Book of Common Prayer
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 In my life I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises unto my God while I live.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit shall go forth, he shall return to his earth; in that very day all his thoughts shall perish.
5 ¶ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God;
6 who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keeps truth for ever:
7 He who does justice unto the oppressed; who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises those that are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous:
9 The LORD preserves the strangers; he raises up the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halelu-JAH.
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for praise is pleasant and beautiful.
2 The LORD, he who builds up Jerusalem; shall gather together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken hearted, and he binds up their wounds.
4 He counts the number of the stars and calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord and of great power; his intelligence is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked down to the earth.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares the rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He who gives the beast his food and to the sons of the ravens which cry unto him.
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; nor does he take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The LORD takes pleasure in those that fear him, in those that wait upon his mercy.
12 ¶ Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy sons within thee.
14 He who makes peace to be thy borders shall fill thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth his word upon earth; his word runs very swiftly.
16 He who gives snow like wool scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold?
18 He shall send forth his word and melt them; his wind shall blow, and the waters shall flow.
19 He declares his words unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He has not dealt so with the other nations, which have not known his judgments. Halelu-JAH.
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He has established them for ever and ever: he has made a law which shall not be broken.
7 ¶ Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons and all deeps,
8 fire and hail; snow and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word,
9 mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars,
10 beasts and all animals; creeping things and flying fowl,
11 kings of the earth and all the peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 both young men and maidens, the old with the children,
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above earth and heavens.
He
14 has exalted the horn of his people; let all his merciful ones praise him; even of the sons of Israel, the people near unto him. Halelu-JAH.
1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Sing unto the LORD a new song, let his praise be in the congregation of the merciful.
2 Let Israel rejoice with his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful with their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he will beautify the humble with saving health.
5 The merciful shall be joyful with glory; they shall sing aloud upon their beds.
6 ¶ The high praises of God shall be in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 to execute vengeance upon the Gentiles and punishments upon the peoples,
8 to imprison their kings with fetters and their nobles with chains of iron,
9 to execute upon them the judgment written: this shall be glory for all his merciful ones. Halelu-JAH.
3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD has brought you out of here with a strong hand; therefore, ye shall not eat with leaven.
4 This day ye came out in the month Abib.
5 And when the LORD shall have brought thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he swore unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt do this service in this month.
6 Thou shalt eat without leaven for seven days, and the seventh day shall be a feast unto the LORD.
7 Bread without leaven shall be eaten the seven days; and nothing leavened shall be seen with thee, neither shall there be any leaven in all thy borders.
8 And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when he brought me out of Egypt.
9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand and for a memorial before thine eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Thou shalt, therefore, keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
41 One thing is the glory of the sun, and another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall be raised in incorruption;
43 it is sown in dishonour, it shall be raised with glory; it is sown in weakness, it shall be raised with power;
44 it is sown a natural body, it shall be raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving Spirit.
46 Howbeit the spiritual is not first, but the natural; and afterward, that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord of heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are those also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such also are those that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
16 ¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, behold, I am with you always even unto the end of the age. Amen.
