Psalms 24,25,26
The King of Glory Entering Zion.
1 The (C1)earth is the LORD'S, and (F1)all it contains,
The (C2)world, and those who live in it.
2 For He has (C1)founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
3 Who may (C1)ascend onto the (C2)hill of the LORD?
And who may stand in His holy (C3)place?
4 One who has (C1)clean hands and a (C2)pure heart,
Who has not (C3)lifted up his soul to deceit
And has not (C4)sworn deceitfully.
5 He will receive a (C1)blessing from the LORD
And (F1)(C2)righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 (F1)This is the generation of those who (C1)seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah
7 (C1)Lift up your heads, you gates,
And be lifted up, you (F1)ancient doors,
That the King of (C2)glory may come in!
8 Who is the King of glory?
The LORD (C1)strong and mighty,
The LORD (C2)mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates,
And lift them up, you (F1)ancient doors,
That the King of (C1)glory may come in!
10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of (C1)armies,
He is the King of glory. Selah
Prayer for Protection, Guidance, and Pardon.
1 To You, LORD, I (C1)lift up my soul.
2 My God, in You (C1)I trust,
Do not let me (C2)be ashamed;
Do not let my (C3)enemies rejoice over me.
3 Indeed, (C1)none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
(F1)Those who (C2)deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.
4 (C1)Make me know Your ways, LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
5 Lead me in (C1)Your truth and teach me,
For You are the (C2)God of my salvation;
For You I (C3)wait all the day.
6 (C1)Remember, LORD, Your compassion and Your faithfulness,
For they have been (F1)(C2)from of old.
7 Do not remember the (C1)sins of my youth or my wrongdoings;
(C2)Remember me according to Your faithfulness,
For Your (C3)goodness' sake, LORD.
8 (C1)The LORD is good and (C2)upright;
Therefore He (C3)instructs sinners in the way.
9 He (C1)leads the (F1)humble in justice,
And He (C2)teaches the (F1)humble His way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are (C1)faithfulness and truth
To (C2)those who comply with His covenant and His testimonies.
11 For the (C1)sake of Your name, LORD,
(C2)Forgive my wrongdoing, for it is great.
12 Who is the person who (C1)fears the LORD?
He will (C2)instruct him in the way he should choose.
13 His soul will (C1)dwell in (F1)prosperity,
And his (F2)descendants will (C2)inherit the (F3)land.
14 The (F1)(C1)secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him,
(F2)And He will (C2)make them know His covenant.
15 My (C1)eyes are continually toward the LORD,
For He will (F1)(C2)rescue my feet from the net.
16 (C1)Turn to me and be gracious to me,
For I am (C2)lonely and afflicted.
17 (F1)The (C1)troubles of my heart are enlarged;
Bring me (C2)out of my distresses.
18 (C1)Look at my misery and my trouble,
And (C2)forgive all my sins.
19 Look at my enemies, for they (C1)are many,
And they (C2)hate me with violent hatred.
20 (C1)Guard my soul and save me;
Do not let me (C2)be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.
21 Let (C1)integrity and uprightness protect me,
For (C2)I wait for You.
22 (C1)Redeem Israel, God,
From all his distress.
Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.
1 (F1)(C1)Vindicate me, LORD, for I have (C2)walked in my integrity,
And I have (C3)trusted in the LORD (F2)(C4)without wavering.
2 (C1)Examine me, LORD, and put me to the test;
(C2)Refine my (F1)mind and my heart.
3 For Your (F1)(C1)goodness is before my eyes,
And I have (C2)walked in Your truth.
4 I do not (C1)sit with (F1)deceitful people,
Nor will I go with (F2)(C2)pretenders.
5 I (C1)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will (C1)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go around (C2)Your altar, LORD,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of (C1)thanksgiving
And declare all Your (F1)wonders.
8 LORD, I (C1)love the dwelling of Your house,
And the place (F1)where Your (C2)glory remains.
9 (C1)Do not (F1)take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with (C2)men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a (C1)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (C2)bribes.
11 But as for me, I will (C1)walk in my integrity;
(C2)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 (C1)My foot stands on (C2)level ground;
In the (C3)congregations I will bless the LORD.
John 10:22-42
Chapter 10
22 At that time the (F1)Feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem;23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple area, in the portico of (C1)Solomon.24 (C1)The Jews then surrounded Him and began saying to Him, "How long (F1)will You keep us in suspense? If You are the (F2)Christ, tell us (C2)plainly."25 Jesus answered them, "(C1)I told you, and you do not believe; (C2)the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me.26 "But you do not believe, because (C1)you are not of My sheep.27 "My sheep (C1)listen to My voice, and (C2)I know them, and they follow Me;28 and I give them (C1)eternal life, and they will never perish; and (C2)no one will snatch them out of My hand.29 "(F1)My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.30 "(C1)I and the Father are (F1)one."
31 The Jews (C1)picked up stones again to stone Him.32 Jesus replied to them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?"33 The Jews answered Him, "We are not stoning You for a good work, but for (C1)blasphemy; and because You, being a man, (C2)make Yourself out to be God."34 Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in (C1)your (C2)Law: '(C3)I SAID, YOU ARE GODS'?35 "If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be nullified),36 are you saying of Him whom the Father (C1)sanctified and (C2)sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, '(C3)I am the Son of God'?37 "(C1)If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe (C1)the works, so that you may (F1)know and understand that (C2)the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."39 Therefore (C1)they were seeking again to arrest Him, and (C2)He eluded their grasp.
40 And He went away (C1)again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He stayed there.41 Many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no (C1)sign, yet (C2)everything John said about this Man was true."42 And (C1)many believed in Him there.
