PSALM XV.

LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh the truth in his heart.

He that backbiteth not with his tongue,

Nor doeth evil to his neighbour,

Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned;

But he honoureth them that fear the LORD.
He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

He that putteth not out his money to usury,
Nor taketh reward against the innocent.

He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

PSALM XVI.

PRESERVE me, O GOD:

For in thee do I put my trust.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, 'THOU art my LORD: '

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:

THOU maintainest my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;
Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel :
My reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the LORD always before me:

Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:

My flesh also shall rest in hope.

For THOU wilt not leave my soul in hell;

Neither wilt THOU suffer thine HOLY ONE to see cor

ruption.

THOU wilt show me the path of life :

In thy presence is fulness of joy;

At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

PSALM XIX.

THE heavens declare the glory of GOD;
And the firmament showeth his handy work.
Day unto day uttereth speech,

And night unto night showeth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language,

Where their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them hath HE set a tabernacle for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven,
And his circuit unto the ends of it:

And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the

eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:

The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much

fine gold:

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
And in keeping of them there is great reward.

Who can understand his errors ?

Cleanse THOU me from secret faults.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me:

Then shall I be upright,

And I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,

Be acceptable in thy sight,

O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

PSALM XXIII.

THE LORD is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

HE leadeth me beside the still waters.

HE restoreth my soul:

HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

THE earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein.

For HE hath founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD?
Or who shall stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;

Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive the blessing from the LORD,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;
And the KING of GLORY shall come in.

Who is this KING of GLORY?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
Even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;
And the KING of GLORY shall come in.

Who is this KING of GLORY?

The LORD of HOSTS, he is the KING of GLORY.

PSALM XXXIV.

I WILL bless the LORD at all times:
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:

The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
O magnify the LORD with me,

And let us exalt his name together.

I sought the LORD, and HE heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were lightened:

And their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,

And saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,

And delivereth them.

O taste and see that the LORD is good:
Blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
O fear the LORD, ye his saints:

For there is no want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:

But they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me :

I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

What man is he that desireth life,

And loveth many days, that he may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil,

And thy lips from speaking guile.

Depart from evil, and do good;

Seek peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry.

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil,
