Psalm 15

1  Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? ♦︎
   Who may rest upon your holy hill?
2  Whoever leads an uncorrupt life ♦︎
   and does the thing that is right;
3  Who speaks the truth from the heart ♦︎
   and bears no deceit on the tongue;
4  Who does no evil to a friend ♦︎
   and pours no scorn on a neighbour;
5  In whose sight the wicked are not esteemed, ♦︎
   but who honours those who fear the Lord.
6  Whoever has sworn to a neighbour ♦︎
   and never goes back on that word;
7  Who does not lend money in hope of gain, ♦︎
   nor takes a bribe against the innocent;
8  Whoever does these things ♦︎
   shall never fall.

Psalm 84

1  How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! ♦︎
   My soul has a desire and longing to enter the courts of the Lord;
      my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
2  The sparrow has found her a house
      and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young: ♦︎
   at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
3  Blessed are they who dwell in your house: ♦︎
   they will always be praising you.
4  Blessed are those whose strength is in you, ♦︎
   in whose heart are the highways to Zion,
5  Who going through the barren valley find there a spring, ♦︎
   and the early rains will clothe it with blessing.
6  They will go from strength to strength ♦︎
   and appear before God in Zion.
7  O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; ♦︎
   listen, O God of Jacob.
8  Behold our defender, O God, ♦︎
   and look upon the face of your anointed.
9  For one day in your courts ♦︎
   is better than a thousand.
10  I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God ♦︎
   than dwell in the tents of ungodliness.
11  For the Lord God is both sun and shield;
      he will give grace and glory; ♦︎
   no good thing shall the Lord withhold
      from those who walk with integrity.
12  O Lord God of hosts, ♦︎
   blessed are those who put their trust in you.

Psalm 149

1  Alleluia.
      O sing to the Lord a new song; ♦︎
   sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.
2  Let Israel rejoice in their maker; ♦︎
   let the children of Zion be joyful in their king.
3  Let them praise his name in the dance; ♦︎
   let them sing praise to him with timbrel and lyre.
4  For the Lord has pleasure in his people ♦︎
   and adorns the poor with salvation.
5  Let the faithful be joyful in glory; ♦︎
   let them rejoice in their ranks,
6  With the praises of God in their mouths ♦︎
   and a two-edged sword in their hands;
7  To execute vengeance on the nations ♦︎
   and punishment on the peoples;
8  To bind their kings in chains ♦︎
   and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9  To execute on them the judgement decreed: ♦︎
   such honour have all his faithful servants.
      Alleluia.
