- The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. - The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in his way. - A man's heart deviseth his way:
but the Lord directeth his steps. - He that walketh uprightly walketh surely:
but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. - I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. - Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. - He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. - And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
- A talebearer revealeth secrets:
but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. - For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
- But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
- But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
- Surely the Lord God will do nothing,
but he revealeth his secret
unto his servants the prophets. - But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
- He revealeth the deep and secret things:
he knoweth what is in the darkness,
and the light dwelleth with him. - And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
- Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
- Envy thou not the oppressor,
and choose none of his ways.
For the froward is abomination to the Lord:
but his secret is with the righteous. - So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
- And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
- He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust. - Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
- Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love. My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever.Next verse!With image
