  • Genesis 9, 10
    And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
    And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
    Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
    But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
    And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
    Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
    And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
    And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
    And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
    And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
    And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
    And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
    I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
    And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
    And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
    And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
    And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
    And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
    These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
    And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
    And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
    And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
    And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
    And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
    And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
    And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
    God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
    And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
    And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
    Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
    The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
    And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
    And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
    By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
    And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
    And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabt

  • Matthew 7
    Judge not, that ye be not judged.
    For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
    And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
    Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
    Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
    Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
    Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
    For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
    Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
    Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
    If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
    Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
    Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
    Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
    Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
    Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
    A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
    Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
    Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
    Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
    And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
    Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
    And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
    And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
    For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

  • Psalms 11,12,13
    In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
    For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
    If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
    The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
    The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
    Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
    For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
    Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
    They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
    The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
    Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
    For 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.
    The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
    Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
    The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
    How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
    How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
    Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
    Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
    But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
    I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

  • Matthew 6
    Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
    Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
    But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
    That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
    And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
    But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
    But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
    Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
    After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
    Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
    Give us this day our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
    For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
    But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
    Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
    But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
    That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
    Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
    But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
    The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
    But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
    No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
    Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
    Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
    Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
    And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
    And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
    Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
    Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
    (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

  • Psalms 9,10
    I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
    I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
    When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
    For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
    Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
    O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
    But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
    And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
    The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
    And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
    Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
    When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
    Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
    That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
    The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
    The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
    The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
    For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
    Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
    Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
    Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
    The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
    For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
    The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
    His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
    He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
    His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
    He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
    He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
    He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
    He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
    Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
    Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
    Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
    Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
    The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
    LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
    To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

  • Genesis 7, 8
    And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
    Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
    Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
    For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
    And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
    And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
    And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
    Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
    There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
    And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
    In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
    And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
    In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
    They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
    And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
    And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
    And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
    And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
    And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
    Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
    And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
    All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
    And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
    And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
    And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
    The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
    And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
    And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
    And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
    And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
    And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
    Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of

  • Matthew 5
    And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
    And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
    Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
    Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
    Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
    Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
    Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
    Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
    Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
    Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
    Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
    Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
    Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
    Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
    Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
    For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
    Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
    For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
    Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
    But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
    Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
    Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
    Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
    Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
    Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
    But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
    And 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.
    And 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.
    It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
    But 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.

  • Psalms 6,7,8
    O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
    Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
    My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
    Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
    For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
    I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
    Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
    Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
    The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
    Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
    O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
    Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
    O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
    If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
    Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
    Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
    So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
    The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
    Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
    My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
    God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
    If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
    He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
    Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
    He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
    His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
    I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
    O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
    Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
    When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
    What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
    For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
    Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
    All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
    The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
    O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

    This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
    Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
    And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

  • Psalms 3,4,5
    Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
    Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
    But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
    I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
    I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
    I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
    Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
    Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
    Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
    O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
    But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
    Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
    Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
    There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
    Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
    I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
    Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
    Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
    My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
    For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
    The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
    Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
    But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
    Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
    For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
    Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
    But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
    For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
