Book of Common Prayer
8 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world; Who has set Your Glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of children and infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies; that You might cease the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I behold Your heavens, the works of Your fingers; the moon and the stars which You have ordained,
4 what is man that You are mindful of him; and the son of man that You seek him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than God and crowned him with glory and worship.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands. You have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen; indeed, and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air and the fish of the sea; that which passes through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world! To him who excels upon Muth Labben: A Psalm of David.
47 All people, clap your hands! Sing loud to God with a joyful voice!
2 For the LORD is high and terrible, a great King over all the Earth.
3 He has subdued the people under us and the nations under our feet.
4 He has chosen our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom He loved. Selah.
5 God has gone up with triumph, the LORD with the sound of the trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God! Sing praises! Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!
7 For God is the King of all the Earth. Sing praises with understanding.
8 God reigns over the heathen. God sits upon His Holy Throne.
9 The princes of the people are gathered to the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the world belong to God. He is greatly exalted! A song or Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.
24 The Earth is the LORD’s and all that therein is, the world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the Mountain of the LORD? And who shall stand in His Holy Place?
4 He who has innocent hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his mind to vanity nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, of those who seek Your face. This is Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates. And be lifted up, you everlasting doors. And the King of Glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of Glory: The LORD, strong and mighty. The LORD, mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates. And lift up yourselves, you everlasting doors. And the King of Glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of Glory: The LORD of Hosts. He is the King of Glory. Selah. A Psalm of David.
96 Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD all the Earth!
2 Sing to the LORD! Praise His Name! Declare His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His Glory among all nations, His wonders among all people.
4 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the people are idols. But the LORD made the heavens.
6 Strength and glory are before Him. Power and beauty are in His Sanctuary.
7 Give to the LORD, you families of the people! Give to the LORD glory and power!
8 Give to the LORD the glory of His Name. Bring an offering and enter into His courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the glorious Sanctuary. Tremble before Him, all the Earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” Surely, the world shall be stable and not move; and He shall judge the people in righteousness.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the Earth be glad! Let the sea roar, and all that therein is.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it! Let all the trees of the wood then rejoice
13 before the LORD. For He comes. For He comes to judge the Earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the people in His truth.
1 It happened at that time, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month (as I was among the captives by the river Chebar) that the heavens were opened; and I saw visions of God.
2 On the fifth day of the month (which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity),
3 the Word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, where the Hand of the LORD was upon him.
4 And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind came out of the North, a great cloud and a fire wrapped about it. And a brightness surrounded it. And in the midst of it, in the midst of the fire, the likeness of amber came out.
5 Also out of its midst came the likeness of four beasts. And this was their form: they had the appearance of a man.
6 And each one had four faces. And each one had four wings.
7 And their feet were straight feet. And the sole of their feet was like the soles of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled like the appearance of bright bronze.
8 And the hands of a man came out from under their wings, in the four parts of them. And those four had their faces and their wings.
9 They were joined, by their wings, to one another. When they went forth, they did not return. Each one went straight forward.
10 And the likeness of their faces was as the face of a man. And those four had the face of a lion on the right side. And those four had the face of a bull on the left side. Those four also had the face of an eagle.
11 Thus were their faces. But their wings were spread out above. Two of each one were joined to each other and two covered their bodies.
12 And each one went straight forward. They went wherever their spirit led them. They did not return when they went forth.
13 As for the likeness of the beasts, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps running among the beasts. And the fire had a brightness. And the fire went out of the lightning.
14 And the beasts ran and returned, like lightning.
24 And when they went forth, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the Voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an army. When they stood, they let down their wings.
25 And when they stood and had let down their wings, there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the appearance of a throne, like a Sapphire stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 And I saw the likeness of amber, and the likeness of fire, all around and within it, from his loins upward, as well as from his loins downward. I saw a likeness of fire and brightness all around it.
28 As the likeness of the rainbow that is in the clouds on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the light all around.
5 For He has not put the world to come (whereof we speak) in subjection to the angels.
6 But one in a certain place witnessed, saying, “What is man that You should be mindful of him; or the son of man that You would consider him?
7 “You made him a little inferior to the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor and have set him above the works of Your Hands.
8 “You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” And in that He has put all things in subjection under him, He left nothing that should not be subject to him. But we still do not see all things subjected to him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made little inferior to the angels, crowned with glory and honor through the suffering of death. That by God’s grace He might taste death for everyone.
10 For it became Him for Whom all these things are - and by Whom all these things are (seeing that He brought many children to Glory) - that He should consecrate the Author of their salvation through afflictions.
11 For He Who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all of One. Therefore, He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12 saying, “I will declare Your Name to My brothers. In the midst of the Church I will sing praises to You.”
13 And again, “I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “Behold, here I am, and the children whom God has given Me.”
14 So then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he himself also took part with them, so that He might destroy (through death) him who had the power of death (namely, the Devil).
15 And that He might deliver all those who, for fear of death, were subject to bondage all their lifetime.
16 For He in no way took on the nature of angels, but He took on the seed of Abraham.
17 Therefore it was fitting for him to be made like his brothers in all things, so that He might be merciful, and a faithful High Priest in things concerning God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.
16 Then the eleven disciples went into Galilee, and to a mountain where Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him. But some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All power is given to Me, in Heaven and on Earth.
19 “Go, therefore, and disciple all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost,
20 “teaching them to observe all things, whatever I have Commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, until the end of the age. Amen.”
