Psalm 15

¹Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
²He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
³He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
⁴In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
⁵He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalm 92

¹IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE Lord, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
²To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
³Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
⁴For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
⁵O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
⁶A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
⁸But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
⁹For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
¹⁰But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
¹⁵To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

⁵Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
⁶For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
⁷Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
⁸For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
¹⁰I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
¹¹As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
¹²A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
¹³O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
¹⁴Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

10Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
²And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
³And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
⁴And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
⁵But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
⁷Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
⁸Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
⁹Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
¹¹Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
¹²Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
¹³There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
