12How thou deliverest them that wait for thee, O Lord, and savest them out of the hands of the nations.

13Thou hast exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away.

14I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my trouble, and in the time of the proud without help.

15I will praise thy name continually, and will praise it with thanksgiving, and my prayer was heard.

16And thou hast saved me from destruction, and hast delivered me from the evil time.

17Therefore I will give thanks, and praise thee, and bless the name of the Lord.

18When I was yet young, before I wandered about, I sought for wisdom openly in my prayer.

19I prayed for her before the temple, and unto the very end I will seek after her, and she flourished as a grape soon ripe.

20My heart delighted in her, my foot walked in the right way, from my youth up I sought after her.

8The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.

9The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.

10The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

11More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

16Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly: in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God.

17All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

27And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

28And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?

29And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word. And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.

31But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

32If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

33And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
