Psalms 36

• 1. An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
• 2. For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
• 3. The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
• 4. Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.
• 5. Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
• 6. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
• 7. How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
• 8. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
• 9. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
• 10. Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
• 11. May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
• 12. See how the evildoers lie fallen- thrown down, not able to rise!

Ecclesiastes 12

• 1. Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-
• 2. before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain;
• 3. when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim;
• 4. when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint;
• 5. when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets.
• 6. Remember him-before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well,
• 7. and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
• 8. "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!"
• 9. Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.
• 10. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.
• 11. The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails-given by one Shepherd.
• 12. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
• 13. Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
• 14. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
