¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer. Psalm 20 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

³⁴ Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.

¹⁵ O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

²⁵ But as for me I know that my Redeemer liveth, And at last he will stand up upon the earth:

¹ I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

² Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

¹⁹ But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a song.

¹⁰⁸ Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood `men' of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, `even the blood' of Christ:

¹⁵ Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.

⁴ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

¹⁴ Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

⁶ Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

⁴ Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

⁵ For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.

¹⁶ that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, `even' Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

¹ Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

² Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
