New International Version

נ Nun

¹⁰⁵Your word is a lamp^(A) for my feet,
    a light^(B) on my path.
¹⁰⁶I have taken an oath^(C) and confirmed it,
    that I will follow your righteous laws.^(D)
¹⁰⁷I have suffered much;
    preserve my life,^(E) Lord, according to your word.
¹⁰⁸Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,^(F)
    and teach me your laws.^(G)
¹⁰⁹Though I constantly take my life in my hands,^(H)
    I will not forget^(I) your law.
¹¹⁰The wicked have set a snare^(J) for me,
    but I have not strayed^(K) from your precepts.
¹¹¹Your statutes are my heritage forever;
    they are the joy of my heart.^(L)
¹¹²My heart is set^(M) on keeping your decrees
    to the very end.^[a]^(N)

New International Version

John’s Vision of Christ

⁹I, John,^(A) your brother and companion in the suffering^(B) and kingdom^(C) and patient endurance^(D) that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God^(E) and the testimony of Jesus.^(F) ¹⁰On the Lord’s Day^(G) I was in the Spirit,^(H) and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,^(I) ¹¹which said: “Write on a scroll what you see^(J) and send it to the seven churches:^(K) to Ephesus,^(L) Smyrna,^(M) Pergamum,^(N) Thyatira,^(O) Sardis,^(P) Philadelphia^(Q) and Laodicea.”^(R)

¹²I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,^(S) ¹³and among the lampstands^(T) was someone like a son of man,^[a]^(U) dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet^(V) and with a golden sash around his chest.^(W) ¹⁴The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.^(X) ¹⁵His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace,^(Y) and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.^(Z) ¹⁶In his right hand he held seven stars,^(AA) and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.^(AB) His face was like the sun^(AC) shining in all its brilliance.
