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.
⁶He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
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.

¹¹God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
¹²Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

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.

24Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.
²In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power.
³I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud.
⁴I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.
⁵I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep.
⁶In the waves of the sea and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession.
⁷With all these I sought rest: and in whose inheritance shall I abide?
⁸So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel.
⁹He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.
¹⁸I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are named of him.
¹⁹Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits.
²⁰For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb.
²¹They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.
²²He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they that work by me shall not do amiss.

²⁷Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
²⁸But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
²⁹And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
³⁰And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
³¹It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
³²But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
³³Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
³⁴But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
³⁵Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
³⁶Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
³⁷But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
