Book of Common Prayer
63 O God, You are my God. I will seek You early. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs greatly after You in a barren and dry land, without water.
2 Thus, when I behold Your power and Your Glory, I behold You as in the Sanctuary.
3 For Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus will I magnify You all my life and lift up my hands in Your Name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think upon You in the night watches.
7 Therefore, because You have been my helper, I will rejoice under the shadow of Your wings.
8 My soul clings to You. Your right hand upholds me.
9 Therefore, those who seek my soul to destroy it, they shall go into the lowest parts of the Earth.
10 They shall cast him down with the edge of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. All who swear by Him shall rejoice. For the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. To him who excels: A Psalm of David
98 Sing to the LORD a new song; for He has done marvelous things! His right hand and His holy arm have gotten Him the victory.
2 The LORD declared His salvation. He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered His mercy and His truth toward the House of Israel. All the ends of the Earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Sing loud to the LORD, all the Earth! Cry out and rejoice; and sing praises!
5 Sing praise to the LORD upon the harp, upon the harp with a singing voice.
6 With shofars and sound of trumpets sing loud before the LORD the King.
7 Let the sea roar and all that therein is, the world and those who dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands! Let the mountains rejoice together
9 before the LORD! For He has come to judge the Earth. With righteousness shall He judge the world, and the people with equity.
103 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me! Praise His Holy Name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits!
3 Who forgives all your iniquity and heals all your infirmities.
4 Who redeems your life from the grave and crowns you with mercy and compassions.
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things; and your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all who are oppressed.
7 He made His ways known to Moses and His works to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness.
9 He will not always strive with us; nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heaven is above the Earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our sins from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
14 For He knows whereof we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
15 The days of man are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind goes over it and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD endures forever and ever upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness upon children’s children
18 to those who keep His Covenant and remember His Commandments, to do them.
19 The LORD has prepared His throne in Heaven, and His Kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the LORD, His angels, who excel in strength! Who do His Commandment in obeying the voice of His word!
21 Praise the LORD, all His hosts; His servants who do His pleasure!
22 Praise the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion! My soul, praise the LORD!
8 “You shall keep all the Commandments which I command you this day, to do them, so that you may live and be multiplied and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
2 “And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His Commandments or not.
3 “Therefore, He humbled you and made you hungry and fed you with manna, which you did not know (nor did your fathers know it), so that He might teach you that man lived not by bread only. But by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of the LORD does a man live.
4 “Your clothing did not grow old upon you, nor did your foot swell, those forty years.
5 “Know, therefore, in your heart, that as a man nurtures his son, so the LORD your God nurtures you.
6 “Therefore, you shall keep the Commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may walk in His ways, and fear Him.
7 “For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land in which are rivers of water and fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and mountains,
8 “a land of wheat and barley and of vineyards and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of oil, olive and honey,
9 “a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity and in which you shall lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron and out of whose mountains you shall dig brass.
10 “And when you have eaten and filled yourself, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel (not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect).
18 For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness. But to us who are saved, it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will cast away the understanding of the prudent.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world in its own wisdom did not know God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe;
22 seeing also that the Jews require a sign, and the Grecians seek after wisdom.
23 But we preach Christ crucified, indeed a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Grecians.
24 But to those who are called, both of the Jews and Grecians, we preach Christ: the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man, and the weakness of God is stronger than man.
26 For brothers, you see your calling: how that not many are wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. And God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty things.
28 And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, God has chosen, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.
29 That no flesh should boast in His presence.
30 But you are of Him in Christ Jesus, Who, out of God, is made wisdom and righteousness to us, and sanctification, and redemption.
31 That it may be as it is written, ‘The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord’.
18 And the disciples of John and the Pharisees fasted, and came and said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and Your disciples do not?”
19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the children of the marriage chamber fast while the Bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the Bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 “But the days will come when the Bridegroom shall be taken from them. And then shall they fast, in those days.
21 “Also no one sows a piece of new cloth in an old garment. For the new piece that filled it up will take away somewhat from the old. And the breach is worse.
22 “Likewise, no one puts new wine into old vessels. For the new wine will break the vessels, and the wine will run out, and the vessels are lost. But new wine must be put into new vessels.”
