Book of Common Prayer
61 Hear my cry, O God! Give ear to my prayer!
2 From the ends of the Earth I will cry to You. When my heart is oppressed, bring me upon the Rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been my hope, a strong tower against the enemy.
4 I will dwell in Your Tabernacle forever. My trust shall be under the covering of Your wings. Selah.
5 For You, O God, have heard my desires. You have given a heritage to those who fear Your Name.
6 You shall give the king a long life. His years shall be as many ages.
7 He shall dwell before God forever. Prepare mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.
8 So I will always sing praise to Your Name in performing, daily, my vows. To the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm of David
62 Yet my soul keeps silence to God. From Him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my strength and my salvation, my defense. I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You shall all be slain. You shall be as a bowed wall, as a wall shaken.
4 Yet, they consult to cast him down from his high position. Their delight is in lies. They bless with their mouths but curse with their hearts. Selah.
5 My soul, keep silent to God only (for my hope is from Him).
6 He alone is my strength and my salvation, my defense. I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my trust.
8 Trust in Him always, you people. Pour out your hearts before Him, God our Hope. Selah.
9 Surely, men of low degree are a vapor, and the chief men liars. To lay them upon a scale, they are altogether lighter than a breath.
10 Do not trust in oppression or in robbery. Do not be vain. If riches increase, do not set your heart thereon.
11 God has spoken once, twice I have heard it, that power belongs to God;
12 and to You, O LORD, mercy. For You reward everyone according to his work. A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah
68 God will arise. His enemies shall be scattered. Also, those who hate Him shall flee before Him.
2 As the smoke vanishes, so shall You drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But the righteous shall be glad and rejoice before God. Indeed, they shall leap for joy.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to His Name! Exalt Him Who rides upon the heavens (by his Name, YAH) and rejoice before him!
5 He is a Father of the fatherless and a Judge of the widows: God in His Holy Habitation.
6 God makes the solitary dwell in families and delivers those who were held captive. But the rebellious shall dwell in a parched land.
7 O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You went through the wilderness (Selah),
8 the Earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of this God. Sinai was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 You, O God, sent a gracious rain upon Your inheritance; and You refreshed it when it was weary.
10 Your Congregation dwelled therein. You, O God, have, by Your goodness, prepared it for the poor.
11 The LORD commanded: the women shall tell of the great army.
12 Kings of the armies fled. They fled, and she who remained in the house divided the spoil.
13 Though you have lain among pots, you shall be as the wings of a dove that are covered with silver, and whose feathers are like yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as the snow in Zalmon.
15 The Mountain of God is like the mountain of Bashan. It is a high mountain, as mount Bashan.
16 Why do you leap, you high mountains? As for this Mountain, God delights to dwell in it. Indeed, the LORD will dwell in it forever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand thousand angels. The LORD is among them, as in the Sanctuary of Sinai.
18 You have gone up on high. You have led captives into captivity and received gifts for men. Indeed, even the rebellious You have led, so that the LORD God might dwell there.
19 Praised be the LORD, the God of our salvation, Who daily bears our burden. Selah.
20 This is our God, the God Who saves; and to the LORD God belongs the escapes from death.
21 Surely God will wound the head of His enemies, and the hairy scalp of him who walks in his sins.
22 The LORD has said, “I will bring My people again from Bashan. I will bring them again from the depths of the sea,
23 “so that your foot may be dipped in blood and the tongue of your dogs in the blood of your enemies; yes, your enemies.”
24 They have seen, O God, Your goings; the goings of my God and my King, Who is in the Sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players of instruments after. In the midst, the maids were playing with timbrels.
26 Praise God in the assemblies, and the LORD, you who are of the fountain of Israel!
27 There was little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah with their assembly, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Your GOD has appointed your strength. Establish, O God, that which You first wrought in us.
29 Out of Your Temple upon Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to You.
30 Destroy the company of the spearmen who tread pieces of silver under foot, along with the multitude of the mighty bulls and the calves of the people. Scatter the people who delight in war.
31 Then shall the princes come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch her hands to God.
32 Sing to God, O you kingdoms of the Earth! Sing praise to the LORD (Selah),
33 to him who rides upon the Most High Heavens, Who was from the beginning. Behold, He will send out, by His voice, a mighty sound!
34 Ascribe the power to God! His majesty is upon Israel and His strength is in the clouds!
35 O God, You are awesome out of Your Holy places! The God of Israel is He Who gives strength and power to the people! Praise God! To him who excels upon Shoshannim: A Psalm of David
2 Moreover, the Word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD: “I remember you—the kindness of your youth, the love of your marriage, when you went after Me in the wilderness in a land that was not sown—
3 “Israel, a thing hallowed to the LORD, His firstfruits. All those who eat it shall be guilty. Evil shall come upon them,” says the LORD.’”
4 Hear the Word of the LORD, O House of Jacob, and all the families of the House of Israel.
5 Thus says the LORD: “What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me, and have walked after vanity, and have become vain?
6 “For they did not say, ‘Where is the LORD Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, through a desert and waste land, through a dry land, and by the shadow of death, by a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?’
7 “And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat its fruit, and the commodities of the same. But when you entered, you defiled My land, and made My heritage an abomination.
8 “The priests did not say, ‘Where is the LORD?’ And those who should minister the Law did not know Me. The pastors also sinned against Me, and the prophets prophesied in Baal, and went after things that did not profit.
9 “Therefore, I will still plead with you,” says the LORD, “and I will plead with your children’s children.
10 “For go to the isles of Chittim and behold, and send to Kedar and take diligent heed, and see whether there are such things.
11 “Has any nation changed their gods, which yet are not gods? But My people have exchanged their glory for that which does not profit.
12 “O, you heavens, be astonished at this! Be afraid and utterly confounded,” says the LORD.
13 “For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the Fountain of Living Waters, to dig themselves pits, broken pits that can hold no water.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes; to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17 For by it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. As it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who withhold the truth in unrighteousness.
19 Because that which may be known of God is visible among them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For the invisible things of Him - that is, His eternal power and Godhead - are seen by the creation of the world; being perceived in His works, so that they are without excuse.
21 Because when they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were they thankful; but became vain in their thoughts. And their foolish heart was full of darkness.
22 When they professed themselves to be wise, they became fools.
23 For they turned the Glory of the incorruptible God to the likeness of the image of a corruptible man; and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and of creeping things.
24 Therefore, God also gave them up to the lusts of their hearts—unto uncleanness—to defile their own bodies among themselves.
25 They turned the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature, forsaking the Creator, Who is blessed forever. Amen.
43 So, two days later He departed from there and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus Himself had testified that a Prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Then when He had come into Galilee, the Galileans who had seen all the things He did at Jerusalem, at the feast, received Him. For they also went to the feast.
46 And Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He had made wine from water. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him, and urged Him to go down and heal his son. For he was about to die.
48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 The ruler said to Him, “Sir, go down before my son dies.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” And the man believed the Word that Jesus had spoken to him and went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to feel better. And they said to him, “Yesterday, the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 Then the father knew that it was the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” And he believed, and all his household.
54 This, again, is the second miracle Jesus did after He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
