Ps. 16:1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
115:2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9O Israel, trust thou in the Lord:
I Cor. 15:33Be not deceived:
48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
