1 O Lord, my heart is not proud; ♦︎
my eyes are not raised in haughty looks.
2 I do not occupy myself with great matters, ♦︎
with things that are too high for me.
3 But I have quieted and stilled my soul,
like a weaned child on its mothers breast; ♦︎
so my soul is quieted within me.
4 O Israel, trust in the Lord, ♦︎
from this time forth for evermore.
1 Lord, remember for David ♦︎
all the hardships he endured;
2 How he swore an oath to the Lord ♦︎
and vowed a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 I will not come within the shelter of my house, ♦︎
nor climb up into my bed;
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, ♦︎
nor let my eyelids slumber,
5 Until I find a place for the Lord, ♦︎
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6 Now, we heard of the ark in Ephrathah ♦︎
and found it in the fields of Ja-ar.
7 Let us enter his dwelling place ♦︎
and fall low before his footstool.
8 Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, ♦︎
you and the ark of your strength.
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness ♦︎
and your faithful ones sing with joy.
10 For your servant Davids sake, ♦︎
turn not away the face of your anointed.
11 The Lord has sworn an oath to David, ♦︎
a promise from which he will not shrink:
12 Of the fruit of your body ♦︎
shall I set upon your throne.
13 If your children keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them, ♦︎
their children also shall sit upon your throne for evermore.
14 For the Lord has chosen Zion for himself; ♦︎
he has desired her for his habitation:
15 This shall be my resting place for ever; ♦︎
here will I dwell, for I have longed for her.
16 I will abundantly bless her provision; ♦︎
her poor will I satisfy with bread.
17 I will clothe her priests with salvation, ♦︎
and her faithful ones shall rejoice and sing.
18 There will I make a horn to spring up for David; ♦︎
I will keep a lantern burning for my anointed.
19 As for his enemies, I will clothe them with shame; ♦︎
but on him shall his crown be bright.
1 Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, ♦︎
you that by night stand in the house of the Lord.
2 Lift up your hands towards the sanctuary ♦︎
and bless the Lord.
3 The Lord who made heaven and earth ♦︎
give you blessing out of Zion.

14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin* of Gods creation:
15 I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
16So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
17For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing. You do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
18Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich; and white robes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
19I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and repent.
20Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me.
21To the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
