113 I hate those who are double-minded, ♦︎
but your law do I love.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield ♦︎
and my hope is in your word.
115 Away from me, you wicked! ♦︎
I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Sustain me according to your promise, that I may live, ♦︎
and let me not be disappointed in my hope.
117 Hold me up and I shall be saved, ♦︎
and my delight shall be ever in your statutes.
118 You set at nought those who depart from your statutes, ♦︎
for their deceiving is in vain.
119 You consider all the wicked as dross; ♦︎
therefore I love your testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of you ♦︎
and I am afraid of your judgements.
121 I have done what is just and right; ♦︎
O give me not over to my oppressors.
122 Stand surety for your servants good; ♦︎
let not the proud oppress me.
123 My eyes fail with watching for your salvation ♦︎
and for your righteous promise.
124 O deal with your servant according to your faithful love ♦︎
and teach me your statutes.
125 I am your servant; O grant me understanding, ♦︎
that I may know your testimonies.
126 It is time for you to act, O Lord, ♦︎
for they frustrate your law.
127 Therefore I love your commandments ♦︎
above gold, even much fine gold.
128 Therefore I direct my steps by all your precepts, ♦︎
and all false ways I utterly abhor.

19Saul spoke to his son Jonathan and to all his servants about killing David. But Sauls son Jonathan took great delight in David. 2Jonathan told David, My father Saul is trying to kill you; therefore be on guard tomorrow morning; stay in a secret place and hide yourself. 3I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you; if I learn anything I will tell you. 4Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul, saying to him, The king should not sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you; 5for he took his life in his hand when he attacked the Philistine, and the Lord brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against an innocent person by killing David without cause? 6Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, As the Lord lives, he shall not be put to death. 7So Jonathan called David and related all these things to him. Jonathan then brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

39 In the morning they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned to run the ship ashore, if they could. 40So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea. At the same time they loosened the ropes that tied the steering-oars; then hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. 41But striking a reef,* they ran the ship aground; the bow stuck and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the force of the waves. 42The soldiers plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none might swim away and escape; 43but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land, 44and the rest to follow, some on planks and others on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land.
