Book of Common Prayer
97 The LORD reigns. Let the Earth rejoice! Let the multitude of the isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness surround Him. Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.
3 A fire shall go before Him and burn up His enemies all around.
4 His lightnings gave light to the world. The Earth saw it and was afraid.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the LORD of the whole Earth.
6 The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the people see His Glory.
7 All those who serve graven images, who glory in idols, are confounded. Worship Him all you gods.
8 Zion heard of it and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9 For You, LORD, are Most High above all the Earth. You are much exalted above all gods.
10 You who love the LORD, hate evil. He preserves the souls of His saints. He will deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks for His holy remembrance. A Psalm
99 The LORD reigns! Let the people tremble. He sits between the Cherubims. Let the Earth be moved!
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and He is high above all the people.
3 They shall praise Your great and fearful Name (It is Holy).
4 Also, the King’s power loves judgment. You establish equity. You have executed judgment and justice in Jacob.
5 Exalt the LORD our God and bow down before His footstool. He is Holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His Priests, and Samuel among such as call upon His Name. These called upon the LORD and He heard them.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar. They kept His testimonies, the Law which He gave them.
8 You heard them, O LORD our God. You were a favorable God to them, though You took vengeance for their evil deeds.
9 Exalt the LORD our God and bow down before His Holy Mountain; for the LORD our God is Holy. A Psalm of praise
115 Not to us, O LORD, not to us; but to Your Name give the glory, for Your loving mercy and for Your truth’s sake.
2 Why shall the heathen say, “Where is their God, now?”
3 But our God is in Heaven. He does whatever He will.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 They have a mouth and do not speak. They have eyes and do not see.
6 They have ears and do not hear. They have noses and do not smell.
7 They have hands and do not touch. They have feet and do not walk; nor do they make a sound with their throat.
8 Those who make them are like them. So are all who trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
10 O House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD. He is their helper and their shield.
12 The LORD has been mindful of us. He will bless. He will bless the House of Israel. He will bless the House of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 The LORD will increase toward you, toward you and toward your children.
15 You are blessed by the LORD, Who made Heaven and Earth.
16 The heavens, even the heavens are the LORD’s; but He has given the Earth to the sons of men.
17 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor any who go down into the silence.
18 But we will praise the LORD from henceforth and forever. Praise the LORD!
7 Therefore, I will look to the LORD. I will wait for God my Savior. My God will hear me.
8 Do not rejoice against me, O my enemy! Though I fall, I shall rise. When I shall sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light to me.
9 I will bear the wrath of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. And I shall see His righteousness.
10 Then she who is my enemy shall look upon it. And shame shall cover her who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes shall behold her. Now she shall be trampled down as the mire of the streets.
11 This is the day that your walls shall be built. This day shall drive the decree far away.
12 Also at this time they shall come to you from Assyria and the strong cities, and from the strongholds to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Nevertheless, the land shall be desolate because of those who dwell in it, for the fruits of their inventions.
14 Feed Your people with Your rod, the flock of Your heritage (who dwell solitarily in the forest) in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in days of old.
15 “According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show to him marvelous things.”
3 Now Peter and John went up together into the Temple, at the ninth hour of prayer.
2 And a certain man, who was a cripple from his mother’s womb, was carried; whom they laid daily at the Temple gate called ‘Beautiful’ to ask alms of those who entered into the Temple.
3 Seeing Peter and John about to enter into the Temple, he asked to receive alms.
4 And Peter, fixing his gaze on him with John, said, “Look at us.”
5 And he stared at them, trusting to receive something from them.
6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have, that give I you. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaped up, stood, and walked; and entered into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 And they knew that it was him who sat for the alms at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. And they were amazed, and very astonished at what had happened to him.
15 “I am the true Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.
2 “Every branch that does not bear fruit in Me, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it, so that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 “Now, you are clean, through the Word which I have spoken to you.
4 “Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the Vine. You are the branches. Whoever abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit. For without Me, you can do nothing.
6 “If one does not abide in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and withers. And they are gathered up and cast into the fire, and they burn.
7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask what you will and it shall be done to you.
8 “In this My Father is glorified, so that you bear much fruit and are made My disciples.
9 “As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Continue in My love.
10 “If you shall keep My Commandments, you shall abide in My love (as I have kept My Father’s Commandments and abide in His love).
11 “These things I have spoken to you, so that My joy might remain in you and that your joy might be full.
