Deliverance in Battle
For the choir director. A psalm of David.
1 May the Lord answer you in a day of trouble;(A)
may the name of Jacob’s God protect you.(B)

and sustain you from Zion.(C)

and accept your burnt offering.(D)Selah

and lift the banner in the name of our God.(H)
May the Lord fulfill all your requests.(I)
6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed;(J)
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with mighty victories from his right hand.(K)

but we take pride in the name of the Lord our God.(L)
8 They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand firm.(M)

May he[a] answer us on the day that we call.

The Transfiguration
2 After(A) six days(B) Jesus took Peter, James, and John(C) and led them up a high mountain(D) by themselves to be alone. He was transfigured(E) in front of them, 3 and his clothes(F) became dazzling—extremely white(G) as no launderer on earth could whiten(H) them. 4 Elijah(I) appeared to them with Moses,(J) and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(K) it’s good(L) for us to be here. Let’s set up three shelters:(M) one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— 6 because he did not know what to say,(N) since they were terrified.(O)
7 A cloud(P) appeared, overshadowing(Q) them, and a voice(R) came from the cloud:(S) “This is my beloved(T) Son;(U) listen to him!” (V)
8 Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 As(W) they were coming down the mountain,(X) he ordered them to tell no one what they had seen(Y) until the Son of Man(Z) had risen(AA) from the dead.(AB) 10 They kept this word(AC) to themselves, questioning what “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes(AD) say that Elijah must come first?” (AE)
12 “Elijah does come first and restores(AF) all things,”(AG) he replied. “Why then is it written(AH) that the Son of Man must suffer(AI) many things and be treated with contempt?(AJ) 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they pleased to him, just as it is written(AK) about him.”
