Psalm 11

¹In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
²For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
³If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
⁴The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
⁵The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
⁶Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
⁷For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalm 12

¹Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
²They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
³The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
⁴Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
⁵For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
⁶The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
⁷Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
⁸The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

¹²Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
¹³In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
¹⁴Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
¹⁵Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
¹⁶It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
¹⁷Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
¹⁸Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
¹⁹How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
²⁰They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
²¹Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

¹⁴Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
¹⁵But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
¹⁶And charged them that they should not make him known:
¹⁷That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
¹⁸Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
¹⁹He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
²⁰A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
²¹And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
²²Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
²³And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
²⁴But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
²⁵And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
²⁶And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
²⁷And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
²⁸But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
²⁹Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
³⁰He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
