa 120:4  Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Psa 120:5  Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

Psa 120:6  My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

Psa 120:7  I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

 

 

Hebrews 5

Heb 5:1  For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Heb 5:2  Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

Heb 5:3  And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Heb 5:4  And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

Heb 5:5  So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.

Heb 5:6  As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 5:7  Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Heb 5:8  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Heb 5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Heb 5:10  Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 5:11  Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

Heb 5:12  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Heb 5:13  For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

Heb 5:14  But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
