I Timothy 4:7-8 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 4:2-3 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as HE said, As I have sworn in MY wrath, if they shall enter into My rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 20
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and HIM that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

1 Corinthians 15:48-53 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Revelation 21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God HIMSELF shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And HE said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And HE said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be MY son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Matthew 24:35 ... Jesus says ... Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

2 Peter3:10-14 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2 Timothy 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please HIM who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Psalm 16 (selected verses)
1 Preserve me, O God: for in THEE do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, THOU hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all MY delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: THOU maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD (THE WORD) always before me: because HE is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For THOU wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 THOU wilt shew me the path of life: in THY presence is fulness of joy; at THY right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
***
Psalm 17 (selected verses)
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
feigned: simulated or pretended; insincere; fake;
2 Let my sentence come forth from THY presence; let THINE eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 THOU hast proved mine heart; THOU hast visited (judged) me in the night; THOU hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of THY lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in THY paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon THEE, for THOU wilt hear me, O God: incline THINE ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew THY marvellous lovingkindness, O THOU that savest by THY right hand them which put their trust in THEE from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of THY wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold THY face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with THY likeness.
***
Psalm 18 (selected verses)
1 I will love THEE, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: HE heard my voice out of HIS temple, and my cry came before HIM, even into HIS ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because HE was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of HIS nostrils, and fire out of HIS mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 HE bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under HIS feet.
10 And HE rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, HE did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 HE made darkness HIS secret place; HIS pavilion round about HIM were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before HIM his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave HIS voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out HIS arrows, and scattered them; and HE shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at THY rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of THY nostrils.
16 He sent from above, HE took me, HE drew me out of many waters.
17 HE delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD (THE WORD) was my stay.
19 HE brought me forth also into a large place; HE delivered me, because HE delighted in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath HE recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all HIS judgments were before me, and I did not put away HIS statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before HIM, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in HIS eyesight.
25 With the merciful THOU wilt shew THYSELF merciful; with an upright man THOU wilt shew THYSELF upright;
26 With the pure THOU wilt shew THYSELF pure; and with the froward THOU wilt shew THYSELF froward.
27 For THOU wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For THOU wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by THEE I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for God, HIS way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: HE is a buckler to all those that trust in HIM.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 HE maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 HE teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of THY salvation: and THY right hand hath holden me up, and THY gentleness hath made me great.
36 THOU hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For THOU hast girded me with strength unto the battle: THOU hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 THOU hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but HE answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 THOU hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and THOU hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 HE delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, THOU liftest me up above those that rise up against me: THOU hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto THY name (THE WORD).
50 Great deliverance giveth HE to his king; and sheweth mercy to HIS anointed, to David, and to HIS seed for evermore.
***
Psalm 19 (selected verses)
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth HIS handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath HE set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and HIS circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse THOU me from secret faults.
13 Keep back THY servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in THY sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
***
Psalm 20 (selected scriptures)
1 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
4 Grant THEE according to THINE own heart, and fulfil all THY counsel.
5 We will rejoice in THY salvation, and in the name of our God (THE WORD) we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all THE petitions.
6 Now know I that the LORD saveth HIS anointed; HE will hear him from HIS holy heaven with the saving strength of HIS right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God (THE WORD).
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Psalms 11 (selected verses)
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: HIS eyes behold, HIS eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence HIS soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked HE shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; HIS countenance doth behold the upright.
***
Psalm 12 (selected verses)
1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
vile: unpleasant, immoral, and unacceptable; one who is without respect for another and considers the other person beneath himself
***
Psalm 13 (selected verses)
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt THOU hide THY face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in THY mercy; my heart shall rejoice in THY salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because HE hath dealt bountifully with me.
***
Psalm 14 (selected verses)
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of HIS people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
***
Psalm 15 (selected verses)
1 LORD, who shall abide in THY tabernacle? who shall dwell in THY holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalm 6 (selected verses)
1 O LORD, rebuke me not in THINE anger, neither chasten me in THY hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but THOU, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for THY mercies' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of THEE: in the grave who shall give THEE thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Psalm 7 (selected verses)
1 O LORD my God, in THEE do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust.
6 Arise, O LORD, in THINE anger, lift up THYSELF because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that THOU hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass THEE about: for their sakes therefore return THOU on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, HE will whet his sword; HE hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for HIM the instruments of death; HE ordaineth HIS arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will praise the LORD according to HIS righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Psalm 8 (selected verses)
1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is THY name in all the earth! who hast set THY glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast THOU ordained strength because of THINE enemies, that THOU mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider THY heavens, the work of THY fingers, the moon and the stars, which THOU hast ordained;
4 What is man, that THOU art mindful of him? and the son of man, that THOU visitest him?
5 For THOU hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 THOU madest him to have dominion over the works of THY hands; THOU hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is THY name in all the earth!

