Book of Common Prayer
The Voice of the Lord in the Storm.
A Psalm of David.
29 (A)Ascribe to the Lord, [a]sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory [b]due His name;
Worship the Lord (B)in holy attire.
3 The (C)voice of the Lord is on the waters;
The God of glory (D)thunders,
The Lord is over [c](E)many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is (F)powerful,
The voice of the Lord is majestic.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
Yes, the Lord breaks (G)the cedars of Lebanon in pieces.
6 He makes Lebanon (H)skip like a calf,
And (I)Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord divides [d]flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord [e]shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the wilderness of (J)Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes (K)the deer give birth
And strips the forests bare;
And (L)in His temple everything says, “Glory!”
A Call to Praise the Lord for His Righteousness.
A Psalm.
98 Sing a (A)new song to the Lord,
For He has done (B)wonderful things,
His (C)right hand and His (D)holy arm have [a]gained the victory for Him.
2 (E)The Lord has made His salvation known;
He has (F)revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has (G)remembered His graciousness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
(H)All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
18 “For I [a]know their works and their (A)thoughts; [b]the time is coming to (B)gather all the nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. 19 And I will put a (C)sign among them and send survivors from them to the nations: (D)Tarshish, [c]Put, (E)Lud, [d]Meshech, (F)Tubal, and [e]Javan, to the distant (G)coastlands that have neither heard of My fame nor seen My glory. And they will (H)declare My glory among the nations. 20 Then they shall (I)bring all your countrymen from all the nations as a grain offering to the Lord, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to My (J)holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a (K)clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21 I will also take some of them as (L)priests and Levites,” says the Lord.
22 “For just as the (M)new heavens and the new earth,
Which I make, will endure before Me,” declares the Lord,
“So will your (N)descendants and your (O)name endure.
23 And it shall be from (P)new moon to new moon
And from Sabbath to Sabbath,
All [f]mankind will come to (Q)bow down before Me,” says the Lord.
7 Therefore, [a](A)accept one another, just as Christ also accepted [b]us, for the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ has become a servant to (B)the circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, to confirm (C)the promises given to the fathers, 9 and for (D)the Gentiles to (E)glorify God for His mercy; as it is written:
“(F)Therefore I will [c]give praise to You among the Gentiles,
And I will sing praises to Your name.”
10 Again he says,
“(G)Rejoice, you Gentiles, with His people.”
11 And again,
“(H)Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him.”
12 Again Isaiah says,
“(I)There shall come (J)the root of Jesse,
And He who arises to rule over the Gentiles,
(K)In Him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all (L)joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope (M)by the power of the Holy Spirit.
