Psalm 8

¹O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
²Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
³When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
⁴What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
⁵For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
⁶Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
⁷All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
⁸The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
⁹O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Psalm 26

¹Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
²Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
³For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
⁴I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
⁵I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
⁶I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
⁷That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
⁸Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
⁹Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
¹⁰In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
¹¹But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
¹²My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

31At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
²Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
³The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
⁴Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
⁵Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
⁶For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.
¹⁵Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
¹⁶Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

18At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
²And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
³And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
⁵And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
⁶But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
⁷Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
⁸Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
⁹And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
¹⁰Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
¹¹For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
¹²How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
¹³And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
