Psalm 103

103 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me! Praise His Holy Name!

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits!

Who forgives all your iniquity and heals all your infirmities.

Who redeems your life from the grave and crowns you with mercy and compassions.

Who satisfies your mouth with good things; and your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all who are oppressed.

He made His ways known to Moses and His works to the children of Israel.

The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness.

He will not always strive with us; nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heaven is above the Earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our sins from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

14 For He knows whereof we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

15 The days of man are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 For the wind goes over it and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD endures forever and ever upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness upon children’s children

18 to those who keep His Covenant and remember His Commandments, to do them.

19 The LORD has prepared His throne in Heaven, and His Kingdom rules over all.

20 Praise the LORD, His angels, who excel in strength! Who do His Commandment in obeying the voice of His word!

21 Praise the LORD, all His hosts; His servants who do His pleasure!

22 Praise the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion! My soul, praise the LORD!

Ezekiel 47:1-12

47 Afterward, he brought me to the door of the House. And behold, waters came out from under the threshold of the House, eastward (for the front of the House faced east). And the waters ran down from under the right side of the House, on the south side of the Altar.

Then he brought me out toward the North gate and led me around by the outside, into the outer gate, by the way that turns eastward. And behold, there came forth waters on the right side.

And when the man who had the line in his hand went forth, eastward, he measured a thousand cubits. And he brought me through the waters (the waters were to the ankles).

Again, he measured a thousand and brought me through the waters (the waters were to the knees). Again, he measured a thousand and brought me through (the waters were to the loins).

Afterward, he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass over; for the waters had risen, the waters flowed as a river that could not be passed over.

And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.

Now, when I turned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on one side and on the other.

Then he said to me, “These waters come out toward the east country, and run down into the plain, and shall go into one sea. They shall run into the sea and the waters shall be wholesome.

“And everything that lives which moves, wherever the rivers shall go, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall go there. For they shall be wholesome, and everything shall live where the river goes.

10 “And then the fishers shall stand upon it, from En Gedi to En Eglaim, they shall spread out their nets. Their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the main sea, exceedingly many.

11 “But its swampy places, and its marshes, shall not be wholesome. They shall be made salt pits.

12 “And by this river, upon its banks, on this side and on that side, shall grow all fruitful trees, whose leaf shall not fade, nor shall its fruit fail. It shall bring forth new fruit according to its months, because their waters run out of the Sanctuary. And its fruit shall be food, and its leaf shall be for medicine.”

Luke 1:1-4

Since many have attempted to set forth the story of those things of which we are fully persuaded

(exactly as they were delivered to us by those ministers of the Word who saw them themselves from the beginning),

it seemed good to me also - once I had carefully investigated all things from the beginning - to write to you of them from point to point, most noble Theophilus,

so that you might acknowledge the certainty of those things of which you have been instructed.

Psalm 67

67 God be merciful to us and bless us. Cause His face to shine among us (Selah),

so that they may know Your way upon Earth and Your saving health among all nations.

Let the people praise You, O God. Let all the people praise You.

Let the people be glad and rejoice; for You shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon the Earth. Selah.

Let the people praise You, O God. Let all the people praise You.

Then shall the Earth bring forth her increase; and God, even our God, shall bless us.

God shall bless us, and all the ends of the Earth shall fear Him. To him who excels: A psalm or song of David

Psalm 96

96 Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD all the Earth!

Sing to the LORD! Praise His Name! Declare His salvation from day to day.

Declare His Glory among all nations, His wonders among all people.

For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the people are idols. But the LORD made the heavens.

Strength and glory are before Him. Power and beauty are in His Sanctuary.

Give to the LORD, you families of the people! Give to the LORD glory and power!

Give to the LORD the glory of His Name. Bring an offering and enter into His courts.

Worship the LORD in the glorious Sanctuary. Tremble before Him, all the Earth.

10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” Surely, the world shall be stable and not move; and He shall judge the people in righteousness.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the Earth be glad! Let the sea roar, and all that therein is.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it! Let all the trees of the wood then rejoice

13 before the LORD. For He comes. For He comes to judge the Earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the people in His truth.

Acts 1:1-8

I have made the first account, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began to do and teach

until the day He was taken up (after He, through the Holy Ghost, had given Commandments to the Apostles whom He had chosen -

and to whom He presented Himself alive by many sure signs after He had suffered - being seen by them over forty days and speaking of those things concerning the Kingdom of God).

And when He had gathered them together, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, He said, “You have heard from Me.

“For John indeed baptized with water. But you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost within a few days.”

Therefore, when they had come together, they asked of Him, saying, “Lord, will You restore the Kingdom to Israel at this time?”

And He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in place by His own authority.

“But you shall receive power from the Holy Ghost when He shall come upon you. And you shall be witnesses to Me, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the outermost part of the Earth.”
