Psalm 1

¹Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
²But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
³And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
⁴The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
⁵Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
⁶For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 3

¹Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
²Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
³But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
⁴I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
⁵I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
⁶I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
⁷Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
⁸Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

⁷The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
⁸My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
⁹For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
¹⁰My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
¹¹If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
¹²Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
¹³We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
¹⁴Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
¹⁵My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
¹⁶For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
¹⁷Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
¹⁸And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
¹⁹So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
²Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
⁴According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
⁵Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
⁶To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
⁷In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
⁸Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
⁹Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
¹⁰That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
¹¹In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
¹²That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
¹³In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
¹⁴Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
¹⁵Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
¹⁶Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
¹⁷That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
¹⁸The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
²¹Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
²²And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
²³Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
