Psalm 119:49-56
English Standard Version Anglicised
Zayin
49 Remember (A)your word to your servant,
in which you have made me (B)hope.
50 This is (C)my comfort in my affliction,
that your promise (D)gives me life.
51 (E)The insolent utterly deride me,
but I do not (F)turn away from your law.
52 When I think of your rules from of old,
I take comfort, O Lord.
53 (G)Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked,
who forsake your law.
54 Your statutes have been my songs
in the house of my (H)sojourning.
55 I (I)remember your name in the night, O Lord,
and keep your law.
56 This blessing has fallen to me,
that (J)I have kept your precepts.
Romans 15:4-13
English Standard Version Anglicised
4 For (A)whatever was written in former days was written for our (B)instruction, that through endurance and through (C)the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you (D)to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify (E)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (F)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (G)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (H)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(I)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(J)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(K)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(L)(M)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(N)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all (O)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
