Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord

A Psalm.

98 Oh sing to the Lord (A)a new song,
    for he has done (B)marvelous things!
His (C)right hand and his holy arm
    have worked salvation for him.
The Lord has (D)made known his salvation;
    he has (E)revealed his righteousness in (F)the sight of the nations.
He has (G)remembered his (H)steadfast love and faithfulness
    to the house of Israel.
All (I)the ends of the earth have seen
    (J)the salvation of our God.

(K)Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
    (L)break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
    with the lyre and the (M)sound of melody!
With (N)trumpets and the sound of (O)the horn
    (P)make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

(Q)Let the sea roar, and (R)all that fills it;
    (S)the world and those who dwell in it!
Let the rivers (T)clap their hands;
    let (U)the hills sing for joy together
before the Lord, for he comes
    to (V)judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
    and the peoples with equity.

A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, (A)“Give me a drink.” (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ((B)For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you (C)living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 (D)Are you greater than our father Jacob? (E)He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but (F)whoever drinks of the water that I will give him (G)will never be thirsty again.[a] The water that I will give him will become (H)in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, (I)give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Go, (J)call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that (K)you are (L)a prophet. 20 (M)Our fathers worshiped on (N)this mountain, but you say that (O)in Jerusalem is (P)the place where people ought to worship.” 21 Jesus said to her, (Q)“Woman, believe me, (R)the hour is coming when (S)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 (T)You worship what you do not know; (U)we worship what we know, for (V)salvation is (W)from the Jews. 23 But (X)the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (Y)in spirit and (Z)truth, for the Father (AA)is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that (AB)Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, (AC)he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, (AD)“I who speak to you am he.”
