Book of Common Prayer
75 We will praise You, O God! We will praise You, for Your Name is near! They will declare Your wondrous works.
2 “When I shall take a convenient time, I will judge righteously.
3 “The Earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved; but I will establish the pillars of it. Selah.
4 “I said to the foolish, ‘Do not be so foolish,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.
5 “‘Do not lift up your horn on High, nor speak with a stiff neck.’”
6 For exaltation is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge. He makes low and He makes high.
8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine is foaming. It is fully mixed, and He pours out of the same. Surely, all the wicked of the Earth shall drain and drink the dregs thereof.
9 But I will declare forever and sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Also, all the horns of the wicked I will break. But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. To him who excels on Neginoth: a Psalm, or song, committed to Asaph
76 God is known in Judah. His Name is great in Israel.
2 For in Salem is His Tabernacle; and His dwelling is in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are brighter and more excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stout-hearted are spoiled. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of strength have not found their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast dead asleep.
7 You. You are to be feared. And who shall stand in Your sight when You are angry!
8 You caused judgment to be heard from Heaven. The Earth feared, and was still,
9 when You, O God, rose to judgment to help all the meek of the Earth. Selah.
10 Surely, the rage of man shall turn to Your praise; the remnant of the rage You shall restrain.
11 Vow and perform to the LORD your God, all you who surround Him; let them bring presents to Him Who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is feared by the kings of the Earth. For the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm committed to Asaph
23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to rest in green pasture and leads me by the still waters.
3 He restores my soul and leads me in the paths of righteousness, for His Name’s sake.
4 Indeed, though I should walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the sight of my adversaries. You anoint my head with oil; and my cup runs over.
6 Doubtless, kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I shall remain in the House of the LORD forever. A Psalm of David.
27 The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked—even my enemies—and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army encamped against me, my heart shall not be afraid. Though war is raised against me, I will trust in this.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that I will require: That I may dwell in the House of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to visit His Temple.
5 For in the time of trouble, He shall hide me in His Tabernacle. In the secret place of His pavilion, He shall hide me and set me up upon a rock.
6 And now, He shall lift up my head above my enemies all around me. Therefore, I will offer sacrifices of joy in His Tabernacle. I will sing and praise the LORD.
7 Hear my voice, O LORD, when I cry. Have mercy, also, upon me and hear me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart answered You, “O LORD, I will seek Your face.”
9 Do not hide, therefore, Your face from me, nor cast Your servant away in displeasure. You have been my succor; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and my mother should forsake me, yet the LORD will gather me up.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me in a right path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not give me to the lust of my adversaries. For there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak cruelly.
13 I should have fainted, except I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Hope in the LORD. Be strong, and He shall comfort Your heart; and trust in the LORD. A Psalm of David.
3 “But you, witches’ children, come here, the seed of the adulterer and of the whore.
4 “Of whom do you make sport? Upon whom have you gaped and thrust out your tongue? Are not you rebellious children, a false seed,
5 “inflamed with idols under every green tree and sacrificing the children in the valleys under the tops of the rocks?
6 “Your portion is in the smooth stones of the river. They, they are your lot. To them have you poured a drink offering. You have offered a sacrifice. Should I delight in these?
7 “You have made your bed upon a very high mountain. You went up there, even there, to offer sacrifice.
8 “You have also set up your remembrance behind the doors and posts. For you have uncovered yourself to one other than Me, and gone up, enlarged your bed, and made a covenant between yourself and them, and loved their bed in every place where you saw it.
9 “You went to the kings with oil and increased your ointments, sent your messengers far off, and humbled yourself into Hell.
10 “You wearied yourself in your manifold journeys. You did not say, ‘There is no hope.’ You have found life by your hand. Therefore you were not grieved.
11 “And whom did you reverence or fear, seeing you have lied to Me, and have not remembered Me, or set your mind thereon? Is it not because I hold My peace, and for a long time, that you do not fear Me?
12 “I will declare your righteousness and your works, and they shall not profit you.
13 “When you cry, let those whom you have gathered together deliver you. But the wind shall take them all away. Vanity shall pull them away. But he who trusts in Me shall inherit the land and shall possess My Holy Mountain.
25 If we live in the Spirit, we should also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not become boastful, provoking one another, envying one another.
6 Brothers, even if a man should be overcome in some offense, you who are spiritual restore such one with the spirit of humility, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.
2 Bear one another’s burden, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.
3 For if anyone seems to himself something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let everyone test his own work. And then shall he boast in himself only and not in another.
5 For everyone shall bear his own burden.
6 Let the one who is taught in the Word make the one who has taught him a partaker of all good things.
7 Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
8 For the one who sows to his flesh, shall reap destruction of the flesh. But the one who sows to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 Let us not, therefore, be weary of well-doing. For in due season we shall reap, if we do not grow weary.
10 Therefore, while we have time, let us do good to all; and now especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
14 And when He came to His disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 And immediately all the people, when they saw Him, were amazed and ran to Him and greeted Him.
16 Then He asked the scribes, “What are you disputing among yourselves?”
17 And one of the crowd answered, and said, “Master, I have brought my son to You, who has a mute spirit!
18 And wherever I have taken him, the spirit has seized him. And he foams and gnashes his teeth and pines away. And I asked Your disciples to cast him out and they could not.”
19 Then Jesus answered him, and said, “O faithless generation! How long now shall I be with you? How long now shall I put up with you?! Bring him to Me.”
20 So they brought him to Jesus. And as soon as the spirit saw Him, he seized the child. And he fell down on the ground wallowing and foaming.
21 Then He asked his father, “How long has he been this way?” And he said, “His whole childhood.
22 “And often he casts him into the fire, or into the water, to destroy him. But if You can do anything, help us and have compassion upon us.”
23 And Jesus said to him, “If you can believe it, all things are possible to the one who believes.”
24 And immediately the father of the child, crying with tears, said, “Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you come out of him! And enter into him no more!”
26 Then the spirit cried, and seized the child again, and came out. And the child was as one dead; so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 But Jesus took his hand and lifted him up. And he arose.
28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him secretly, “Why couldn’t we cast him out?”
29 And He said to them, “This kind can come forth by no other means but prayer and fasting.”
