Psalm 23

1~The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 2~He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3~He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4~Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5~Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6~Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 139 {this is one of my absolute favorites!}

1~O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2~Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3~ Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4~For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5~Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6~Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7~ ¶ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8~If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 ~If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10~ Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11~If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12~Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13~For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

14~I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15~My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16~Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17~ ¶ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18~ If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

19~ Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

20~ For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

21~ Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

22~I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23~Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24~And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

1 Corinthians 13

1~Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2~ And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3~ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4~¶ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5~ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6~Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7~Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8~ ¶ Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9~ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10~ But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11~ When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12~ For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13~ And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
