“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.(A) 10 You shall not strip your vineyard bare or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the Lord your God.

11 “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; and you shall not lie to one another.(B) 12 And you shall not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God: I am the Lord.(C)

13 “You shall not defraud your neighbor; you shall not steal; and you shall not keep for yourself the wages of a laborer until morning.(D) 14 You shall not revile the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind; you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.(E)

15 “You shall not render an unjust judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbor.(F) 16 You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand idly by when the blood[a] of your neighbor is at stake: I am the Lord.(G)

17 “You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself.(H) 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.(I)

Psalm 24

Entrance into the Temple

Of David. A Psalm.

The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
    the world, and those who live in it,(A)
for he has founded it on the seas
    and established it on the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
    And who shall stand in his holy place?(B)
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
    who do not lift up their souls to what is false
    and do not swear deceitfully.(C)
They will receive blessing from the Lord
    and vindication from the God of their salvation.(D)
Such is the company of those who seek him,
    who seek the face of the God of Jacob.[a] Selah
