PSALM 54:1-3   SAVE ME,  O GOD, BY THY  NAME AND  JUDGE ME  BY THY STRENGTH. HEAR MY PRAYER,  O GOD;  GIVE EAR TO THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH. FOR STRANGERS  ARE RISEN UP AGAINST ME,  AND  OPPRESSORS   SEEK AFTER  MY SOUL:  THEY HAVE NOT  SEEN GOD BEFORE THEM.  SELAH.  LOVE  

PSALM 109:1-5     HOLD NOT THY PEACE,  O GOD OF MY PRAISE;  FOR THE MOUTH OF  THE WICKED AND  THE MOUTH OF THE  DECEITFUL  ARE OPENED  AGAINST ME:  THEY HAVE SPOKEN  AGAINST ME WITH  A LYING TONGUE.   THEY COMPASSED ME  ABOUT ALSO WITH  WORDS OF HATRED;  AND FOUGHT AGAINST  ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.  FOR MY LOVE THEY ARE MY ADVERSARIES :   BUT  I GIVE MYSELF  UNTO PRAYER .  AND  THEY HAVE  REWARDED ME EVIL  FOR GOOD,  AND  HATRED FOR MY LOVE .    LOVE  

2 KINGS 17:36-39   BUT THE LORD, WHO BROUGHT YOU UP OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT . WITH GREAT POWER AND  A STRETCHED OUT ARM,  HIM SHALL YE FEAR,  AND  HIM SHALL YE WORSHIP ,  AND TO HIM SHALL  YE DO SACRIFICE.  AND THE STATUTES,  AND THE ORDINANCES,  AND THE LAW ,  AND THE COMMANDMENT,  WHICH HE WROTE FOR YOU,  YE SHALL OBSERVE TO DO FOR EVERMORE;  AND YE SHALL NOT  FEAR OTHER GODS.  AND  THE COVENANT   THAT I HAVE MADE  WITH YOU YE SHALL  NOT FORGET;  NEITHER  SHALL YE FEAR OTHER GODS.  BUT THE LORD  YOUR GOD YE SHALL  YE FEAR;  AND HE SHALL DELIVER  YOU OUT OF THE HAND  OF ALL YOUR ENEMIES.    LOVE

ISAIAH 11:11-16 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT THE LORD SHALL SET HIS HAND AGAIN  THE SECOND TIME TO  RECOVER THE REMNANT  OF  HIS PEOPLE,  WHICH SHALL BE LEFT,  FROM ASSYRIA ,  AND FROM EGYPT ,  AND FROM PATHROS,  AND FROM CUSH ,  AND FROM ELAM ,  AND FROM SHINAR ,  AND FROM HAMATH ,  AND  FROM  THE ISLANDS OF THE SEA .  AND HE SHALL  SET UP AN  ENSIGN FOR THE NATIONS,  AND  SHALL ASSEMBLE  THE OUTCASTS OF ISRAEL ,  AND  GATHER TOGETHER  THE DISPERSED OF JUDAH   FROM THE FOUR  CORNERS OF THE EARTH.     THE ENVY ALSO OF EPHRAIM   SHALL DEPART,  AND  THE ADVERSARIES  OF JUDAH SHALL  BE CUT OFF:  EPHRAIM  SHALL NOT ENVY JUDAH,  AND  JUDAH  SHALL NOT VEX EPHRAIM.  BUT THEY SHALL FLY  UPON THE SHOULDERS  OF THE PHILISTINES   TOWARD THE WEST:  THEY SHALL SPOIL  T...

JOSHUA  24:17-19 FOR THE LORD GOD ,  HE IT IS  THAT BROUGHT US UP  AND  OUR FATHERS  OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT ,  FROm  THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE,  AND  WHICH DID  THOSE GREAT SIGNS   IN OUR SIGHT,  AND  PRESERVED US  IN ALL THE WAY  WHEREIN WE WENT,  AND  AMONG ALL THE PEOPLE  THROUGH WHOM WE PASSED:  AND  THE LORD DRAVE  OUT FROM BEFORE US  ALL THE PEOPLE,  EVEN  THE AMORITES WHICH  DWELT IN THE LAND:  THEREFORE WILL WE  ALSO SERVE THE LORD;  FOR HE IS OUR GOD.  AND  JOSHUA SAID UNTO THE PEOPLE,  YE CANNOT SERVE THE LORD :  FOR HE IS AN HOLY GOD :  HE IS A JEALOUS GOD   HE WILL NOT FORGIVE  YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS   NOR YOUR SINS .    LOVE

  PSALM 10:1-10 WHY STANDEST THOU  AFAR OFF,  O LORD ?  WHY HIDEST THOU  THYSELF  IN TIMES OF TROUBLE? THE WICKED  IN HIS PRIDE  DOTH PERSECUTE  THE POOR:  LET THEM BE TAKEN  IN THE DEVICES  THAT  THEY HAVE IMAGINED. FOR THE WICKED  BOASTETH OF HIS  HEART'S DESIRE,  AND  BLESSETH THE COVETOUS,  WHOM THE LORD  ABHORRETH. THE WICKED,  THROUGH  THE PRIDE OF HIS  COUNTENANCE,  WILL NOT SEEK  AFTER GOD :  GOD IS NOT IN  ALL HIS THOUGHTS. HIS WAYS ARE  ALWAYS GRIEVOUS;  THY JUDGMENTS  ARE FAR ABOVE  OUT OF HIS SIGHT:  AS FOR ALL HIS ENEMIES,  HE PUFFETH AT THEM. HE HATH SAID  IN HIS HEART,  I SHALL NOT BE MOVED:  FOR  I SHALL NEVER  BE IN ADVERSITY. HIS  MOUTH IS  FULL OF CURSING  AND DECEIT  AND FRAUD:  UNDER HIS TONGUE  IS MISCHIEF AND VANITY. HE SITTETH IN  THE LURKI...

EXODUS 34:5-7 AND  THE LORD   DESCENDED  IN THE CLOUD,  AND  STOOD WITH HIM THERE,  AND PROCLAIMED  THE NAME OF THE LORD.

REVELATION 3:7-9 AND TO THE ANGEL  OF  THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA   WRITE ;   THESE THINGS  SAITH HE THAT IS HOLY,  HE THAT IS TRUE,  HE THAT HATH  THE KEY OF DAVID ,   HE THAT OPENETH, AND NO MAN SHUTTETH; AND SHUTTETH, AND NO MAN OPENETH; I KNOW THY WORKS:  BEHOLD,  I HAVE SET BEFORE THEE  AN OPEN DOOR,  AND  NO MAN CAN SHUT IT:  FOR THOU HAST  A LITTLE STRENGTH  AND  HAST KEPT MY WORD,  AND  HAST NOT  DENIED MY NAME.  BEHOLD,  I WILL MAKE THEM  OF  THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN,  WHICH SAY  THEY ARE JEWS,  AND ARE NOT,  BUT DO LIE;  BEHOLD,  I WILL MAKE THEM  TO COME AND WORSHIP  BEFORE THY FEET  AND  TO KNOW  THAT I HAVE Loved THEE.      LOVE
