Book of Common Prayer
132 LORD, remember David with all his affliction.
2 Who swore to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty of Jacob,
3 “I will not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor come upon my pallet (my bed),
4 “nor allow my eyes to sleep, nor my eyelids to slumber,
5 “until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the Mighty of Jacob.”
6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah and found it in the fields of the forest.
7 We will enter into His Tabernacles and worship before His footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, into Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength.
9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Your saints rejoice.
10 For Your servant David’s sake, do not refuse the face of Your Anointed.
11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth; and He will not shrink from it, saying, “From the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.
12 “If your sons keep My Covenant, and My testimonies, so that I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion and loved to dwell in it, saying,
14 “This is My rest, forever. Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15 “I will surely bless her provisions and will satisfy her poor with bread
16 “and will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall shout for joy.
17 “There I will make the horn of David bud. I have ordained a Light for My Anointed.
18 “I will clothe His enemies with shame; but on Him His crown shall flourish.” A song of degrees, or Psalm, of Solomon
7 I will remember the mercy of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has given us, and for the great goodness toward the House of Israel which He has given them according to His tender love, and according to His great mercies.
8 For He said, “Surely they are My people, children that will not lie.” So He was their Savior.
9 In all their troubles, He was troubled. And the Angel of His presence saved them. In His love and in His mercy, He redeemed them and He bore them and carried them, always, continually.
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. Therefore, He was turned to be their enemy. He fought against them.
11 Then He remembered the old time of Moses and his people, saying, “Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His sheep? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within him?
12 “He led them by the right hand of Moses with His own glorious Arm, dividing the water before them, to make Himself an everlasting Name.
13 “He led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they would not stumble.”
14 As the beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. So did You lead Your people, to make Yourself a glorious Name.
15 Look down from Heaven, and behold from the dwelling place of Your holiness, and of Your Glory. Where is Your zeal and Your strength, the multitude of Your mercies, and of Your compassion? They are restrained from me.
16 Doubtless, You are our Father. Though Abraham is ignorant of us and Israel does not know us, You, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer. Your Name is forever.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: When His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child, from the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not willing to make her a public example, was of a mind to release her secretly.
20 But while he thought these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, the son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Ghost.
21 “And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus. For He shall save His people from their sins.”
22 And all this was done to fulfill that which is spoken from the Lord by the Prophet, saying,
23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, ‘God with us’.”
24 Then Joseph, having awakened, did as the angel of the Lord had instructed him, and took his wife.
25 But he did not know her until she had brought forth her first-born Son, and he called His name, Jesus.
34 I will always give thanks to the LORD. His praise shall be in my mouth continually.
2 My soul shall glory in the LORD. The humble shall hear it and be glad.
3 Praise the LORD with me; and let us magnify His Name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me. Indeed, He delivered me out of all my fear.
5 They shall look to Him and run; and their faces shall not be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried; and the LORD heard and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The Angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them.
8 Taste and see how gracious the LORD is. Blessed is the man who trusts in Him.
9 Fear the LORD, you, His saints. For those who fear Him lack nothing.
10 The lions lack and suffer hunger. But those who seek the LORD shall lack nothing that is good.
11 Come children, hear me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he who desires life and loves long days to see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips, so that they speak no deceit.
14 Turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and follow after it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous; and His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off their remembrance from the Earth.
17 The righteous cry and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to those who are of a contrite heart; and will save such as are afflicted in spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous. But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all His bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 Malice shall slay the wicked; and those who hate the righteous shall perish.
22 The LORD redeems the souls of His servants; and no one who trusts in Him shall perish. A Psalm of David.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 (from Whom is named every family in Heaven and on Earth)
16 so that He might grant - according to the riches of His Glory - that you be strengthened by His Spirit in the inner man;
17 So that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
18 so that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend (with all saints) what is the breadth and length and depth and height;
19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge. So that you may be filled with all fullness of God.
20 Now therefore, to the One Who is able to do all things exceedingly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us;
21 to Him be praise in the church and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations, forever. Amen.
