James 5:13-16

The Prayer of Faith

¹³Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.^(A) Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.^(B) ¹⁴Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders^(C) of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil^(D) in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵And the prayer offered in faith^(E) will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. ¹⁶Therefore confess your sins^(F) to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.^(G) The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.^(H)

Psalm 114

¹When Israel came out of Egypt,^(P)
Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
²Judah^(Q) became God’s sanctuary,^(R)
Israel his dominion.

³The sea looked and fled,^(S)
the Jordan turned back;^(T)
⁴the mountains leaped^(U) like rams,
the hills like lambs.

⁵Why was it, sea, that you fled?^(V)
Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
⁶Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
you hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, earth,^(W) at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸who turned the rock into a pool,
the hard rock into springs of water.^(X)
