In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
