Book of Common Prayer
66 Rejoice in God, all the Earth!
2 Sing forth the Glory of His Name! Make His praise glorious!
3 Say to God, “How terrible are You in Your works! Through the greatness of Your power shall Your enemies be in subjection to You.
4 “All the world shall worship You and sing to You. Sing of Your Name!” Selah.
5 Come and behold the works of God. He is terrible in His doings toward the sons of men.
6 He has turned the sea into dry land. They passed through the river on foot. We rejoiced in Him there.
7 He rules the world with His power. His eyes behold the nations. The rebellious shall not exalt themselves. Selah.
8 Praise our God, you people, and make the voice of His praise heard.
9 He holds our souls in life and does not let our feet slip.
10 For You, O God, have tested us. You have refined us as silver is refined.
11 You have brought us into the net. You put pressure upon our loins.
12 You have caused men to ride over our heads. We went into fire and into water; but You brought us out into abundance.
13 I will go into Your House with burnt offerings and will pay You my vows
14 which my lips have promised; and my mouth has spoken in my affliction.
15 I will offer to You the burnt offerings of fat rams with incense. I will prepare bullocks and goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what He has done to my soul.
17 I called to Him with my mouth and He was exalted with my tongue.
18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, the LORD will not hear me.
19 But God has heard me and considered the voice of my prayer.
20 Praised God, Who has turned away neither my prayer nor His mercy. To him who excels on Neginoth: A psalm or song
4 Afterward, they departed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea to surround the land of Edom. And the soul of the people became very discouraged along the way.
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, “Why have You brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is neither bread nor water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.”
6 Therefore the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people, so that many of the people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned. For we have spoken against the LORD and against You. Pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the LORD said to Moses, “Make yourself a fiery serpent; and set it up for a sign, so that as many as are bitten may look upon it and live.”
9 So Moses made a serpent of brass and set it up for a sign. And when a serpent had bitten a man, then he looked to the serpent of brass and lived.
11 “Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak that we know, and testify that we have seen. But you do not receive our witness.
12 “If when I tell you earthly things you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you of Heavenly things?
13 “For no one ascends up to Heaven, except He who descended from Heaven – the Son of Man, who is in Heaven.
14 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
15 “that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 “For God so loves the world, that He has given His only begotten Son; that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 “For God did not send his Son into the world that He should condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.
118 Praise the LORD because He is good; for His mercy endures forever!
2 Let Israel now say, “His mercy endures forever!”
3 Let the House of Aaron now say, “His mercy endures forever!”
4 Let those who fear the LORD now say, “His mercy endures forever!”
5 I called upon the LORD in trouble; the LORD heard me and set me in a large place.
6 The LORD is with me. Therefore, I will not fear what man can do to me.
7 The LORD is with me among those who help me. Therefore, I shall see my desire upon my enemies.
8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to have confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to have confidence in princes.
10 All nations have surrounded me; but in the Name of the LORD shall I destroy them.
11 They have surrounded me. Indeed, they have surrounded me; but in the Name of the LORD I shall destroy them.
12 They came around me like bees, but they were quenched as a fire of thorns; for in the Name of the LORD I shall destroy them.
13 You have thrust violently at me, so that I might fall; but the LORD has helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song; for He has been my deliverance.
15 The voice of joy and deliverance is in the tabernacles of the righteous. The right hand of the LORD has done valiantly.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted. The right hand of the LORD has done valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD has chastened me severely; but He has not delivered me to death.
19 Open the gates of righteousness to me, so that I may go into them and praise the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD. The righteous shall enter into it.
21 I will praise You; for You have heard me and have been my deliverance.
22 The Stone which the builders refused is the Head of the Corner.
23 This was the LORD’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes,
24 This is the day the LORD has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
25 O LORD, I beg You, save now! O LORD, I beg You, give prosperity now!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the LORD! We have blessed you out of the House of the LORD.
27 The LORD is mighty and has given us light. Bind the sacrifice to the horns of the altar with cords.
28 You are my God, and I will praise You! You are my God; therefore, I will exalt You!
29 Praise the LORD because He is good; for His mercy endures forever.
17 For it is better (if it is the will of God) to suffer for doing good rather than evil.
18 For Christ also has suffered once for sins - the Just for the unjust - so that He might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
19 by Whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison.
20 They were disobedient in the past, when once more the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the Ark was being prepared (in which few - that is, eight - souls were saved in the water).
21 This is now represented by baptism, which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but an appeal to God, made with a good conscience. This also rescues us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 Who is at the right hand of God, gone into Heaven, to Whom the angels and powers and might are subject.
