Book of Common Prayer
20 The LORD hear you on the day of trouble. The Name of the God of Jacob defend you;
2 send you help from the Sanctuary and strengthen you out of Zion.
3 Let Him remember all your offerings and turn your burnt offerings into ashes. Selah.
4 Grant you according to your heart and fulfill all your purpose,
5 so that we may rejoice in your salvation—and set up the banner in the Name of our God—when the LORD shall perform all your petitions.
6 Now I know that the LORD will help His anointed; and will hear him from His Sanctuary, by the mighty help of His right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses. But we will remember the Name of the LORD our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen. But we are risen and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD! Let the king hear us on the day that we call! To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
21 The king shall rejoice in Your strength, O LORD. Indeed, how greatly shall he rejoice in Your salvation!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not denied the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For You meet him with liberal blessings and set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 He asked life of You, and You gave him a long life forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in Your salvation. Dignity and honor You have laid upon him.
6 For You have set him as most blessed forever. You have made him glad with the joy of Your countenance.
7 Because the king trusts in the LORD, and in the mercy of the Most High, he shall not slide.
8 Your hand shall find out all Your enemies. And Your right hand shall find out those who hate You.
9 You shall make them like a fiery oven in time of Your anger. The LORD shall destroy them in His wrath. And the fire shall devour them.
10 You shall destroy their fruit from the Earth, and their seed from the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against You and imagined mischief. But they shall not prevail.
12 Therefore, You shall make them turn their back. And You shall make ready the strings of Your bow against their faces.
13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength. So, will we sing and praise Your power. To him who excels upon Aijeleth Hashahar: A Psalm of David.
110 The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your power out of Zion. Be ruler in the midst of Your enemies.
3 Your people shall come willingly at the time of assembling Your army in Holy beauty. The youth of Your womb shall be as the morning dew.
4 The LORD swore, and will not repent, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord at Your right hand shall wound kings on the day of His wrath.
6 He shall be judge among the heathen. He shall fill all with dead bodies and strike the leaders of great countries.
7 He shall drink from the brook on the way. Therefore, He shall lift up His head. Praise the LORD
116 I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my prayers.
2 For He has inclined His ear to me, when I called in my days.
3 The snares of death surrounded me and the griefs of the grave caught me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the Name of the LORD, “I implore You, O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5 The LORD is merciful and righteous; and our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was in misery and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has been beneficial to you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed. Therefore, I spoke. I was very troubled.
11 I said in my fear, “All men are liars.”
12 What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me?
13 I will take the Cup of Salvation and call upon the Name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD even now, in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16 Behold, LORD, for I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid. You have broken my bonds.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of praise to You and will call upon the Name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD even now, in the presence of all His people,
19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, even in the midst of You, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
117 All nations, praise the LORD! Praise Him, all people!
2 For His lovingkindness is great toward us; and the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan, chief steward and servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem
9 and burnt the House of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. And he burnt all the great houses with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the chief steward, broke down the walls of Jerusalem, all around.
11 And the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who had fled and fallen to the king of Babylon with the remnant of the multitude, chief steward Nebuzaradan carried away captive.
12 But the chief steward left of the poor of the land to dress the vines, and to till the land.
22 However, people remained in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, left alone. And he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
23 Then, when all the captains of the army and their men heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah, to Mizpah. They were: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah and Johanan, the son of Careah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, “Do not fear to be the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and you shall be well.”
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king’s seed, came, and ten men with him. And he struck Gedaliah and he died, and so did he the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Then all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the army, arose and came to Egypt. For they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
12 Now if it is preached that Christ is risen from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God, that He has raised up Christ, Whom He has not raised up, if it be so that the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised.
17 And if Christ is not raised, your faith is vain. You are still in your sins.
18 And so those who are asleep in Christ, have perished.
19 If it is only in this life that we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind the most miserable.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead and made the firstfruits of those who slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 Yet, each in his own order: the Firstfruits, Christ; afterward, those who are of Christ, at His coming.
24 Then, the end, when He has delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when He has abolished all rule, and all authority and power.
25 For He must reign till He has put all His enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be ended, is death.
27 For He has subjected all things under His feet. (And when He says that all things are subjected, it is obvious that He is excepted, Who subjected all things under Himself.)
28 And when all things shall be subjected to Him, then shall the Son also, Himself, be subject to Him, Who subjected all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Or else what shall they do who are baptized for dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they baptized for dead?
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to speak to the multitude about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see - a reed shaken with the wind?
8 “But what did you go out to see - a man wearing soft clothes? Behold, those who wear soft clothes are in kings’ houses.
9 “But what did you go out to see - a Prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a Prophet.
10 “For this is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who shall prepare Your way before You.’
11 “Truly I say to you, among those who are begotten of women, there has not arisen a greater than John Baptist. Even so, the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, is greater than he.
12 “And from the time of John Baptist until now, the Kingdom of God suffers violence. And the violent take it by force.
13 “For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14 “And if you will receive it, this is that Elijah who was to come.
15 “The one who has ears to hear let him hear.
