Book of Common Prayer
85 LORD, You have been favorable to Your land. You have brought back the captives of Jacob.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people and covered all their sins. Selah.
3 You have withdrawn all Your anger and have turned back from the fierceness of Your wrath.
4 Turn us, O God of Our Salvation, and release Your anger toward us.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your wrath from one generation to another?
6 Will You not turn again and quicken us, so that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Show us Your mercy, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8 I will listen to what the LORD God will say. For He will speak peace to His people, and to His saints, so that they do not turn again to folly.
9 Surely, His salvation is near to those who fear Him, so that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth shall meet, righteousness and peace shall kiss.
11 Truth shall bud out of the Earth and righteousness shall look down from Heaven.
12 Indeed, the LORD shall give good things and our land shall give her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him and shall set her steps in the way. A prayer of David
86 Bow down Your ear, O LORD, and hear me; for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am merciful. My God, save Your servant who trusts in You.
3 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I cry upon You continually.
4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant. For to You, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
5 For You, LORD, are good and merciful and of great kindness to all those who call upon You.
6 Give ear, LORD, to my prayer and pay attention to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble, I will call upon You; for You hear me.
8 Among the gods there is none like You, O LORD; and there are none like Your works.
9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O LORD, and shall glorify Your Name.
10 For You are great and do wondrous things. You are God, alone.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and I will walk in Your truth. Knit my heart to You, so that I may fear Your Name.
12 I will praise You, O LORD my God, with all my heart. Indeed, I will glorify Your Name forever.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me; and You have delivered my soul from the lowest grave.
14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought my soul and have not set You before them.
15 But You, O LORD, are a pitying God, and merciful, slow to anger and great in kindness and truth.
16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me. Give Your strength to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaid.
17 Show a sign of goodness toward me, so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; because You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. A Psalm, or song, committed to the sons of Korah
91 Whoever dwells in the secret of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, “O my Hope, and my Fortress! My God!” In Him will I trust.
3 Surely, He will deliver you from the snare of the hunter, from the calamitous pestilence.
4 He will cover you under His wings. And you shall be sure under his feathers. His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the fear of the night; of the arrow that flies by day;
6 of the pestilence that walks in the darkness; of the plague that destroys at noon day.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand. But it shall not come near you.
8 Doubtless, with your eyes you shall behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 For you have said, “The LORD is my hope.” You have set the Most High for your refuge.
10 No evil shall come to you. Nor shall any plague come near your house.
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall hold you in their hands, so that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You shall walk upon the lion and asp. The young lion and the dragon you shall tread underfoot.
14 “Because he has loved Me, therefore will I deliver him. I will exalt him because he has known My Name.
15 “He shall call upon Me, and I will hear him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and glorify him.
16 “I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.” A Psalm, or song, for the Sabbath day
92 It is a good thing to praise the LORD, and to sing to Your Name, O Most High,
2 to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your truth in the night,
3 upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the viol, with the song upon the harp.
4 For You, LORD, have made me glad by Your works; and I will rejoice in the works of Your hands.
5 O LORD, how glorious are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 An unwise man does not know it; and a fool does not understand this:
7 that when the wicked grow as the grass and all the workers of wickedness flourish, they shall be destroyed forever.
8 But You, O LORD, are Most High forevermore.
9 For lo, Your enemies, O LORD. For lo, Your enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be destroyed.
10 But You shall exalt my horn, like the unicorns, and I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 Also, my eye shall see my desire against my enemies; and my ears shall hear my wish against the wicked who rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree and shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Such as are planted in the House of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in their old age. They shall be fat and flourishing,
15 to declare that the LORD my Rock is righteous and that no iniquity is in Him.
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.
29 This was the appearance of the likeness of the Glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face. And I heard the Voice of One Who spoke.
2 And He said to me: “Son of man, stand up upon your feet, and I will speak to you.”
2 And the Spirit entered into me after He had spoken to me, and set me upon my feet, so that I heard Him Who spoke to me.
3 And He said to me: “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. They and their fathers have rebelled against Me to this very day.
4 “For they are impudent children, and stiff-hearted. I send you to them. And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God.’
5 “But surely, they will not hear. Indeed, nor will they cease. For they are a rebellious House: Yet they shall know that there has been a Prophet among them.
6 “And you, son of man, do not fear them or be afraid of their words, although rebels and thorns are with you, and you remain with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be afraid of their looks, for they are a rebellious House.
7 “Therefore, you shall speak My Words to them. Surely, they will not hear. Indeed, nor will they cease, for they are rebellious.
8 “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious, like this rebellious House. Open your mouth and eat that I give you.”
9 And when I looked up, behold, a Hand was sent to me. And lo, a scroll of a book was inside.
10 And He spread it before me, and there was writing inside and outside. And lamentations and mourning and woe were written on it.
3 Moreover, He said to me: “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll. And go, speak to the House of Israel.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and He gave me this scroll to eat.
3 And He said to me: “Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your core with this scroll that I give you.” Then I ate. And it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
14 Seeing, then, that we have a great High Priest Who has entered into Heaven (Jesus, the Son of God), let us hold firmly to our confession.
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all things tempted in the same way, yet without sin.
16 Therefore, let us go boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
5 For every High Priest is taken from among man (and is ordained for man, in things pertaining to God), so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to have compassion on the ignorant and the wayward, because he also is encompassed by infirmity.
3 And for the same reason he must also offer for his own sins as well as for the people’s.
4 And no man takes this honor for himself, but rather he who is called by God (as was Aaron).
5 So likewise, Christ did not take this honor for Himself (to be made the High Priest), but He Who said to Him, “You are My Son. This day I begat You”.
6 As He also, in another place states, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek”,
28 And it happened that about eight days after those words, He took Peter and John, and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as He prayed, the appearance of His face was changed. And His clothes became white and radiant.
30 And behold, two men talked with Him (who were Moses and Elijah),
31 They appeared in glory and told of His departure which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep. And when they awoke, they saw His Glory, and the two men standing with him.
33 And it happened that as they departed from Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Therefore, let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
34 While he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.”
36 And after the voice spoke, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret and told no one in those days anything they had seen.
