Psalm 145:10-18
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)
Ephesians 2:13-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.(A) 14 For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us,(B) 15 abolishing the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace,(C) 16 and might reconcile both to God in one body[a] through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it.[b](D) 17 So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, 18 for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father.(E) 19 So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God,(F) 20 built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone;[c](G) 21 in him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord,(H) 22 in whom you also are built together spiritually[d] into a dwelling place for God.
