Psalm 79

New King James Version

A Dirge and a Prayer for Israel, Destroyed by Enemies

A Psalm of Asaph.

79 O God, the ^[a]nations have come into ^(A)Your inheritance;
Your holy temple they have defiled;
^(B)They have laid Jerusalem ^[b]in heaps.
²^(C)The dead bodies of Your servants
They have given as food for the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
³Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem,
And there was no one to bury them.
⁴We have become a reproach to our ^(D)neighbors,
A scorn and derision to those who are around us.

⁵^(E)How long, Lord?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your ^(F)jealousy burn like fire?
⁶^(G)Pour out Your wrath on the ^[c]nations that ^(H)do not know You,
And on the kingdoms that ^(I)do not call on Your name.
⁷For they have devoured Jacob,
And laid waste his dwelling place.

⁸^(J)Oh, do not remember ^[d]former iniquities against us!
Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,
For we have been brought very low.
⁹Help us, O God of our salvation,
For the glory of Your name;
And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,
^(K)For Your name’s sake!
¹⁰^(L)Why should the ^[e]nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Let there be known among the nations in our sight
The avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

¹¹Let ^(M)the groaning of the prisoner come before You;
According to the greatness of Your ^[f]power
Preserve those who are appointed to die;
¹²And return to our neighbors ^(N)sevenfold into their bosom
^(O)Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

¹³So ^(P)we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture,
Will give You thanks forever;
^(Q)We will show forth Your praise to all generations.

Micah 4:1-5

New King James Version

The Lord’s Reign in Zion^(A)

4 Now ^(B)it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And peoples shall flow to it.
²Many nations shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
³He shall judge between many peoples,
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
They shall beat their swords into ^(C)plowshares,
And their spears into ^[a]pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
^(D)Neither shall they learn war anymore.

⁴^(E)But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,
And no one shall make them afraid;
For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
⁵For all people walk each in the name of his god,
But ^(F)we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
Forever and ever.

Revelation 15

New King James Version

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments

15 Then ^(A)I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: ^(B)seven angels having the seven last plagues, ^(C)for in them the wrath of God is complete.

²And I saw something like ^(D)a sea of glass ^(E)mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, ^(F)over his image and ^[a]over his mark and over the ^(G)number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, ^(H)having harps of God. ³They sing ^(I)the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the ^(J)Lamb, saying:

^(K)“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
^(L)Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the ^[b]saints!
⁴^(M)Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are ^(N)holy.
For ^(O)all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”

⁵After these things I looked, and ^[c]behold, ^(P)the ^[d]temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. ⁶And out of the ^[e]temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, ^(Q)clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. ⁷^(R)Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God ^(S)who lives forever and ever. ⁸^(T)The temple was filled with smoke ^(U)from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
