Book of Common Prayer
5 Hear my words, O LORD. Understand my meditation.
2 Hear the voice of my cry, my King and my God. For to you I pray.
3 Hear my voice in the morning, O LORD. In the morning I will direct myself to You, and I will wait.
4 For You are not a God Who loves wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You.
5 The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all those who work iniquity.
6 You shall destroy those who speak lies. The LORD will abhor the bloody man, and deceitful.
7 But I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy. In Your fear I will worship toward Your Holy Temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies. Make Your way plain before my face.
9 For no constancy is in their mouth. Inside they are very corruption. Their throat is an open sepulcher. They flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy them, O God. Let them fall from their counsels. Cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they have rebelled against You.
11 And let all those who trust in You rejoice, and triumph forever. And cover them. And let those who love Your Name rejoice in You.
12 For You, LORD, will bless the righteous. You will surround him with favor, as with a shield. To him who excels on Neginoth, upon the eight tune: A Psalm of David.
6 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chastise me in Your wrath.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am weak. O LORD, heal me, for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also very troubled. But LORD, how long will You delay?
4 Return, O LORD. Deliver my soul. Save me for Your mercy’s sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of You. In the grave, who shall praise You?
6 I fainted in my mourning. Every night I cause my bed to swim, and water my couch with my tears.
7 My eye is dimmed for grief, and sunk in because of all my enemies.
8 Away from me all you workers of iniquity. For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my petition. The LORD will receive my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be confounded and very vexed. They shall be turned back and put to shame suddenly. Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the son of Benjamin.
10 Why do you stand afar off, O LORD, hiding Yourself in time of trouble?
2 With pride, the wicked persecute the poor. Let them be taken in the crafts that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked has boasted of his own heart’s desire; and the covetous blesses himself and despises the LORD.
4 The wicked is so proud that he does not seek. He thinks always, “There is no God.”
5 His ways always prosper. Your judgments are high above his sight. He defies all his enemies.
6 He says in his heart, “I shall never be moved, nor be in danger.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 He lies in wait in the villages. He murders the innocent in the secret places. His eyes are bent against the poor.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den. He lies in wait to catch the poor. He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 He crouches and bows. Therefore, heaps of the poor fall by his might.
11 He has said in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face and will never see.”
12 Arise, O LORD God. Lift up Your hand. Do not forget the poor.
13 Why do the wicked despise God? He says in his heart, “You will not see.”
14 Yet You have seen it. For You behold mischief and wrong, so that You may take it into Your hands. The poor commits himself to You. You are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and malicious. Search his wickedness until you shall find none.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever. The heathen are destroyed from His land.
17 LORD, You have heard the desire of the oppressed. You prepare their heart. You bend Your ear
18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, so that earthly man causes no more fear. To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
11 In the LORD I put my trust. How, then, can you say to my soul, “Flee to your mountain as a bird”?
2 For lo, the wicked bend their bow and make ready their arrows upon the string, so that they may secretly shoot at those who are upright in heart.
3 For if the foundations are cast down, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in His Holy palace. The LORD’s throne is in the sky. His eyes behold. His eyelids try the children of men.
5 The LORD will try the righteous. But the wicked, and he who loves iniquity, His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and stormy tempest. This is the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness. His face beholds the just. To him who excels upon the eight tune: A Psalm of David.
25 “To whom now will you liken Me, that I should be like?” says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high and behold who has created these things, and brings out their armies by number, and calls them all by names. By the greatness of His power and mighty strength nothing fails.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD. And my judgment is passed over by my God?”
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, has created the ends of the Earth? He neither faints nor is weary. There is no searching of His understanding.
29 He gives strength to him who faints. And to him who has no strength, he increases power.
30 Even the youth shall faint and be weary. And the young men shall stumble and fall.
31 But those who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength. They shall ascend with wings, as the eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And they shall walk and not faint.
15 Therefore, also, after I heard of the faith which you have in the Lord Jesus, and love toward all the saints,
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, might give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation through the knowledge of Him,
18 that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what the hope is of His calling, and what the riches are of His glorious inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His strength;
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised him from the dead, and set Him at His right hand in the Heavenly realms,
21 far above every principality and power and might and domination, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in the coming one.
22 And all things have been put under His feet. And He has been given headship over all things of the Church,
23 which is His body - the fullness of Him Who fills all in all.
14 Now after John was committed to prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled! And the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and believe the Gospel!”
16 And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me. And I will make you fishers of men.”
18 And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 And when He had gone a little further, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the ship, mending their nets.
20 And He called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired servants and followed Him.
21 So they entered into Capernaum. And immediately on the Sabbath day, He entered into the Synagogue, and taught.
22 And they were astonished at His doctrine. For He taught them as One Who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was a man in their Synagogue in whom was an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 saying, “Ah, what have we to do with You, O Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are: even the Holy One of God.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold your peace, and come out of him.”
26 And the unclean spirit tore at him, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed. And they asked one another, saying, “What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For He commands even the foul spirits with authority, and they obey Him.”
28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region bordering on Galilee.
