Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
