Psalm 54

¹Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
²Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
³For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
⁴Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
⁵He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
⁶I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
⁷For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

Psalm 61

¹Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
²From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
³For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
⁴I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
⁵For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
⁶Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
⁷He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
⁸So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

²⁰And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
²¹So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
²²Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
²³And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
²⁴Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
²⁵Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.
²⁶But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them.

¹²Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
¹³Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
¹⁴And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
¹⁵And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
¹⁷And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
