Psalm 25:4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

 ¹¹For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

 ¹²Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

 ¹³Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

 ¹⁴Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2:11-14, King James Version)

 ¹I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

 ²The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

 ³I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. (Psalm 18:1-3, King James Version)
