Book of Common Prayer
72 1 He prayeth for the prosperous estate of the kingdom of Solomon, who was the figure of Christ, 4 under whom shall be righteousness, peace, and felicity. 10 Unto whom all Kings and nations shall do homage, 17 Whose name and power shall endure forever, and in whom all nations shall be blessed.
A Psalm [a]of Solomon.
1 Give thy [b]judgments to the King, O God, and thy righteousness to the King’s [c]son.
2 Then shall he judge thy people in righteousness, and thy poor with equity.
3 The [d]mountains, and the hills shall bring peace to the people by justice.
4 He shall [e]judge the poor of the people: he shall save the children of the needy, and shall subdue the oppressor.
5 They shall [f]fear thee as long as the sun and moon endureth, from generation to generation.
6 He shall come [g]down like the rain upon the mown grass, and as the showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace shall be so long as the moon endureth.
8 His dominion shall be also from [h]sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the land.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness, shall kneel before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of [i]Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings [j]of Sheba and Seba shall bring gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall worship him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the poor when he crieth: the needy also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shall be merciful to the poor and needy, and shall preserve the souls of the poor.
14 He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence, and [k]dear shall their blood be in his sight.
15 Yea, he shall live, and unto him shall they give of the [l]gold of Sheba: they shall also pray for him continually, and daily bless him.
16 An handful of corn shall be sown in the earth, even in the top of the mountains, and the [m]fruit thereof shalt shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall flourish out of the city like the grass of the earth.
17 His name shall be forever: his name shall endure as long as the Sun: all nations shall bless [n]him, and be blessed in him.
18 Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel which only doeth [o]wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious Name forever: and let all the earth be filled with his glory. So be it, even so be it.
[20] Here end the [p]prayers of David the son of Jesse.
JOD
73 Thine hands have [a]made me and fashioned me: give me understanding therefore, that I may learn thy commandments.
74 So they that [b]fear thee, seeing me, shall rejoice, because I have trusted in thy word.
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou hast afflicted me [c]justly.
76 I pray thee that thy mercy may comfort me, according to thy promise unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may [d]live: for thy Law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed: for they have dealt wickedly and falsely with me: but I meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let such as fear thee [e]turn unto me, and they that [f]know thy testimonies.
80 Let mine heart be upright in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
CAPH
81 My soul [g]fainted for thy salvation: yet I wait for thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy promise, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am like a [h]bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the [i]days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have [j]dug pits for me, which is not after thy Law.
86 All thy commandments are true: they persecute me falsely: [k]help me.
87 They had almost consumed [l]me upon the earth: but I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me according to thy loving kindness: so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
LAMED
89 O Lord, thy word endureth forever in [m]heaven.
90 Thy truth is from generation to generation: thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.
91 They [n]continue even to this day by thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92 Except thy law had been my delight, I should now have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for by them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am [o]thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I [p]have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding large.
16 2 And 17 the Angels pour out the seven vials of God’s wrath given unto them, and so divers plagues arise in the world, 18 to terrify the wicked, 19 and the inhabitants of the great city.
1 And [a]I heard a great voice out of the Temple, saying to the seven Angels, Go your ways, and poured out the seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 [b]And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth: and there fell a noisome and a grievous sore upon the men which had the [c]mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 [d]And the second Angel poured out his vial upon the sea, and it [e]became as the blood of a dead man: and every living thing died in the sea.
4 [f]And the third Angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters, and they became blood.
5 And I heard the Angel of the waters say, Lord, thou art just, which art, and which wast: and Holy, because thou hast judged these things.
6 For they shed the blood of the Saints, and Prophets, and therefore hast thou given them blood to drink: for they are worthy.
7 [g]And I heard another out of the Sanctuary say, Even so, Lord God almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 [h]And the fourth Angel poured out his vial on the sun, and it was given to him to torment men with heat of fire,
9 And men boiled in great heat, and blasphemed the Name of God, which hath power over these plagues, and they repented not to give him glory.
10 [i]And the fifth Angel poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and the kingdom waxed dark, and they gnawed their tongues for sorrow.
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven for their pains, and for their sores, and repented not of their works.
10 ¶ [a]And he taught in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 And behold, there was a woman which had a [b]spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could not lift up herself in any wise.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art [c]loosed from thy disease.
13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight again, and glorified God.
14 [d]And the [e]ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
15 Then answered him the Lord, and said, Hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath day loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to the water?
16 And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
17 And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: but all the people rejoiced at all the excellent things that were done by him.
