Book of Common Prayer
1 ¶ I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him all of my days.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me and the pains of Sheol found me; I encountered trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD, saying, O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 ¶ I believed, therefore I spoke, and was greatly afflicted;
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of saving health and invoke the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his merciful ones.
16 This is so, O LORD, because I am thy slave; I am thy slave, the son of thine handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of praise and will invoke the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Halelu-JAH.
14 ¶ Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout with joy O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all thy heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 The LORD has taken away thy judgments; he has cast out thine enemy; the LORD is king of Israel in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more.
16 In that time it shall be said to Jerusalem, Do not fear; and to Zion, Do not let thine hands be slack.
17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.
18 I will gather those that are weary because of the long time, who are thine, unto whom her confusion was a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee; and I will save her that is lame and gather her that was driven out; and I will make them a praise and of good reputation in every land where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you; for I will give you as fame and as praise among all peoples of the earth, when I shall return your captives before your eyes, saith the LORD.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
16 ¶ And when the sabbath of the great feast of the passover was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome had bought sweet spices that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first of the sabbaths, they come unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting to the right hand side, covered in a long white garment; and they were frightened.
6 But he said unto them, Do not be frightened; Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified; he is risen; he is not here; behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him as he said unto you.
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1 ¶ I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou gavest me life from my descent into the grave.
4 Let his merciful ones sing unto the LORD, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endures but a moment; in his will is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 ¶ And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I will cry unto thee, O GOD; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O LORD and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness;
12 to the end that I may sing glory unto thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
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 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 For in the same manner that the sufferings of the Christ abound in us, so also our consolation abounds by Christ.
6 And if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and saving health, which is effected in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and saving health.
7 ¶ And our hope of you is steadfast, being certain, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
