Book of Common Prayer
25 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
2 My God, I trust in You. Let me not be confounded. Do not let my enemies rejoice over me.
3 So all who hope in You shall not be ashamed. Let those who transgress without cause be confounded.
4 Show me Your ways, O LORD, and teach me Your paths.
5 Lead me forth in Your truth and teach me. For You are the God of my salvation. In You do I trust, all the day.
6 Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies, and Your lovingkindness. For they have been forever.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my rebellions. But according to Your kindness remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.
8 Gracious and righteous are the LORD. Therefore, He will teach sinners in the way.
9 Those who are meek, He will guide in judgment and teach the humble His way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 For Your Name’s sake, O LORD, be merciful to my iniquity. For it is great.
12 What man is he who fears the LORD? He will teach him the way he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of the LORD is revealed to those who fear Him, and His Covenant, to give them understanding.
15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD. For He will bring my feet out of the net.
16 Turn Your face to me; and have mercy upon me. For I am desolate and poor.
17 The sorrows of my heart are enlarged. Draw me out of my troubles.
18 Look upon my affliction, and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
19 Behold my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Keep my soul and deliver me. Let me not be confounded; for I trust in You.
21 Let my uprightness and equity preserve me; for my hope is in You.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all its troubles. A Psalm of David.
9 I will praise the LORD with my whole heart. I will speak of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, O Most High,
3 because my enemies are turned back. They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause. You are set on the Throne, and judge righteously.
5 You have rebuked the heathen. You have destroyed the wicked. You have put out their name forever and ever.
6 O enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end. And you have destroyed the cities. Their memorial has perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall sit forever. He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 For He shall judge the world in righteousness; shall judge the people with equity.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in time and in affliction.
10 And those who know Your Name will trust in You. For You, LORD, have not failed those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, Who dwells in Zion. Show the people His works.
12 For when He enquires after blood, He remembers it; not forgetting the complaint of the poor.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You Who lifts me up from the gates of death,
14 so that I may show all Your praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion and rejoice in Your salvation.
15 The heathen are sunken down in the pit they made. Their foot is taken in the net they have hidden.
16 The LORD is known by executing judgment. The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall return to Hell, and all nations that forget God.
18 For the poor shall not be always forgotten. The hope of the afflicted shall not perish forever.
19 Up LORD! Do not let man prevail! Let the heathen be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD, so that the heathen may know that they are but men. Selah.
15 LORD, who shall dwell in Your Tabernacle? Who shall rest on Your Holy Mountain?
2 He who walks uprightly and works righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart;
3 he who does not slander with his tongue, nor do evil to his neighbor, nor receive a false report against his neighbor;
4 in whose eyes a vile person is despised; but honors those who fear the LORD. He who swears to his own injury yet does not change.
5 He who does not give his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. Michtam of David.
5 And David went out wherever Saul sent him, conducting himself wisely, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
6 When they came back, and David returned from the slaughter of the Philistines, the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.
7 And the women sang as they played, and said, “Saul has killed his thousand, and David his ten thousand!”
8 Therefore, Saul was exceedingly angry; and the saying displeased him. And he said, “They have ascribed ten thousand to David. And they have ascribed a thousand to me. And what more can he have except the kingdom?”
9 Therefore, Saul had an eye on David from that day forward.
10 And the next day, the spirit of misery from God came upon Saul. And he prophesied in the midst of the house. And David played with his hand, just as at other times. And there was a spear in Saul’s hand.
11 And Saul took the spear, and said, “I will strike David through, to the wall.” But David escaped from his presence twice.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him and had departed from Saul.
13 Therefore, Saul removed him from his presence and made him a captain over a thousand. And he went out and in before the people.
14 And David conducted himself wisely in all his ways, for the LORD was with him.
15 Therefore, when Saul saw that he was very wise, he was afraid of him.
16 For all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and in before them.
27 David arose with his men and went and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins; and they gave them wholly to the king, so that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Therefore, Saul gave him Michal, his daughter, as a wife.
28 Then Saul saw and understood that the LORD was with David, and that Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
29 Then Saul was more and more afraid of David. And Saul became David’s continual enemy.
30 And when the princes of the Philistines went forth, at their going forth David conducted himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
19 And those who were scattered because of the affliction which arose about Stephen, passed through until they came to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, preaching the Word to no one except the Jews.
20 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come into Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, and preached the Lord Jesus.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Then, word of those things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem. And they sent forth Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch;
23 who, when he had come and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and encouraged all to continue in the Lord with purpose of heart.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and faith. And many people joined themselves to the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas left for Tarsus to seek Paul.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it so happened that they met with the church a whole year and taught many people. And the disciples were first called “Christians” in Antioch.
27 In those days, Prophets also came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 And one named Agabus stood up and signified by the Spirit that there would be great famine throughout all the world (which also happened under Claudius Caesar).
29 Then the disciples, everyone according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brothers who dwelt in Judea;
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
29 And as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 And Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever. And they told Jesus of her.
31 And He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. And the fever left her. And she ministered to them.
32 And when evening came, they brought to Jesus all who were diseased, and those who were possessed with demons.
33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34 And He healed many who were sick of diverse diseases. And He cast out many demons. But He would not let the demons say that they knew Him.
35 And in the morning, very early, before day, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and prayed there.
36 And Simon, and those who were with Him, carefully followed Him.
37 And when they had found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone seeks you.”
38 Then He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also. For I came out for that purpose.”
39 And He preached in their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, and cast out the demons.
40 And a leper came to Him, begging Him, and kneeling down to Him, saying, “If You will, You can make me clean.”
41 And Jesus had compassion. And put forth His hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I will. Be clean.”
42 And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 And after He had given him a straight commandment, He sent him away,
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone. But go and show yourself to the priest. And offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial to them.”
45 But after he left, he began to tell many things, and to proclaim what happened, so that Jesus could no more openly enter the city; but stayed outside the gates, in desert places. And they came to Him from every quarter.