Psalm 9 (selected verses)
1 I will praise THEE, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all THYmarvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in THEE: I will sing praise to THY name (THE WORD), O THOU most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at THY presence.
4 For THOU hast maintained my right and my cause; THOU satest in the throne judging right.
5 THOU hast rebuked the heathen, THOU hast destroyed the wicked, THOU hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: HE hath prepared HIS throne for judgment.
8 And HE shall judge the world in righteousness, HE shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know THY name (The Word) will put their trust in THEE: for THOU, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek THEE.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people HIS doings.
12 When HE maketh inquisition for blood, HE remembereth them: HE forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, THOU that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shew forth all THY praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in THY salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which HE executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in THY sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.

Psalm 10 (selected verses)
1 Why standest THOU afar off, O LORD? why hidest THOU THYSELF in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, WHOM the LORD abhorreth.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous; THY judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: HE hideth HIS face; HE will never see it.
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up THINE hand: forget not the humble.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, THOU wilt not require it.
contemn: regard someone with feelings of superiority; disdain; scorn; regard with contempt
14 THOU hast seen it; for THOU beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with THY hand: the poor committeth himself unto THEE; THOU art the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break THOU the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till THOU find none.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 LORD, THOU hast heard the desire of the humble: THOU wilt prepare their heart, THOU wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Psalm 1:1-6
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
***
ungodly: Those who are not ruled by the Bible & God but go by the wisdom of themselves and other men
sinners: I Cor. 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
scornful: those who make fun of others and look down on them considering them to be less intelligent than themselves and inferior
***
Psalm 1
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.
***
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
(They go whichever way the wind blows whether good or evil.)
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
righteous: Those who seek after the right way of God

Psalm 2 (selected verses)
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
***
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest HE be angry, and ye perish from the way, when HIS wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in HIM.

Psalm 3 (selected verses)
3 But THOU, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and HE heard me out of HIS holy hill.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
***
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for THOU hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; THOU hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: THY blessing is upon THY people.

Psalm 4 (selected verses)
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: THOU hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing (lies)?
(Seek truth. Truth matters. If someone tells us something that is not true and we repeat what that person says and it turns out to be untrue, we bear false wisdom by repeating a lie.)
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto HIM.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
righteousness: that which is right in the sight of God
***
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 THOU hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for THOU, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Psalm 5
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto THEE will I pray.
3 My voice shalt THOU hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto THEE, and will look up.
4 For THOU art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with THEE.
5 The foolish shall not stand in THY sight: THOU hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 THOU shalt destroy them that speak leasing (lies): the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into THY house in the multitude of THY mercy: and in THY fear will I worship toward THY holy temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in THY righteousness because of mine enemies; make THY way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against THEE.
11 But let all those that put their trust in THEE rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because THOU defendest them: let them also that love THY name be joyful in THEE.
12 For THOU, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt THOU compass him as with a shield.

