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.

2The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
²And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
³And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
⁴And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
⁵O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

4After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
²And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
³And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
⁴And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
⁵And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
⁶And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
⁷And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
⁸And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
⁹And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
¹⁰The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
¹¹Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
