Jeremiah 33:14-18

English Standard Version

The Lord's Eternal Covenant with David

¹⁴^(A)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when ^(B)I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. ¹⁵In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous ^(C)Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. ¹⁶In those days Judah will be saved, ^(D)and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: ^(E)‘The Lord is our righteousness.’

¹⁷“For thus says the Lord: ^(F)David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, ¹⁸^(G)and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”

English Standard Version

¹¹Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you ^(A)to wake from sleep. ^(B)For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. ¹²^(C)The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us ^(D)cast off ^(E)the works of darkness and ^(F)put on the armor of light. ¹³^(G)Let us walk properly as in the daytime, ^(H)not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, ^(I)not in quarreling and jealousy. ¹⁴But ^(J)put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, ^(K)to gratify its desires.

Matthew 21:1-9

English Standard Version

The Triumphal Entry

21 ^(A)Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to ^(B)the Mount of Olives, then Jesus ^(C)sent two disciples, ²saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. ³If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” ⁴This took place ^(D)to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

⁵^(E)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
^(F)humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt,^[a] the foal of a beast of burden.’”

⁶The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. ⁷They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. ⁸Most of the crowd ^(G)spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, ^(H)“Hosanna to ^(I)the Son of David! ^(J)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna ^(K)in the highest!”

The King of Glory

A Psalm of David.

24 ^(A)The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,^[a]
the world and those who dwell therein,
²for he has ^(B)founded it upon ^(C)the seas
and established it upon the rivers.

³^(D)Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
    And who shall stand in his ^(E)holy place?
⁴^(F)He who has ^(G)clean hands and ^(H)a pure heart,
    who does not ^(I)lift up his soul to ^(J)what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.
⁵He will receive ^(K)blessing from the Lord
    and ^(L)righteousness from ^(M)the God of his salvation.
⁶Such is ^(N)the generation of those who seek him,
    who ^(O)seek the face of the God of Jacob.^[b] Selah

⁷^(P)Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
    that ^(Q)the King of glory may come in.
⁸Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, ^(R)mighty in battle!
⁹Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And lift them up, O ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
¹⁰Who is this King of glory?
    ^(S)The Lord of hosts,
    he is the King of glory! Selah
