Book of Common Prayer
TZADDI
137 Righteous are You, O LORD, and just are Your Judgments.
138 You have commanded justice by Your Testimonies and Truth, especially.
139 My zeal has even consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten Your Words.
140 Your Word is proved most pure. And Your servant loves it.
141 I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your Precepts.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. And Your Law is Truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have come upon me. Yet are the Commandments my delight.
144 The righteousness of Your Testimonies is everlasting. Grant me understanding, and I shall live.
KOPH
145 I have cried with my whole heart, “Hear me, O LORD, and I will keep Your Statutes!”
146 I called upon You, “Save me, and I will keep Your Testimonies!”
147 I arose before the morning light and cried, for I waited on Your Word.
148 My eyes are open before the night watches, to meditate on Your Word.
149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness, O LORD. Quicken me according to Your judgment.
150 They draw near who follow after malice; and are far from Your Law.
151 You are near, O LORD, for all Your Commandments are true.
152 I have long known by Your Testimonies that You have established them forever.
RESH
153 Behold my affliction, and deliver me, for I have not forgotten Your Law.
154 Plead my cause and deliver me. Quicken me according to Your Word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked, because they do not seek Your Statutes.
156 Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD. Quicken me according to Your Judgments.
157 My persecutors and my oppressors are many. Yet I do not swerve from Your Testimonies.
158 I saw the transgressors and was grieved, because they did not keep Your Word.
159 Consider, O LORD, how I love Your Precepts. Quicken me according to Your lovingkindness.
160 The beginning of Your Word is Truth. And all the Judgments of Your righteousness endure forever.
23 But Job answered, and said,
2 “Though my talk be in bitterness today, and my plague greater than my groaning,
3 “I wish that I knew how to find Him. I would enter into His place.
4 “I would plead the cause before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 “I would know the Words He would answer me and would understand what He would say to me.
6 “Would He plead against me with His great power? No, He would surely acknowledge me.
7 “There the righteous might reason with Him. So I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8 “Behold, if I go to the East, He is not there. If to the West, yet I cannot perceive Him.
9 “If to the North where He works, yet I cannot see Him. He will hide Himself in the South, and I cannot behold Him.
10 “But He knows my way, and tries me. I shall come forth like gold.
11 “My foot has followed His steps. I have kept His way, and have not declined.
12 “Nor have I departed from the Commandment of His Lips. I have treasured the Words of His Mouth more than my appointed food.
43 The following day, Jesus wished to go into Galilee. And He found Philip, and said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets – Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph!”
46 Then Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, “Behold, indeed an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 Nathanael said to Him, “From where do You know me? Jesus answered, and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael answered, and said to Him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus answered, and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree’, you believe? You shall see greater things than these.”
51 And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see Heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
139 O LORD, You have searched me and known.
2 You know my sitting and my rising. You understand my thoughts afar off.
3 You winnow my paths, and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue but that You know it wholly, O LORD.
5 You fortify me behind and before and lay Your hand upon me.
6 Your knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is so high that I cannot attain to it.
7 Where shall I go from Your Spirit; or where shall I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into Heaven, You are there. If I lie down in Hell, You are there.
9 Let me take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea.
10 Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall hide me,” even the night shall be light around me.
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and light are both alike.
13 For You have possessed my core. You have covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wondrously made. Marvelous are Your works; and my soul knows it well!
15 My bones are not hidden from You; though I was made in secret, fashioned beneath, in the Earth.
16 Your eyes saw me when I was without form; for in Your Book were all things written, days fashioned at a time when there were still none of them.
17 How dear, therefore, are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh that You would slay, O God, the wicked and bloody men. Depart from me
20 those who speak wickedly of You! Your enemies are lifted up in vain.
21 Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not earnestly contend with those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with an unfeigned hatred, as if they were my enemies.
23 Try me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my thoughts
24 and consider if there is any way of wickedness in me. And lead me in the Way, forever. To him who excels: A Psalm of David
20 Now, there were certain Greeks among them who came up to worship at the Feast.
21 And they came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew. And then Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man must be glorified.
24 “Truly, truly I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.
25 “The one who loves his life, shall lose it. And the one who hates his life in this world, shall keep it to life eternal.
26 “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me. For where I am, there My servant shall be. And if anyone serves Me, My Father will honor him.
