Book of Common Prayer
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.
SCHIN
161 Princes have persecuted me without cause, but my heart stood in awe of Your Words.
162 I rejoice at Your Word, as one who finds a great spoil.
163 I hate falsehood and abhor it, but Your Law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise You because of Your righteous Judgments.
165 Those who love Your Law shall have great peace. And nothing shall cause them to stumble.
166 LORD, I have trusted in Your salvation; and have done Your Commandments.
167 My soul has kept Your Testimonies, for I love them exceedingly.
168 I have kept Your Precepts and Your Testimonies, for all my ways are before You.
TAU
169 Let my complaint come before You, O LORD. And give me understanding according to Your Word.
170 Let my supplication come before You and deliver me according to Your Promise.
171 My lips shall speak praise, when You have taught me Your Statutes.
172 My tongue shall testify of Your Word. For all Your Commandments are righteous.
173 Let Your hand help me, for I have chosen Your Precepts.
174 I have longed for Your salvation, O LORD; and Your Law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; and Your Judgments shall help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your Commandments. A song of degrees
128 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD and walks in His ways.
2 When you eat the labors of your hands, you shall be blessed; and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house, your children like olive plants around your table.
4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.
5 The LORD out of Zion shall bless you; and you shall see the wealth of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Indeed, you shall see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel. A song of degrees
129 “They have oftentimes afflicted me from my youth.” (may Israel now say)
2 “They have oftentimes afflicted me from my youth. But they could not prevail against me.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back and made long furrows.
4 “The righteous LORD has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 “Those who hate Zion shall be all ashamed and turned backward.
6 “They shall be as the grass on the housetops which withers before it comes forth.
7 “Of which the mower does not fill his hand, nor the gleaner his lap.
8 “Nor do those who pass by say, ‘The blessing of the LORD be upon you!’ or, ‘We bless you in the Name of the LORD!’” A song of degrees
130 Out of the deep places have I called to You, O LORD.
2 LORD, hear my voice. Let Your ears attend to the voice of my prayers.
3 If You, O LORD, straightly mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand?
4 But mercy is with You, so that You may be feared.
5 I have waited on the LORD. My soul has waited; and I have trusted in His word.
6 My soul waits on the LORD more than the morning watch watches for the morning.
7 Let Israel wait on the LORD, for with the LORD is mercy and with Him is great redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of Solomon
16 And the six hundred men, appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
17 Then the five men who went to spy out the land went in there and took the graven image and the ephod and the teraphim and the molten image. And the priest stood in the entrance of the gate, with the six hundred men who were appointed with weapons of war.
18 And the other went into Micah’s house and fetched the graven image, the ephod and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
19 And they answered him, “Hold your peace. Lay your hand upon your mouth and come with us to be our father and priest. Which is better: that you should be a priest to the house of one man or that you should be a priest to a tribe and to a family in Israel?”
20 And the priest’s heart was glad. And he took the ephod and the teraphim and the graven image and went among the people.
21 And they turned and departed and put the children and the cattle and the substance before them.
22 When they were far away from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house gathered together and pursued after the children of Dan
23 and cried to the children of Dan, who turned their faces and said to Micah, “What ails you that you make such an outcry?”
24 And he said, “You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone your ways. And what more do I have? How, then, can you say to me, ‘What ails you?’”
25 And the children of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest our angry friends run upon you, and you lose your life with the lives of your household.”
26 So the children of Dan went their ways. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
27 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came to Laish, to that quiet and trusting people, and struck them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
28 And there was no one to help, because Laish was far from Sidon, and they had no business with anyone. Also, it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. Afterward, they built the city and dwelt in it,
29 and called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However, the name of the city was Laish at the beginning.
30 Then the children of Dan set up the graven image for themselves. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, and his sons, were the priests in the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
31 So, they set up the graven image for themselves which Micah had made during the whole time the House of God was in Shiloh.
14 Now when the Apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
15 Who, when they had come down, prayed for them to receive the Holy Ghost.
16 For as yet He had not fallen down on any of them. But they had been baptized only in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Then they laid their hands on them. And they received the Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the Apostles’ hands, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 saying, “Give me this power also! So that whomever I lay hands upon may receive the Holy Ghost!”
20 Then Peter said to him, “Your money dies with you because you think that the gift of God may be obtained with money.
21 “You have neither part nor fellowship in this Word. For your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 “Therefore repent of this, your wickedness. And pray to God that if it be possible, the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 “For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.”
24 Then Simon answered, and said, “Pray to the Lord for me, that none of these things which you have spoken come upon me!”
25 So after they had testified and preached the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem and preached the Gospel in many Samaritan towns.
6 After these things, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on those who were diseased.
3 Then Jesus went up onto a mountain. And there He sat with His disciples.
4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes. And seeing that a great multitude came to Him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, so that these might eat?”
6 (He said this to test him. For He knew what he would do.)
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denari worth of bread is not sufficient for them, if every one of them takes a little.”
8 Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, one of His disciples, said to Him,
9 “There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves, and two fishes. But what are they among so many?”
10 And Jesus said, “Make the men sit down. (Now there was much grass in that place.) Then the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
11 And Jesus took the bread, and gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples. And the disciples gave to those who were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they wanted.
12 And when they were satisfied, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which remain, so that nothing is lost.”
13 Then they gathered it up and filled twelve baskets with the broken pieces of the five barley loaves, which remained from those who had eaten.
14 Then the men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet Who is to come into the world.”
15 Therefore, when Jesus perceived that they would come and take Him to make him a king, He departed again into a mountain by Himself.
