Psalm 71

¹In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
²Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
³Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
⁴Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
⁵For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
⁶By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
⁷I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
⁸Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
¹⁰For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
¹¹Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
¹²O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
¹³Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
¹⁴But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
¹⁵My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
¹⁶I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
¹⁸Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
¹⁹Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
²⁰Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
²¹Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
²²I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
²³My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
²⁴My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

20And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
²Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
³And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
⁴And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
⁵Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
⁶And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
⁷Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.
⁸And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you.

²⁷Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
²⁸And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
²⁹For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
³⁰Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

2If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
²Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
⁴Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
⁶Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
⁷But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
⁸And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
⁹Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
¹¹And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
¹²Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
¹³For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
¹⁵That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
¹⁶Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
¹⁷Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
¹⁸For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