Be sure to do the following in prayer to God:
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
***
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.
***
Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation (manner of life) be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE (God) hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
***
Luke 12:4 Jesus said: And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you WHOM ye shall fear: Fear HIM (God), which after HE hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear HIM.
***
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.
***
Luke 12:1-3 Jesus says: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
***
Matthew 12 Jesus says:
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
***
Matthew 11 Jesus says:
28 Come unto ME all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.
***
Matthew 7 Jesus says:
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
***
Matthew 6 (Jesus says)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
***
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given HIM.
***
(Take the scriptures which God brings to your mind and record them for yourselves and listen to them at night to build your faith in God and to be able to do those scriptures in your life.)
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

During a very difficult trial of this life, God gave me 14 scriptures to give me strength to go in the way HE had shown me and to have faith in HIM.
I recorded the scriptures HE gave me and when I would go to bed, I turned on the sound and listened to those scriptures, sometimes falling asleep in the comfort and assurance of those scriptures.
This really helped me to endure.
This could really help each of us to do this. Most cell phones have a way you can record your scriptures and play them back when you want to hear them.
I will record a small podcast of current verses which God has given me to help me.
💥💥💥
Sometimes an individual will come to me showing great love for the message I carry from God, only to stay awhile and them disappear.
Ezekiel 33:31-33
31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as MY people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
***
Joshua 1:5-9
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
***
Hebrews 13: 5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
***
God used this to train me to do the work of a prophet of God in the New Testament Church:
Ezekiel 3
4 And HE said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; (to the church)
6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10 Moreover HE said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at MY mouth, and give them warning from ME.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
***
Proper handling of the Bible:
I Corinthians 11
28 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread (the Word), and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself (by the Word of God), and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. (examine himself by the scriptures)
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

1 (A Psalm of David.) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD (The Word); and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in HIM; and HE shall bring it to pass.
6 And HE shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for HIM: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22 For such as be blessed of HIM shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of HIM shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in HIS way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with HIS hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep HIS way, and HE shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: HE is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: HE shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in HIM.

Death is like "falling asleep." But at the moment of death, our spirit leaves our body. And according to the Bible, we sleep in Jesus. (I Thessalonians 4 When Jesus returns with a shout we will awaken and God gives us a new spiritual body. We will not have these physical bodies which have pain, decay, and even death.
I Thessalonians 4:13-17
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
With this shout, those who sleep in Jesus will awaken!
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
***
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
The moment we die, our spirit leaves our body. Therefore our spirit is not buried with our bodies in a grave.
***
My cousin's husband died. She was with him at the time. She said, "Thurman reached over and patted my hand and just "fell asleep".
She told me she was going to visit his grave. I asked, "Why would you do that? Thurman is not in a grave. He left his body the second he fell asleep."
She thought about what I said, and then she said, "Then it really doesn't matter where we are buried." I replied, "Right."
(I think my cousin was born again at that moment.)
***
I don't go to a funeral home to visit dead bodies. I am convinced the person who died is not in that dead body. (I want to remember the person as living not as dead.)
Neither do I visit grave yards where dead bodies have been buried. (My father, mother, aunt, uncle are not in those graves! They sleep in Jesus. And at the time Jesus returns to this earth, HE will "shout" and I believe they will awaken from sleep to the resurrection in a new spiritual body.
(Paul tells us that our physical body will be changed to a new spiritual body.)
I Corinthians 15
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (God is a "spirit". John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth .... We will be raised as "spirit" not as a physical body.)
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(Blink ... that is how fast we will be changed from this physical body.)
Revelation 21:3-5 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
I Corinthians 15
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
When a person died, the spirit of that person leaves his body. Falling asleep, in Jesus. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead,
The spirit is not in a grave in the ground with the body after he falls asleep (dies). At the time of death, the spirit leaves the body.
God gives us a new spiritual body. (I Cor. 15:48-51)
God has created a new heaven and earth in which we live in a new spiritual body. There is no death there, no pain, no sorrow. God showed this "new Jerusalem to the apostle John" and he wrote about this so we could know what it was like. (Rev. 21:1-5)
The pagan who know not God or Jesus sorrow greatly over death. Paul didn't want us to act like those pagan because we know the truth from the Bible about physical death.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

2 Thessalonians 2
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
I was reading this scripture in 1982 and God explained to me, "The falling away are not people leaving the churches. The falling away are the church groups leaving some of the scriptures and setting up doctrines to approve that which pleases men."
Antichrist is a spirit that comes into churches where scripture is removed.
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
When Jesus returns HE will judge this:
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
