Book of Common Prayer
63 O God, You are my God. I will seek You early. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs greatly after You in a barren and dry land, without water.
2 Thus, when I behold Your power and Your Glory, I behold You as in the Sanctuary.
3 For Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus will I magnify You all my life and lift up my hands in Your Name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think upon You in the night watches.
7 Therefore, because You have been my helper, I will rejoice under the shadow of Your wings.
8 My soul clings to You. Your right hand upholds me.
9 Therefore, those who seek my soul to destroy it, they shall go into the lowest parts of the Earth.
10 They shall cast him down with the edge of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. All who swear by Him shall rejoice. For the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. To him who excels: A Psalm of David
98 Sing to the LORD a new song; for He has done marvelous things! His right hand and His holy arm have gotten Him the victory.
2 The LORD declared His salvation. He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered His mercy and His truth toward the House of Israel. All the ends of the Earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Sing loud to the LORD, all the Earth! Cry out and rejoice; and sing praises!
5 Sing praise to the LORD upon the harp, upon the harp with a singing voice.
6 With shofars and sound of trumpets sing loud before the LORD the King.
7 Let the sea roar and all that therein is, the world and those who dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands! Let the mountains rejoice together
9 before the LORD! For He has come to judge the Earth. With righteousness shall He judge the world, and the people with equity.
103 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me! Praise His Holy Name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits!
3 Who forgives all your iniquity and heals all your infirmities.
4 Who redeems your life from the grave and crowns you with mercy and compassions.
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things; and your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all who are oppressed.
7 He made His ways known to Moses and His works to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness.
9 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!
11 “On that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and close up the breaches thereof. And I will raise up its ruins. And I will build it, as in the days of old,
12 “that they may possess the remnant of Edom—and of all the heathen—because My Name is called upon them,” says the LORD, Who does this.
13 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the plowman shall touch the mower; and the treader of grapes him who sows seed. And the mountains shall drop sweet wine. And all the hills shall melt.
14 “And I will bring back the captives of My people of Israel. And they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine thereof. They shall also make gardens and eat the fruits of them.
15 “And I will plant them upon their land. And no more shall they be pulled up again out of their land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
2 Now we urge you, brothers, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (and by our assembling to Him),
2 to not waver suddenly in your mind or be troubled by spirit or word or letter which seems to come from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that Day shall not come unless an apostasy comes first and the man of sin is revealed - the Son of Perdition -
13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers (beloved of the Lord) because God has chosen you for salvation from the beginning, through sanctification of the Spirit and the faith of truth;
14 to which He called you by our Gospel to obtain the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brothers, stand fast and keep the instructions which you have been taught, either by word or by our letter.
16 Now may the same Jesus Christ our Lord, and our God, even the Father, Who has loved us and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every word and good work.
30 “I can do nothing of My own Self. As I hear, I judge. And My judgment is just, because I seek not My own will, but the will of the Father Who has sent Me.
31 “If I should bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32 “There is Another that bears witness of Me. And I know that the witness which He bears of Me is true.
33 “You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
34 “But I do not receive the testimony of man. Nevertheless, these things I say that you might be saved.
35 “He was a burning and shining lamp. And you were, for a season, willing to rejoice in his light.
36 “But I have greater witness than the witness of John. For the works which the Father has given Me to finish (the same works that I do) bear witness of Me, that the Father sent Me.
37 “And the Father Himself, Who has sent Me, bears witness of Me. You have not heard His voice at any time, nor have you seen His shape.
38 “And His Word you do not have abiding in you. For Whom He has sent, Him you did not believe.
39 “You search the Scriptures. For in them you think to have eternal life. And they are they which testify of Me.
40 “But you will not come to Me, that you might have life.
41 “I do not receive the praise of man.
42 “But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43 “I have come in My Father’s Name, and you do not receive Me. If another shall come in his own name, him you will receive!
44 How can you believe, when you receive honor one from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from God alone?
45 “Do not think that I will accuse you to My Father. There is one who accuses you - Moses, in whom you trust.
46 “For had you believed Moses you would have believed Me. For he wrote of Me.
47 “But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My words?”
