Book of Common Prayer
20 The LORD hear you on the day of trouble. The Name of the God of Jacob defend you;
2 send you help from the Sanctuary and strengthen you out of Zion.
3 Let Him remember all your offerings and turn your burnt offerings into ashes. Selah.
4 Grant you according to your heart and fulfill all your purpose,
5 so that we may rejoice in your salvation—and set up the banner in the Name of our God—when the LORD shall perform all your petitions.
6 Now I know that the LORD will help His anointed; and will hear him from His Sanctuary, by the mighty help of His right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses. But we will remember the Name of the LORD our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen. But we are risen and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD! Let the king hear us on the day that we call! To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
21 The king shall rejoice in Your strength, O LORD. Indeed, how greatly shall he rejoice in Your salvation!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not denied the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For You meet him with liberal blessings and set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 He asked life of You, and You gave him a long life forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in Your salvation. Dignity and honor You have laid upon him.
6 For You have set him as most blessed forever. You have made him glad with the joy of Your countenance.
7 Because the king trusts in the LORD, and in the mercy of the Most High, he shall not slide.
8 Your hand shall find out all Your enemies. And Your right hand shall find out those who hate You.
9 You shall make them like a fiery oven in time of Your anger. The LORD shall destroy them in His wrath. And the fire shall devour them.
10 You shall destroy their fruit from the Earth, and their seed from the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against You and imagined mischief. But they shall not prevail.
12 Therefore, You shall make them turn their back. And You shall make ready the strings of Your bow against their faces.
13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength. So, will we sing and praise Your power. To him who excels upon Aijeleth Hashahar: A Psalm of David.
110 The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your power out of Zion. Be ruler in the midst of Your enemies.
3 Your people shall come willingly at the time of assembling Your army in Holy beauty. The youth of Your womb shall be as the morning dew.
4 The LORD swore, and will not repent, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord at Your right hand shall wound kings on the day of His wrath.
6 He shall be judge among the heathen. He shall fill all with dead bodies and strike the leaders of great countries.
7 He shall drink from the brook on the way. Therefore, He shall lift up His head. Praise the LORD
116 I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my prayers.
2 For He has inclined His ear to me, when I called in my days.
3 The snares of death surrounded me and the griefs of the grave caught me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the Name of the LORD, “I implore You, O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5 The LORD is merciful and righteous; and our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was in misery and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has been beneficial to you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed. Therefore, I spoke. I was very troubled.
11 I said in my fear, “All men are liars.”
12 What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me?
13 I will take the Cup of Salvation and call upon the Name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD even now, in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16 Behold, LORD, for I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid. You have broken my bonds.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of praise to You and will call upon the Name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD even now, in the presence of all His people,
19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, even in the midst of You, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
117 All nations, praise the LORD! Praise Him, all people!
2 For His lovingkindness is great toward us; and the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!
9 Then Job answered, and said,
10 “My soul loathes my life. I will leave my complaint upon myself and will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 “I will say to God, “Do not condemn me. Show me why You contend with me.
3 “Do You think it good to oppress me and to cast off the labor of Your hands, and to favor the counsel of the wicked?
4 “Have You carnal eyes? Or do You see as man sees?
5 “Are Your days as man’s days or Your years as the time of man,
6 “that You inquire of my iniquity and search out my sin?
7 “You know that I cannot do wickedly. For no one can deliver me out of Your Hand.
8 “Your Hands have made me and fashioned me, wholly, all around. And will You destroy me?
9 “Please remember that You have made me as the clay. And will You bring me to dust again?
16 “But let it increase. Hunt me as a lion. Return and show Yourself marvelous upon me.
17 “You renew Your plagues against me. And You increase Your wrath against me. Changes and armies are against me.
18 “Why, then, have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished, and that no eye had seen me,
19 “that I were as I had not been, brought from the womb to the grave!
20 “Are not my days few? Let him cease. Let me be, so that I may take a little comfort
21 “before I go and do not return, to the land of darkness and shadow of death,
22 “into a land dark as darkness itself, into the shadow of death, where is no order, but the light as darkness.”
11 Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
2 And when Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision examined him,
3 saying, “You went to uncircumcised men and have eaten with them.”
4 Then Peter began expounding it in order to them, saying,
5 “I was in the city of Joppa, praying. And while in a trance, I saw this vision: a certain vessel, coming down as a great sheet, let down from Heaven by the four corners. And it came to me.
6 “When I had fastened my eyes on it, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the Earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and birds of the heaven.
7 “Also I heard a voice, saying to me, ‘Arise, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8 “And I said, ‘Absolutely not, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
9 “But the voice answered me a second time from the sky, ‘The things that God has purified, do not make common.’
10 “And this was done three times, and all were taken up again into the sky.
11 “Then behold, immediately there were three men who had already come to the house where I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12 “And the Spirit said to me that I should go with them, without doubting. Moreover, these six brothers came with me. And we entered into the man’s house.
13 “And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
14 ‘He shall speak words to you, whereby both you and all your house shall be saved.’
15 “And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, just as upon us at the beginning.
16 “Then I remembered the Word of the Lord. How He said, ‘John baptized with water. But you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.’
17 “If, then, God gave them a similar gift to the one He gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?”
18 When they heard these things, they kept silent, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted repentance unto life to the Gentiles.”
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.”
13 Therefore, the Pharisees said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself. Your record is not true.”
14 Jesus answered, and said to them, “Even though I bear witness of Myself, My record is true. For I know from where I come, and to where I go. But you cannot tell from where I came, and to where I go.
15 “You judge after the flesh. I judge no one.
16 “If, however, I do judge, My judgment is true. For I am not alone, but I and the Father Who sent Me.
17 “And it is also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true.
18 “I am One who bears witness of Myself. And the Father, Who sent Me, bears witness of Me.”
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is this Father of Yours?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the Temple. And no one laid hands on Him. For His hour had not yet come.
