5:1 For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

5:3 O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5:5 The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

5:6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

5:7 But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

5:8 Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

5:9 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.

5:10 Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

5:11 But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

5:12 For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.

3:1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judæa, saying,

3:2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3:3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.

3:4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

3:5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about the Jordan;

3:6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

3:8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:

3:9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

3:10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

3:11 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:

3:12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
