Restore Us, O God

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Lilies. A Testimony. Of ^(B)Asaph, a Psalm.

13 ^(A)“On that day there shall be ^(B)a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.

Idolatry Cut Off

² “And ^(C)on that day, declares the Lord of hosts, ^(D)I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that ^(E)they shall be remembered no more. And also ^(F)I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. ³ And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ^(G)‘You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies.

⁴ “On that day ^(H)every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive, ⁵ but he will say, ^(I)‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth.’^{[a] 6} And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’^[b] he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.’

The Shepherd Struck

The Messages of the Three Angels

⁶ Then I saw another angel ^(A)flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to ^(B)those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. ⁷ And he said with a loud voice, ^(C)“Fear God and ^(D)give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and ^(E)worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the ^(F)springs of water.”

⁸ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, ^(G)“Fallen, fallen is ^(H)Babylon the great, ^(I)she who made all nations drink ^(J)the wine of the passion^[a] of her sexual immorality.”

⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone ^(K)worships the beast and its image and receives ^(L)a mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he also will drink ^(M)the wine of God's wrath, ^(N)poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and ^(O)he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And ^(P)the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and ^(Q)they have no rest, day or night, these ^(R)worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”

^12 (S)Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who ^(T)keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.^[b]

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: ^(U)Blessed are the dead ^(V)who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, ^(W)“that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
