Psalm 148

148 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths,—

13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!

Psalm 150

150 Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him in his mighty acts; praise him according to the abundance of his greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with lute and harp;

Praise him with the tambour and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and the pipe;

Praise him with loud cymbals; praise him with high sounding cymbals.

Let everything that hath breath praise Jah. Hallelujah!

Psalm 91-92

91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress; my God, I will confide in him.

Surely *he* shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the destructive pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou find refuge: his truth is a shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day,

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.

Because *thou* hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place,

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways:

12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.

16 With length of days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.

92 It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;

To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:

A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.

13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:

14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;

15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Isaiah 65:13-16

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and *ye* shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, and *ye* shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, and *ye* shall be ashamed;

14 behold, my servants shall sing aloud for gladness of heart, and *ye* shall cry out for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto mine elect; for the Lord Jehovah will slay thee, and will call his servants by another name:

16 so that he who blesseth himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the God of truth: because the former troubles shall be forgotten, and because they shall be hidden from mine eyes.

Revelation 3:7-13

And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith the holy, the true; he that has the key of David, he who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open:

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an opened door, which no one can shut, because thou hast a little power, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Behold, I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause that they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet, and shall know that *I* have loved thee.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, *I* also will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, that no one take thy crown.

12 He that overcomes, him will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more at all out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven, from my God, and my new name.

13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

John 6:15-27

15 Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make [him] king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.

16 But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,

17 and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,

18 and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.

19 Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.

20 But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.

22 On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but [that] his disciples had gone away alone;

23 (but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)

24 when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, *they* got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

25 And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?

26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.

27 Work not [for] the food which perishes, but [for] the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, [even] God.
