Psalm 48

¹Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
²Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
³God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
⁴For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
⁵They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
⁶Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
⁷Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
⁸As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
⁹We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
¹⁰According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
¹¹Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
¹²Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
¹³Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
¹⁴For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

Psalm 126

¹When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
²Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
³The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
⁴Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
⁵They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
⁶He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

62For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
²And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
³Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
⁴Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
⁵For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
⁶I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,
⁷And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
⁸The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
⁹But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
¹⁰Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
¹¹Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
¹²And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

25Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
²And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
³They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
⁴But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
⁵While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
⁶And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
⁷Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
⁸And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
⁹But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
¹⁰And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
¹¹Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
¹²But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
¹³Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
