Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people murmur in vain?

The kings of the Earth stand together. And the Princes are assembled together against the LORD, and against His Christ.

Let us break their bands and cast their cords from us.

But he who dwells in the heavens shall laugh. The LORD shall hold them in derision.

Then shall He speak to them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure, saying,

“I have set My King upon Zion, My Holy Mountain.”

“I will declare the decree. The LORD has said to me, ‘You are My Son. This day have I begotten You.

“Ask of Me, and I shall give You the heathen for Your inheritance, and the ends of the Earth for Your possession.

“You shall crush them with a scepter of iron; and break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”

10 Be wise now, therefore, you kings. Be learned, you judges of the Earth.

11 Serve the LORD in fear; and rejoice in trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish on the way when His wrath shall suddenly burn. Blessed are all who trust in Him. A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

Psalm 24

24 The Earth is the LORD’s and all that therein is, the world and those who dwell therein.

For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the Mountain of the LORD? And who shall stand in His Holy Place?

He who has innocent hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his mind to vanity nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is the generation of those who seek Him, of those who seek Your face. This is Jacob. Selah.

Lift up your heads, you gates. And be lifted up, you everlasting doors. And the King of Glory shall come in.

Who is this King of Glory: The LORD, strong and mighty. The LORD, mighty in battle.

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.

Exodus 24:12-18

12 And the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me onto the mountain, and be there. And I will give you Tablets of stone, and the Law, and the Commandment which I have written, to teach them.”

13 Then Moses and his minister, Joshua, rose up. And Moses went up onto the Mountain of God,

14 and said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever has any matters, let him come to them.

15 Then, Moses went up to the mount; and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 And the Glory of the LORD remained upon Mount Sinai; and the cloud covered it for six days. And the seventh day, He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 And the sight of the Glory of the LORD on the top of the mountain was like a consuming fire in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up to the mountain. And Moses was on the mount for forty days and forty nights.

2 Corinthians 4:1-6

Therefore, seeing that we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not faint.

But we have cast from us the cloaks of shame, and do not walk in craftiness, nor handle the Word of God deceitfully. But in declaration of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

If the Gospel is then hidden, it is hidden to those who are lost,

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving; that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine unto them.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants, for Jesus’ sake.

For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Psalm 72

72 Give Your judgments to the King, O God, and Your righteousness to the King’s Son.

He shall judge Your people in righteousness, and Your poor with equity.

The mountains and the hills shall bring peace to the people by justice.

He shall judge the poor of the people. He shall save the children of the needy and shall subdue the oppressor.

They shall fear You as long as the Sun and Moon endure, from generation to generation.

He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass, as the showers that water the Earth.

In His days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace shall be so long as the Moon endures.

Also, His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the land.

Those who dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before Him; and His enemies shall lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish, and of the isles, shall bring presents. The kings of Sheba, and Seba, shall bring gifts.

11 Indeed, all kings shall worship Him. All nations shall serve Him.

12 For He shall deliver the poor when He cries, the needy also, and he who has no helper.

13 He shall be merciful to the poor and needy and shall preserve the souls of the poor.

14 He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence, and their blood shall be dear in His sight.

15 Indeed, He shall live; and to Him shall they give of the gold of Sheba. Also, they shall pray for Him continually and daily bless Him.

16 A handful of grain shall be sown in the Earth, in the top of the mountains. The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and the children out of the city shall flourish like the grass of the Earth.

17 His name shall be forever. His name shall endure as long as the Sun. All nations shall bless Him and be blessed in Him.

18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things.

19 And blessed be His glorious Name forever. And let all the Earth be filled with His Glory. So be it, even so be it.

20 Here ends the prayers of David, the son of Jesse. A Psalm committed to Asaph

John 12:27-36

27 Now My soul is troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But, for this I came to this hour.

28 “Father, glorify Your Name.” Then, there came a Voice from Heaven, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

29 Then, the people who stood by and heard it said that it was thunder. Others said an angel spoke to Him.

30 Jesus answered, and said, “This Voice did not come because of Me, but for your sakes.

31 “Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

32 “And I, if I am lifted up from the Earth, will draw all to Myself.

33 Now He said this to signify what death He would die.

34 The people answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abides forever. So how can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is the Son of Man?”

35 Then Jesus said to them, “The Light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the Light, lest the darkness come upon you. For one who walks in the dark, does not know where he goes.

36 “While you have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be the children of the Light.” These things Jesus spoke. And having departed, He hid Himself from them.
