Psalm 13

¹How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
³Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
⁴Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
⁵But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
⁶I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 14

¹The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
²The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
³They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
⁵There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
⁶Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.
⁷Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

¹²Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
¹³But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
¹⁴There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
¹⁵Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
¹⁶When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)
¹⁷Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

9For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.

23Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
²Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
³All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
⁴For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
⁵But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
⁶And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
⁷And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
⁸But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
⁹And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
¹⁰Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
¹¹But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
¹²And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
