“So the first angel went and poured out his bowl upon the earth,

and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men

who had the mark of the beast and worshipped his image.”

“He forces all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave,

to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads.”

„He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.

And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him

and manifest Myself to him.“

„Teach me to do your will, for you are my God!

Let your good Spirit lead me in the land of uprightness.“

„You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.“

„Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;

unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.“

„Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments.“

“How can a young man keep his way pure?

By guarding it according to your word.”

“O Lord, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;

You have loosed my bond.”

“Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments.”

“Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore!”

“In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; my hand was stretched out in the night

without ceasing; my soul refused to be comforted.”

“Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink;

let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.”

“Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloodthirsty men.”

“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;

according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.”

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?”
