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.
44 The Word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt and remained at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘You have seen all the misery that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah. And behold, this day they are desolate, and no one dwells in it,
3 ‘because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke Me to anger, in that they went to burn incense to serve other gods whom they did not know, neither they nor you nor your fathers.
4 ‘However, I sent all my servants, the Prophets, to you, rising early and sending, saying, “Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!”
5 ‘But they would not hear or incline their ear, to turn from their wickedness and to no longer burn incense to other gods.
6 ‘Therefore, My wrath and My anger was poured forth, and was kindled, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. And they were desolate and wasted, as they are this day.
7 “Therefore, now, thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Why do you commit great evil against yourselves—to cut off man and woman from you, child and infant from out of Judah, leaving no one remaining—
8 in that you provoke Me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to dwell, so that you might bring destruction to yourselves, and that you might be a curse and a reproach among all nations of the Earth?
9 ‘Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 ‘They are not humbled to this day, nor have they feared or walked in My Law or in My Statutes, which I set before you and before your fathers.’
11 “Therefore, thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will set My Face against you to misery, and to destroy all Judah.
12 ‘And I will take the remnant of Judah that has set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to dwell. And they shall all be consumed and fall in the land of Egypt. They shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They shall die, from the least to the most, by the sword, and by the famine. And they shall be a detestation and an astonishment and a curse and a reproach.
13 ‘For I will visit those who dwell in the land of Egypt as I have visited Jerusalem—by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence—
14 ‘so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there shall escape or survive, lest they should return to the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return, to dwell there. For no one shall return but those who shall escape.’”
30 Why are we also in danger every hour?
31 By your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 If, after the habit of man, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead are not raised up? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
33 Do not be deceived. Bad company corrupts good morals.
34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin. For some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come forth?”
36 O fool. That which you sow does not come alive unless it dies.
37 And that which you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but bare corn as it falls, of wheat, or of some other.
38 But God gives it a body at His pleasure, even to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of man, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds.
40 There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
41 There is another glory of the Sun, and another glory of the Moon, and another glory of the stars. For one star differs from another star in glory.
16 “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like little children who sit in the markets, and call to others,
17 “and say, ‘We have played the flute for you and you have not danced. We have lamented for you, and you have not mourned.’
18 “For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 “The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend to tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
20 Then He began to reproach the cities wherein most of His great works were done, because they did not repent.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the great works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, in sackcloth and ashes.
22 “But I say to you it shall be easier for Tyre and Sidon on the Day of Judgment than for you.
23 “And you, Capernaum, who is lifted up to Heaven, shall be brought down to Hell! For if the great works which have been done in you had been done among those of Sodom, they would still remain to this day!
24 “But I say to you that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom on the Day of Judgment than for you.”
