Book of Common Prayer
97 The LORD reigns. Let the Earth rejoice! Let the multitude of the isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness surround Him. Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.
3 A fire shall go before Him and burn up His enemies all around.
4 His lightnings gave light to the world. The Earth saw it and was afraid.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the LORD of the whole Earth.
6 The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the people see His Glory.
7 All those who serve graven images, who glory in idols, are confounded. Worship Him all you gods.
8 Zion heard of it and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9 For You, LORD, are Most High above all the Earth. You are much exalted above all gods.
10 You who love the LORD, hate evil. He preserves the souls of His saints. He will deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks for His holy remembrance. A Psalm
99 The LORD reigns! Let the people tremble. He sits between the Cherubims. Let the Earth be moved!
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and He is high above all the people.
3 They shall praise Your great and fearful Name (It is Holy).
4 Also, the King’s power loves judgment. You establish equity. You have executed judgment and justice in Jacob.
5 Exalt the LORD our God and bow down before His footstool. He is Holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His Priests, and Samuel among such as call upon His Name. These called upon the LORD and He heard them.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar. They kept His testimonies, the Law which He gave them.
8 You heard them, O LORD our God. You were a favorable God to them, though You took vengeance for their evil deeds.
9 Exalt the LORD our God and bow down before His Holy Mountain; for the LORD our God is Holy. A Psalm of praise
100 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the Earth!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness. Come before Him with joyfulness!
3 Know that the LORD is God. He has made us, and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, into His courts with rejoicing. Give Him thanks. Praise Him; and bless His Name.
5 For the LORD is good. His mercy is everlasting; and His truth is from generation to generation. A Psalm of David
94 O LORD God, the Avenger! O God, the Avenger, show Yourself clearly!
2 Exalt Yourself, O Judge of the World, and render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 They babble on and speak fiercely. All the workers of iniquity boast of themselves.
5 They strike down Your people, O LORD, and trouble Your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, “The LORD shall not see; nor will the God of Jacob regard it.”
8 Understand, you unwise among the people and you fools. When will you be wise?
9 He Who planted the ear, shall He not hear? Or, He Who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 Or, He Who chastises the nations, shall He not correct? He Who teaches man knowledge, shall He not know?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom You chastise, O LORD, and teach in Your Law,
13 so that You may give him rest from the days of evil while the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 Surely, the LORD will neither fail His people nor forsake His inheritance.
15 For judgment shall return to justice; and all the upright in heart shall follow after it.
16 Who will rise up with me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 If the LORD had not helped me, my soul would have almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I say, “My foot slides.” Your mercy, O LORD, upholds me.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts, in my heart, Your comforts have rejoiced my soul.
20 Does the throne of iniquity, which forges wrong for a law, have fellowship with You?
21 They gather together against the soul of the righteous and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD is my refuge; and my God is the Rock of my hope.
23 And He will recompense their wickedness and destroy them in their own malice. The LORD our God shall destroy them.
95 Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us sing aloud to the Rock of our Salvation!
2 Let us come before His Face with praise. Let us sing loud to Him with Psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods,
4 in Whose hand are the deep places of the Earth, and the heights of the mountains are His.
5 The sea belongs to Him, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us worship and bow down, and kneel before the LORD our Maker.
7 For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His Hand. Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 “Do not harden your heart as in Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9 “when your fathers tempted Me (tested Me) though they had seen My work.
10 “Forty years I have contended with this generation, and said they are a people that err in heart, for they have not known My ways.
11 “Therefore, I swore in My wrath, saying, ‘Surely, they shall not enter into My rest.’”
21 And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth. For the first Heaven and the first Earth had passed away. And there was no more sea.
2 And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, come down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, “Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with man! And He will dwell with them! And they shall be His people! And God Himself shall be their God with them!
4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes! And there shall be no more death or sorrow or crying. Nor shall there be any more pain. For the first things are passed!”
5 And He who sat upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new!” And He said to me, “Write. For these things are faithful and true.”
6 And He said to me, “It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give freely from the well of the water of life to him who is thirsty.
7 “He who overcomes, shall inherit all things. And I will be his God. And he shall be My Son.
8 “But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall take their place in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
14 And when they had come to the multitude, a certain man came to Him and fell down at His feet,
15 and said, “Master, have pity on my son. For he is lunatic and suffers greatly. For he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 “And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not heal him.”
17 Then Jesus answered, and said, “O faithless and crooked generation. How long now shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the demon. And he went out of him. And the child was healed at that hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why could not we cast it out?”
20 And Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as much as is a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it shall move. And nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 “Nevertheless, this kind only comes out by prayer and fasting.”
