Luke 7:11-17
English Standard Version
Jesus Raises a Widow's Son
11 Soon afterward[a] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, (A)the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, (B)he had compassion on her and (C)said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched (D)the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, (E)arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus[b] (F)gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized them all, and (G)they glorified God, saying, (H)“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and (I)“God has visited his people!” 17 And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.

Psalm 123-124
English Standard Version
Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God
A Song of (A)Ascents.
123 To you I (B)lift up my eyes,
O you who are (C)enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
3 (D)Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of (E)contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enough
of (F)the scorn of (G)those who are at ease,
of the contempt of (H)the proud.
Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord
A Song of (I)Ascents. Of David.
124 (J)If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
(K)let Israel now say—
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have (L)swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then (M)the flood would have (N)swept us away,
the torrent would have gone (O)over us;
5 then over us would have gone
the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird
from (P)the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!
8 (Q)Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
