New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
and all your faithful shall bless you.(A)
11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
and tell of your power,
12 to make known to all people your[a] mighty deeds
and the glorious splendor of your[b] kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
The Lord is faithful in all his words
and gracious in all his deeds.[c](B)
14 The Lord upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.(C)
15 The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.(D)
16 You open your hand,
satisfying the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord is just in all his ways
and kind in all his doings.
18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.(E)
19 He fulfills the desire of all who fear him;
he also hears their cry and saves them.(F)
20 The Lord watches over all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.(G)
21 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever.

Jesus Walks on the Water
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.(A) 46 After saying farewell to them, he went up on the mountain to pray.
47 When evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 When he saw that they were straining at the oars against an adverse wind, he came toward them early in the morning, walking on the sea. He intended to pass them by.(B) 49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out, 50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”(C) 51 Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,(D) 52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.(E)
Healing the Sick in Gennesaret
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat.(F) 54 When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him 55 and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.(G)
