Psalm 62

¹Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
²He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
³How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
⁴They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
⁵My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

⁷In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
⁸Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
⁹Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

Psalm 63

¹O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
²To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
³Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
⁴Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
⁶When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
⁷Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
⁸My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
⁹But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
¹⁰They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

13The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

⁴The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
⁵They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
¹⁷Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
¹⁸Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
¹⁹And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
²⁰It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
²¹But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
²²And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

4And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
²And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
³Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
⁴And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
⁵And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
⁶But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
⁷And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
⁹And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
¹¹And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
¹²That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
¹³And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
¹⁴The sower soweth the word.
¹⁵And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
¹⁶And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
¹⁷And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
¹⁸And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
¹⁹And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
²⁰And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
