Psalm 138:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶^(A)For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
but the haughty he knows from afar.

⁷^(B)Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
    you ^(C)preserve my life;
you ^(D)stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
    and your ^(E)right hand delivers me.
⁸The Lord will ^(F)fulfill his purpose for me;
    ^(G)your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.

John 14:8-14

English Standard Version

⁸^(A)Philip said to him, “Lord, ^(B)show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^(C)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Do you not believe that ^(D)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^(E)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹Believe me that ^(F)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^(G)believe on account of the works themselves.

¹²“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(H)whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I ^(I)am going to the Father. ¹³^(J)Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that ^(K)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴^(L)If you ask me^[a] anything in my name, I will do it.

Revelation 9:13-21

English Standard Version

¹³Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from ^(A)the four horns of the golden altar before God, ¹⁴saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release ^(B)the four angels who are bound at ^(C)the great river Euphrates.” ¹⁵So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released ^(D)to kill a third of mankind. ¹⁶The number of ^(E)mounted troops was ^(F)twice ten thousand times ten thousand; ^(G)I heard their number. ¹⁷And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire^[a] and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were ^(H)like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. ¹⁸By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. ¹⁹For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.

²⁰The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, ^(I)did not repent of ^(J)the works of their hands nor give up worshiping ^(K)demons ^(L)and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, ²¹nor did they repent of their murders or their ^(M)sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
