Psalm 11:4

4 (A)The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord's (B)throne is in heaven;
his eyes see, his eyelids (C)test the children of man.
Daniel 5:20-28
English Standard Version
20 But (A)when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, (B)he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 (C)He was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (D)until he knew that the (E)Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son,[a] (F)Belshazzar, (G)have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against (H)the Lord of heaven. And (I)the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. (J)And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, (K)but the God in whose hand is your breath, and (L)whose are all your ways, (M)you have not honored.
24 “Then from his presence (N)the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. 25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered[b] the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; 27 Tekel, (O)you have been weighed[c] in the balances and found wanting; 28 Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to (P)the Medes and (Q)Persians.”[d]

enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
(E)and his dominion shall be (F)to the end.

28 “‘I know your sitting down
and your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.
29 (A)Because you have raged against me
and your complacency has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and (B)I will turn you back on the way
by which you came.’
Isaiah 10:7-16
English Standard Version
7 But he (A)does not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;
8 for he says:
(B)“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 (C)Is not (D)Calno like (E)Carchemish?
Is not (F)Hamath like (G)Arpad?
(H)Is not (I)Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to (J)the kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and (K)her idols
(L)as I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 (M)When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, (N)he[a] will punish the speech[b] of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 (O)For he says:
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14 My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”
15 Shall (P)the axe boast over him who hews with it,
or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts
will send wasting sickness among his (Q)stout warriors,
and under his glory (R)a burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.

Psalm 73:3-12
English Standard Version
4 For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not (D)stricken like the rest of mankind.
6 Therefore pride is (E)their necklace;
violence covers them as (F)a garment.
7 Their (G)eyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and (H)speak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find (I)no fault in them.[a]
11 And they say, (J)“How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they (K)increase in riches.

To the choirmaster. A Maskil[a] of David, when (A)Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
