Psalm 11

¹In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
²For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
³If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
⁴The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
⁵The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
⁶Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
⁷For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalm 12

¹Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
²They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
³The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
⁴Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
⁵For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
⁶The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
⁷Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
⁸The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

6There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
²A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
⁷All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
⁸For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
⁹Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
¹⁰That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
¹¹Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
¹²For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

³⁴But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
³⁵Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
³⁶Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
³⁷Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
³⁸This is the first and great commandment.
³⁹And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
⁴¹While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
⁴²Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
⁴³He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
⁴⁴The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
⁴⁵If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
⁴⁶And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
