Bible verses about "morning prayer" | Darby

¹ There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil. ² And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. ³ And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east. ⁴ And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. ⁵ And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. ⁶ And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them. ⁷ And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. ⁸ And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? ⁹ And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? ¹⁰ Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is spread abroad in the land. ¹¹ But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face! ¹² And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah. ¹³ And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn. ¹⁴ And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them; ¹⁵ and [they of] Sheba fell [upon them] and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. ¹⁶ While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. ¹⁷ While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. ¹⁸ While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn; ¹⁹ and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. ²⁰ And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped; ²¹ and he said, Naked came I out of my mother`s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah! ²² In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.

¹ {To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.} Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation. ² Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray. ³ Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up. ⁴ For thou art not a ?God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee. ⁵ Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity. ⁶ Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit. ⁷ But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear. ⁸ Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me. ⁹ For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. ¹⁰ Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. ¹¹ And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee. ¹² For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.

⁷ But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

¹ {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.} Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. ² Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me. ⁴ Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest. ⁵ Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me. ⁶ Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom. ⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. ⁸ Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. ⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. ¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me. ¹² Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me. ¹³ I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee. ¹⁴ Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. ¹⁵ Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise. ¹⁶ For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. ¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³⁵ Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;

²⁹ And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord;

⁷⁹ to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light. And there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters. ⁷ And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so. ⁸ And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning -- a second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; ¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens. ²¹ And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth. ²³ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth. ²⁷ And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you; ³⁰ and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day.

⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day, ⁶ For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. ⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

¹² Hast thou since thy days commanded the morning? hast thou caused the dawn to know its place,

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.

⁸ Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

¹⁷ I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.

¹⁰⁵ NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

¹ {A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my ?God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water: ² To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary; ³ For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee. ⁴ So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name. ⁵ My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips. ⁶ When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches: ⁷ For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy. ⁸ My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. ⁹ But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth; ¹⁰ They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes. ¹¹ But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

³⁵ And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.

¹⁴ Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

³ Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.
