Book of Common Prayer
MEM
97 Oh how love I Your Law! It is my meditation continually.
98 By Your Commandments You have made me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me.
99 I have had more understanding than all my teachers, for Your Testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understood more than the aged, because I kept Your Precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your Word.
102 I have not turned away from Your Judgments, for You have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your promises to my mouth; yea, more than honey to my mouth!
104 By Your Precepts I have gotten understanding. Therefore, I hate all the ways of falsehood.
NUN
105 Your Word is a lantern to my feet, and a light to my paths.
106 I have sworn and will perform it, that I will keep Your righteous Judgments.
107 I am very afflicted, O LORD. Quicken me according to Your Word.
108 O LORD, I beg you, accept the free offering of my mouth and teach me Your Judgments.
109 My life is continually in my hand. Yet, I do not forget Your Law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not swerve from Your Precepts.
111 I have inherited Your Testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have extended my heart to fulfill Your Statutes always, even to the end.
SAMECH
113 I hate doublemindedness. But Your Law do I love.
114 You are my refuge and shield, and I trust in Your Word.
115 Away from me, you wicked, for I will keep the Commandments of my God.
116 Establish me according to Your Promise, that I may live. And do not disappoint my hope.
117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe; and I will delight continually in Your Statutes.
118 You have rejected all those who depart from Your Statutes, for their deceit is useless.
119 You have taken away all the wicked of the Earth like dross, therefore I love Your Testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles for the fear of You, and I am afraid of Your Judgments.
81 Sing joyfully to God our strength! Sing loud to the God of Jacob!
2 Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the viol.
3 Blow the trumpet on the New Moon, in the time appointed at our Feast day.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, a Law of the God of Jacob.
5 He set this in Joseph for a testimony. When He came out of the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not understand.
6 “I have withdrawn his shoulder from the burden. His hands have left the pots.
7 “You called in affliction and I delivered you, answered you in the secret of the thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 “Hear, O My people, and I will testify to you, O Israel, if you will listen to me
9 “and will have no strange god in you or worship any strange god
10 “(for I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt). Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!
11 “But My people would not hear My voice, and Israel would have none of Me.
12 “So, I gave them up to the hardness of their heart, and they have walked in their own counsels.
13 “Oh that My people had listened to me, and Israel had walked in My ways!
14 “I would soon have humbled their enemies and turned My hand against their adversaries.
15 “The haters of the LORD will feign subjection to Him, but their time would endure forever.
16 “And I would have fed them with the fat of wheat, and with honey out of the rock would I have sufficed you.” A Psalm committed to Asaph
82 God stands in the assembly of gods. He judges among gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Do right to the poor and fatherless. Do justice to the poor and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy. Save them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know, and understand nothing. They walk in darkness. All the foundations of the Earth are moved.
6 I have said, “You are gods. And you all are children of the Most High.
7 “But you shall die as a man. And you, Princes, shall fall like others.”
8 O God, arise! Judge the Earth! For You shall inherit all nations. A song, or Psalm, committed to Asaph
18 I would have comforted myself against sorrow, but my heart is heavy in me.
19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a far country, “Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, and with strange vanities?”
20 “The harvest is past! The summer has ended! And we are not saved!”
21 Because of the brokenness of the daughter of my people, I am broken. I mourn. Astonishment has taken me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no Physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
9 Oh, that my head were full of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers, and an assembly of rebels!
3 “And they bend their tongues like their bows, for lies. But they have no courage for the truth upon the Earth. For they proceed from evil to worse, and they have not known Me,” says the LORD.
4 “Let everyone observe his neighbor. And do not trust in any brother. For every brother will use deceit, and every friend will deal deceitfully.
5 “And everyone will deceive his friend, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies, and take great pains to do wickedly.
6 “Your habitation is in the midst of deceivers. Because of deceit, they refuse to know Me,” says the LORD.
5 Then, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 by Whom, through faith, we also have access into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God.
3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings forth patience
4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope.
5 And hope does not humiliate. Because the Holy Ghost, Who is given to us, drenches our hearts with the love of God.
6 For Christ, when we were still without strength, at His time, died for the ungodly.
7 Doubtless, one will scarcely die for a righteous man. Although, for a good man it may be that one dare die.
8 But God exhibits his love towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more, then, being justified now by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more so (being reconciled) shall we be saved by his life.
11 And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.”
13 Therefore, the Pharisees said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself. Your record is not true.”
14 Jesus answered, and said to them, “Even though I bear witness of Myself, My record is true. For I know from where I come, and to where I go. But you cannot tell from where I came, and to where I go.
15 “You judge after the flesh. I judge no one.
16 “If, however, I do judge, My judgment is true. For I am not alone, but I and the Father Who sent Me.
17 “And it is also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true.
18 “I am One who bears witness of Myself. And the Father, Who sent Me, bears witness of Me.”
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is this Father of Yours?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the Temple. And no one laid hands on Him. For His hour had not yet come.
