2Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob. 3Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments. 4Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity, 5for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob. 6He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know. 7He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have examined me, and you have known me. 2You have known my sitting down and my rising up again. 3You have understood my thoughts from afar. My path and my fate, you have investigated. 4And you have foreseen all my ways. For there is no word in my tongue. 5Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me. 6Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it.
1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John;
7when the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful noise?
1Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth.
1It is a faithful saying: if a man desires the episcopate, he desires a good work. 2Therefore, it is necessary for a bishop to be beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, gracious, chaste, hospitable, a teacher, 3not a drunkard, not combative but restrained, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4but a man who leads his own house well, having children who are subordinate with all chastity. 5For if a man does not know how to lead his own house, how will he take care of the Church of God? 6He must not be a new convert, lest, being elated by pride, he may fall under the sentence of the devil.
16Let the word of Christ live in you in abundance, with all wisdom, teaching and correcting one another, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing to God with the grace in your hearts.
31Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate. 32And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah, 33and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah. 34And some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph. 35And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate. 36And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to the east.
15Be solicitous in the task of presenting yourself before God as a proven and unashamed worker who has handled the Word of Truth correctly.
1Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence. 2But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night. 3And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper. 4Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth. 5Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just. 6For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.

40But let everything be done respectfully and according to proper order.
