Book of Common Prayer
46 God is our hope and strength; help in troubles, ready to be found.
2 Therefore, we will not fear, though the Earth be moved and though the mountains fall into the midst of the sea.
3 The waters thereof rage and are troubled; the mountains shake at the surges of the same. Selah.
4 Still, there is a River whose stream shall make glad the City of God, the Sanctuary of the Tabernacles of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of it; therefore, it shall not be moved. God shall help it in the dawning.
6 When the nations raged and the kingdoms were moved, God thundered, and the Earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come and behold the works of the LORD, what desolations He has made on the Earth.
9 He makes wars cease, to the ends of the world. He breaks the bow and cuts the spear and burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen. I will be exalted on the Earth.”
11 The LORD of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. To him who excels: A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.
87 God laid His foundations among the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion above all the habitations of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of You, O City of God! Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babel among those who know me. Behold Palestine and Tyre with Ethiopia. There He is born.
5 And it shall be said of Zion, “Many are born in her; and He, the Most High, shall establish her.”
6 The LORD shall count, when He writes the people, “He was born there.” Selah.
7 Both the singers and the players on instruments shall praise You, “All my springs are in You.” A song, or Psalm, of Heman the Ezrahite, to give instruction; committed to the sons of Korah for him who excels upon Mahalath Leannoth
22 Then Solomon stood before the Altar of the LORD, in the sight of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands toward Heaven,
23 and said, “O LORD God of Israel! There is no God like You in Heaven above or on the Earth beneath, You Who keep Covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their heart;
24 “You Who have kept with Your servant David, my father, that You have promised him. For You spoke with Your Mouth and have fulfilled it with Your Hand, as it is this day.
25 “Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with Your servant David, my father, that You have promised him, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man in My sight to sit upon the throne of Israel, so that your children attend to their way, so that they walk before Me, as you have walked in My sight.’
26 “And now, O God of Israel, I pray, let Your Word be verified which You spoke to your servant David, my father.
27 “Is it indeed true that God will dwell on the Earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain You! How much more so is this House that I have built?
28 “But have respect to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hear the cry and prayer which Your servant prays before You this day!
29 “So that Your Eyes may be open toward this House, night and day, toward the place of which You have said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may listen to the prayer which Your servant prays in this place.
30 “Hear, therefore, the supplication of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, who pray in this place! And hear in the place of Your habitation, in Heaven! And when You hear, have mercy!
11 Therefore, remember that you, being formerly Gentiles in the flesh (the ones called “uncircumcision” by those called “circumcision” in the flesh, made with hands),
12 that you were, at that time, without Christ; and were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel; and were strangers to the covenants of the promise; and had no hope; and were without God in the world.
13 But now, in Christ Jesus, you who were once far off, are made near by the blood of Christ.
14 For He is our peace. He has made of both, one, and has broken the barrier of hostility;
15 having annulled (through His flesh) the Law of Commandments contained in Ordinances, in order to make (in Himself) one new man from the two. And so, make peace,
16 so that He might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, and thereby slay hostility.
17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were near.
18 For through Him we both have access to the Father, by one Spirit.
19 Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Cornerstone.
21 In Him, all the building, fitted together, grows into a holy Temple in the Lord.
22 In Him, you also are being built together, to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
