Book of Common Prayer
24 The Earth is the LORD’s and all that therein is, the world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the Mountain of the LORD? And who shall stand in His Holy Place?
4 He who has innocent hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his mind to vanity nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, of those who seek Your face. This is Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates. And be lifted up, you everlasting doors. And the King of Glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of Glory: The LORD, strong and mighty. The LORD, mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates. And lift up yourselves, you everlasting doors. And the King of Glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of Glory: The LORD of Hosts. He is the King of Glory. Selah. A Psalm of David.
29 Give to the LORD, you sons of the Mighty. Give to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give to the LORD glory due His Name. Worship the LORD in the glorious Sanctuary.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters. The God of Glory makes it thunder. The LORD is upon the great waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is mighty. The voice of the LORD is glorious.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars. Indeed, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He also makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Shirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness tremble. The LORD makes the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.
9 The voice of the LORD makes the hinds calve and discovers the forests. In His Temple, every man speaks of His Glory.
10 The LORD sits upon the floods; and the LORD remains King forever.
11 The LORD shall give strength to His people. The LORD shall bless His people with peace. A Psalm or song of the dedication of the House of David.
8 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world; Who has set Your Glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of children and infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies; that You might cease the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I behold Your heavens, the works of Your fingers; the moon and the stars which You have ordained,
4 what is man that You are mindful of him; and the son of man that You seek him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than God and crowned him with glory and worship.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands. You have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen; indeed, and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air and the fish of the sea; that which passes through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world! To him who excels upon Muth Labben: A Psalm of David.
84 O LORD of Hosts, how lovely are Your Tabernacles!
2 My soul longs, indeed, and fainted for the courts of the LORD! My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God!
3 Indeed, the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for her; where she may lay her young by Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your House. They will ever praise You. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are Your ways.
6 They, going through the valley of Baca, make wells therein. The rain also covers the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, until every one appears before God in Zion.
8 O, LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer! Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.
9 Behold, O God Our Shield, and look upon the face of Your Anointed.
10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the House of my God than to dwell in the tabernacles of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is the Sun and Shield. The LORD will give grace and glory; and He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.
12 O, LORD of Hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You. To him who excels: A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah
38 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
18 “Have you perceived the breadth of the Earth? Tell if you know all this.
19 “Where is the way where light dwells? And where is the place of darkness,
20 “so that you should receive it in its bounds, and so that you should know the paths to its house?
21 “Did you know it because you were alive then, and the number of your days is great?
22 “Have you entered into the treasures of the snow? Or have you seen the treasures of the hail
23 “which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of war and battle?
24 “By what way is the light parted which scatters the East wind upon the Earth?
25 “Who has divided the spouts for the rain, or the way for the lightning of the thunders,
26 “to cause it to rain on the Earth where no man is, and in the wilderness where there is no man,
27 “to satisfy the wild and waste place, and to cause the bud of the herb to spring forth?
28 “Who is the father of the rain? Or who has begotten the drops of the dew?
29 “Out of whose womb came the ice? Who has borne the frost of the heaven?
30 “The waters are hidden as a stone, and the face of the depth is frozen.
31 “Can you restrain the sweet influences of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 “Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in their time? Can you also guide Arcturus with his sons?
33 “Do you know the course of heaven, or can you set its rule on the Earth?
34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, so that the abundance of water may cover you?
35 “Can you send the lightning so that it may walk, and say to you, ‘Lo, here we are’?
36 “Who has put wisdom in the core? Or who has given the heart understanding?
37 “Who can number clouds by wisdom? Or who can cause the bottles of heaven to cease
38 “when the Earth grows into hardness, and the clots hold together?”
18 And after these things, I saw another angel come down from Heaven, having great power, so that the Earth was lightened with his glory,
2 And he cried out mightily with a loud voice, saying, “It is fallen! It is fallen! Babylon, that great city, has become the habitation of demons, and the prison of all foul spirits, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird!
3 “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the Earth have committed fornication with her. And the merchants of the Earth have grown rich on the abundance of her pleasures!”
4 And I heard another voice from Heaven say, “Come out of her, my people, so that you are not partakers of her sins, and that you do not receive her plagues.
5 “For her sins have come up into Heaven. And God has remembered her iniquities.
6 “Reward her, even as she has rewarded you. And give her double according to her works. And in the cup that she has filled to you, fill her double.
7 “Inasmuch as she glorified herself, and lived in pleasure, give her the same in torment and sorrow. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit, being a queen, and am no widow. And I shall see no mourning.’
8 “Therefore, her plagues shall come in one day: death and sorrow and famine. And she shall be burnt with fire. For God, who condemns her, is a strong Lord.
21 “You have heard that it was said to those of the old time, ‘You shall not murder’. For whoever murders shall be culpable of judgment.
22 “But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother unadvisedly, shall be culpable of judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca’, shall be worthy to be punished by the Council. And whoever shall say, ‘Fool’, shall be worthy to be punished with Hell fire.
23 “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24 “leave your offering there before the altar and go your way. First, be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge delivers you to the sergeant, and you are cast into prison.
26 “Truly I say to you, you shall not come out from there, till you have paid the last coin.
