Book of Common Prayer
25 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
2 My God, I trust in You. Let me not be confounded. Do not let my enemies rejoice over me.
3 So all who hope in You shall not be ashamed. Let those who transgress without cause be confounded.
4 Show me Your ways, O LORD, and teach me Your paths.
5 Lead me forth in Your truth and teach me. For You are the God of my salvation. In You do I trust, all the day.
6 Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies, and Your lovingkindness. For they have been forever.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my rebellions. But according to Your kindness remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.
8 Gracious and righteous are the LORD. Therefore, He will teach sinners in the way.
9 Those who are meek, He will guide in judgment and teach the humble His way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 For Your Name’s sake, O LORD, be merciful to my iniquity. For it is great.
12 What man is he who fears the LORD? He will teach him the way he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of the LORD is revealed to those who fear Him, and His Covenant, to give them understanding.
15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD. For He will bring my feet out of the net.
16 Turn Your face to me; and have mercy upon me. For I am desolate and poor.
17 The sorrows of my heart are enlarged. Draw me out of my troubles.
18 Look upon my affliction, and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
19 Behold my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Keep my soul and deliver me. Let me not be confounded; for I trust in You.
21 Let my uprightness and equity preserve me; for my hope is in You.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all its troubles. A Psalm of David.
9 I will praise the LORD with my whole heart. I will speak of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, O Most High,
3 because my enemies are turned back. They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause. You are set on the Throne, and judge righteously.
5 You have rebuked the heathen. You have destroyed the wicked. You have put out their name forever and ever.
6 O enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end. And you have destroyed the cities. Their memorial has perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall sit forever. He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 For He shall judge the world in righteousness; shall judge the people with equity.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in time and in affliction.
10 And those who know Your Name will trust in You. For You, LORD, have not failed those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, Who dwells in Zion. Show the people His works.
12 For when He enquires after blood, He remembers it; not forgetting the complaint of the poor.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You Who lifts me up from the gates of death,
14 so that I may show all Your praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion and rejoice in Your salvation.
15 The heathen are sunken down in the pit they made. Their foot is taken in the net they have hidden.
16 The LORD is known by executing judgment. The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall return to Hell, and all nations that forget God.
18 For the poor shall not be always forgotten. The hope of the afflicted shall not perish forever.
19 Up LORD! Do not let man prevail! Let the heathen be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD, so that the heathen may know that they are but men. Selah.
15 LORD, who shall dwell in Your Tabernacle? Who shall rest on Your Holy Mountain?
2 He who walks uprightly and works righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart;
3 he who does not slander with his tongue, nor do evil to his neighbor, nor receive a false report against his neighbor;
4 in whose eyes a vile person is despised; but honors those who fear the LORD. He who swears to his own injury yet does not change.
5 He who does not give his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. Michtam of David.
19 it is you, O king, who is great and mighty. For your greatness has grown, and reaches to Heaven; and your dominion to the ends of the Earth.
20 “And whereas the king saw a watchman, and a holy one, who came down from heaven, and said, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it, yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth. And, with a band of iron and brass, bind it among the grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him’,
21 “This is the interpretation, O king. And it is the decree of the Most High, who has come upon my lord the king;
22 “That they shall drive you from men. And your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass, as the oxen. And, they shall wet you with the dew of heaven. And seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the most High bears rule over the kingdom of men; and gives it to whomever he will.
23 “And whereas they said that one should ‘leave the stump of the tree roots’, your kingdom shall remain yours. After that, you shall know that the heavens rule.
24 “Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you. And break off your sins by righteousness; and your iniquities by mercy towards the poor. Lo, let there be a healing of your error.”
25 All these things came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
26 At the end of twelve months, he walked in the royal palace of Babel.
27 And the king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babel that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?”
19 For by this we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before Him.
20 For if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, then we have boldness toward God.
22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His Commandments and do those things which are pleasing in His sight.
23 This, then, is His Commandment: that we believe in the Name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as He commanded.
24 For the one who keeps His Commandments dwells in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us: by that Spirit which He has given us.
4 Dearly beloved, do not believe every spirit. But test the spirits to see if they are of God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you shall know the Spirit of God: Every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God.
3 And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is not of God. But this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whom you have heard; how that he would come and is now already in this world.
4 Little children, you are of God; and have overcome them! For greater is He Who is in you than he who is in this world.
5 They are of this world. Therefore, they speak of this world. And this world hears them.
6 We are of God. The one who knows God hears us. The one who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.
14 And Jesus returned (by the power of the Spirit) into Galilee. And word spread of Him throughout all the surrounding region.
15 For He taught in their synagogues and was honored by all.
16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been raised. And as was His custom, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 And the book of the Prophet Isaiah was given to Him. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poor. He has sent Me, that I should heal the brokenhearted, that I should preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind; that I should set at liberty those who are bruised,
19 and that I should preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 And He closed the book, and returned it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.
21 Then He began to say to them, “This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
22 And all bore Him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth, and said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?”
23 Then He said to them, “You will surely say to me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal Yourself. Whatever we have heard was done in Capernaum, do it here also in Your own country.’”
24 And He said, “Truly I say to you, no Prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 “But I tell you the truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when Heaven was shut three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land.
26 “But to none of them was Elijah sent, except to a certain widow in Zarephath, of Sidon.
27 “Also, many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the Prophet. Yet none of them was made clean, except Naaman the Syrian.”
28 When all those in the synagogue heard that, they were filled with wrath,
29 and rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led him to the edge of the hill whereupon their city was built, to cast Him over.
30 But He passed through the midst of them, and went His way,
