1 In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame; ♦︎
deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Incline your ear to me; ♦︎
make haste to deliver me.
3 Be my strong rock, a fortress to save me,
for you are my rock and my stronghold; ♦︎
guide me, and lead me for your names sake.
4 Take me out of the net
that they have laid secretly for me, ♦︎
for you are my strength.
5 Into your hands I commend my spirit, ♦︎
for you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
19 How abundant is your goodness, O Lord,
which you have laid up for those who fear you; ♦︎
which you have prepared in the sight of all
for those who put their trust in you.
20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence
from those who slander them; ♦︎
you keep them safe in your refuge from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord! ♦︎
For he has shown me his steadfast love
when I was as a city besieged.
22 I had said in my alarm,
I have been cut off from the sight of your eyes. ♦︎
Nevertheless, you heard the voice of my prayer
when I cried out to you.
23 Love the Lord, all you his servants; ♦︎
for the Lord protects the faithful,
but repays to the full the proud.
24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, ♦︎
all you who wait in hope for the Lord.

6 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;*
because they sell the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals
7 they who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth,
and push the afflicted out of the way;
father and son go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge;
and in the house of their God they drink
wine bought with fines they imposed.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of cedars,
and who was as strong as oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above,
and his roots beneath.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
and led you for forty years in the wilderness,
to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your children to be prophets
and some of your youths to be nazirites.*
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?
says the Lord.

7Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. 2For with the judgement you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3Why do you see the speck in your neighbours* eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your neighbour,* Let me take the speck out of your eye, while the log is in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbours* eye.
6 Do not give what is holy to dogs; and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under foot and turn and maul you.
