¹ {To the chanter, a Psalm of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he was gone in to Bathsheba} Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness; according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences. ² Wash me well from my wickedness, and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I acknowledge my faults, and my sin is ever before me. ⁴ Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and clear when thou shalt judge. ⁵ Behold, I was born in wickedness, and in sin hath my mother conceived me. ⁶ But lo, thou hast a pleasure in the truth, and hast showed me secret wisdom. ⁷ Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. ⁸ Oh let me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. ⁹ Turn thy face from my sins, and put out all my misdeeds. ¹⁰ Make in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. ¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy spirit from me. ¹² O give me the comfort of thy help again, and establish me with thy free spirit. ¹³ Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, that sinners may be converted unto thee. ¹⁴ Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health; that my tongue may praise thy righteousness. ¹⁵ Open my lips, O LORD, that my mouth may show thy praise. ¹⁶ For if thou hadst pleasure in sacrifice, I would give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. ¹⁷ The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise. ¹⁸ O be favourable and gracious unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ For then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations; then shall they lay bullocks upon thine altar.

¹ Now will I sing my beloved friend a song of his vineyard. My beloved friend hath a vineyard in a very fruitful plenteous ground. ² This he hedged, this he walled round about, and planted it with goodly grapes. In the midst of it builded he a tower, and made a wine press therein. And afterward when he looked that it should bring him grapes, it brought forth thorns. ³ I show you now my cause, O ye Citizens of Jerusalem and whole Judah: Judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. ⁴ What more could have been done for it, that I have not done? Wherefore than hath it given thorns, where I looked to have had grapes of it? ⁵ Well, now I shall tell you how I will do with my vineyard: I will take the hedge from it, that it may perish, and break down the wall, that it may be trodden under foot. ⁶ I will lay it waste, that it shall neither be twisted nor cut, but bear thorns and briers. I will also forbid the clouds, that they shall not rain upon it. ⁷ As for the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts, it is the house of Israel, and whole Judah his fair planting. Of these he looked for equity, but see there is wrong; for righteousness, lo, it is but misery.

³³ "Hearken another similitude. There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange country: ³⁴ And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it, ³⁵ and the husbandmen caught his servants, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first, and they served them likewise. ³⁷ But last of all, he sent unto them his own son, saying, 'They will fear my son.' ³⁸ But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir: come on, let us kill him, and let us take his inheritance, to ourselves.' ³⁹ And they caught him, and thrust him out of the vineyard, and slew him. ⁴⁰ When the Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with those husbandmen?" ⁴¹ They said unto him, He will cruelly destroy those evil persons; and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall deliver him the fruit at times convenient. ⁴² Jesus said unto them, "Did ye never read in the scriptures? 'The same stone which the builders refused, the same is set in the principal part of the corner: this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.' ⁴³ Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to the Gentiles, which shall bring forth the fruits of it. ⁴⁴ And whosoever shall fall on this stone, he shall be alto broken. But on whosoever it shall fall upon, it will grind him to powder." ⁴⁵ And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard these similitudes, they perceived that he spake of them.

¹¹ And he said, "A certain man had two sons, ¹² and the younger of them said to his father, father, give me my part of the goods that to me belongeth. And he divided unto them his substance. ¹³ And not long after, the younger son gathered all that he had together, and took his journey into a far country, and there he wasted his goods with riotous living. ¹⁴ And when he had spent all that he had, there rose a great dearth throughout all that same land. And he began to lack. ¹⁵ And he went, and clave to a citizen of that same country, which sent him to his field, to keep his swine. ¹⁶ And he would fain have filled his belly with the cods, that the swine ate: and no man gave him. ¹⁷ Then he came to himself and said, 'How many hired servants at my father's have bread enough, and I die for hunger. ¹⁸ I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, ¹⁹ and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.' ²⁰ And he arose, and went to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran unto him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹ And the son said unto him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy henceforth to be called thy son.' ²² But his father said to his servants, 'Bring forth that best garment, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. ²³ And bring hither that fatted calf, and kill him, and let us eat and be merry: ²⁴ for this my son was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is now found.' And they began to be merry. ²⁵ The elder brother was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard minstrelsy, and dancing, ²⁶ and called one of his servants, and asked what those things meant. ²⁷ And he said unto him, 'Thy brother is come, and thy father had killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.' ²⁸ And he was angry, and would not go in. Then came his father out, and entreated him. ²⁹ He answered, and said to his father, 'Lo these many years have I done thee service, neither brake at any time thy commandment, and yet gavest thou me never so much as a kid to make merry with my lovers: ³⁰ but as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy goods with harlots, thou hast for his pleasure killed the fatted calf.' ³¹ And he said unto him, 'Son, thou wast ever with me, and all that I have is thine: ³² it was mete that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again: and was lost, and is found.'"

¹⁹ "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple, and fine bysse, and fared deliciously every day. ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, which lay at his gate full of sores, ²¹ desiring to be refreshed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's board. Nevertheless, the dogs came, and licked his sores. ²² And it fortuned that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: The rich man also died, and was buried in hell. ²³ And being in hell, in torments, he lift up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom; ²⁴ And he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.' ²⁵ But Abraham said unto him, 'Son remember, that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy pleasure, and contrariwise, Lazarus pain. Now therefore is he comforted, and thou art punished. ²⁶ Beyond all this, between you and us there is a great space set, so that they which would go from hence to you, cannot: neither may come from thence to us.' ²⁷ Then he said, 'I pray thee therefore father, send him to my father's house. ²⁸ For I have five brethren: for to warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' ²⁹ Abraham said unto him, 'They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.' ³⁰ And he said, 'Nay, father Abraham, but if one came unto them from the dead they would repent.' ³¹ He said unto him, 'If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, though one rose from death again.'"
