Psalm 56

New International Version

Psalm 56^[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam.^[b] When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

¹Be merciful to me,^(A) my God,
    for my enemies are in hot pursuit;^(B)
    all day long they press their attack.^(C)
²My adversaries pursue me all day long;^(D)
    in their pride many are attacking me.^(E)

³When I am afraid,^(F) I put my trust in you.^(G)
⁴ In God, whose word I praise—^(H)
in God I trust and am not afraid.^(I)
What can mere mortals do to me?^(J)

⁵All day long they twist my words;^(K)
    all their schemes are for my ruin.
⁶They conspire,^(L) they lurk,
    they watch my steps,^(M)
    hoping to take my life.^(N)
⁷Because of their wickedness do not^[c] let them escape;^(O)
    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.^(P)

⁸Record my misery;
    list my tears on your scroll^[d]^(Q)—
    are they not in your record?^(R)
⁹Then my enemies will turn back^(S)
    when I call for help.^(T)
    By this I will know that God is for me.^(U)

¹⁰In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
¹¹in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?

¹²I am under vows^(V) to you, my God;
    I will present my thank offerings to you.
¹³For you have delivered me from death^(W)
    and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
    in the light of life.^(X)

Daniel 9:1-19

New International Version

Daniel’s Prayer

9 In the first year of Darius^(A) son of Xerxes^[a]^(B) (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian^[b] kingdom— ²in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy^(C) years. ³So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting,^(D) and in sackcloth and ashes.^(E)

⁴I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:^(F)

“Lord, the great and awesome God,^(G) who keeps his covenant of love^(H) with those who love him and keep his commandments, ⁵we have sinned^(I) and done wrong.^(J) We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away^(K) from your commands and laws.^(L) ⁶We have not listened^(M) to your servants the prophets,^(N) who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors,^(O) and to all the people of the land.

⁷“Lord, you are righteous,^(P) but this day we are covered with shame^(Q)—the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered^(R) us because of our unfaithfulness^(S) to you.^(T) ⁸We and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against you.^(U) ⁹The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving,^(V) even though we have rebelled against him;^(W) ¹⁰we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.^(X) ¹¹All Israel has transgressed^(Y) your law^(Z) and turned away, refusing to obey you.

“Therefore the curses^(AA) and sworn judgments^(AB) written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned^(AC) against you. ¹²You have fulfilled^(AD) the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great disaster.^(AE) Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like^(AF) what has been done to Jerusalem.^(AG) ¹³Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord^(AH) our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth.^(AI) ¹⁴The Lord did not hesitate to bring the disaster^(AJ) on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in everything he does;^(AK) yet we have not obeyed him.^(AL)

¹⁵“Now, Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand^(AM) and who made for yourself a name^(AN) that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. ¹⁶Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts,^(AO) turn away^(AP) your anger and your wrath^(AQ) from Jerusalem,^(AR) your city, your holy hill.^(AS) Our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn^(AT) to all those around us.

¹⁷“Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor^(AU) on your desolate sanctuary. ¹⁸Give ear,^(AV) our God, and hear;^(AW) open your eyes and see^(AX) the desolation of the city that bears your Name.^(AY) We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.^(AZ) ¹⁹Lord, listen! Lord, forgive!^(BA) Lord, hear and act! For your sake,^(BB) my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”

The Seventh Trumpet

¹⁵The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,^(A) and there were loud voices^(B) in heaven, which said:

“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,^(C)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”^(D)

¹⁶And the twenty-four elders,^(E) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces^(F) and worshiped God, ¹⁷saying:

“We give thanks^(G) to you, Lord God Almighty,^(H)
    the One who is and who was,^(I)
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.^(J)
¹⁸The nations were angry,^(K)
    and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,^(L)
    and for rewarding your servants the prophets^(M)
and your people who revere your name,
    both great and small^(N)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

¹⁹Then God’s temple^(O) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.^(P) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,^(Q) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.^(R)
