PSALM
Psalm 15

PSALM 15

  A Psalm of David.

     1O LORD, who may abide in Your tent?
     Who may dwell on Your holy hill?
     2He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness,
     And speaks truth in his heart.
     3He does not slander with his tongue,
     Nor does evil to his neighbor,
     Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
     4In whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
     But who honors those who fear the LORD;
     He swears to his own hurt and does not change;
     5He does not put out his money at interest,
     Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
     He who does these things will never be shaken.

FIRST READING
Micah 3:1–4

1And I said,
     “Hear now, heads of Jacob
     And rulers of the house of Israel.
     Is it not for you to know justice?
     2“You who hate good and love evil,
     Who tear off their skin from them
     And their flesh from their bones,
     3Who eat the flesh of my people,
     Strip off their skin from them,
     Break their bones
     And chop them up as for the pot
     And as meat in a kettle.”
     4Then they will cry out to the LORD,
     But He will not answer them.
     Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time
     Because they have practiced evil deeds.

SECOND READING
John 13:31–35
31Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God 1is glorified in Him;
32if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.
33“Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
