Book of Common Prayer
93 The LORD reigns and is clothed with majesty. The LORD is clothed and girded with power. Also, the world shall be established, so that it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne is established of old. You are from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD. The floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.
4 The waves of the sea are marvelous through the noise of many waters. The LORD on High is more mighty.
5 Your testimonies are very sure. Holiness becomes Your House, O LORD, forever.
96 Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD all the Earth!
2 Sing to the LORD! Praise His Name! Declare His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His Glory among all nations, His wonders among all people.
4 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the people are idols. But the LORD made the heavens.
6 Strength and glory are before Him. Power and beauty are in His Sanctuary.
7 Give to the LORD, you families of the people! Give to the LORD glory and power!
8 Give to the LORD the glory of His Name. Bring an offering and enter into His courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the glorious Sanctuary. Tremble before Him, all the Earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” Surely, the world shall be stable and not move; and He shall judge the people in righteousness.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the Earth be glad! Let the sea roar, and all that therein is.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it! Let all the trees of the wood then rejoice
13 before the LORD. For He comes. For He comes to judge the Earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the people in His truth.
34 I will always give thanks to the LORD. His praise shall be in my mouth continually.
2 My soul shall glory in the LORD. The humble shall hear it and be glad.
3 Praise the LORD with me; and let us magnify His Name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me. Indeed, He delivered me out of all my fear.
5 They shall look to Him and run; and their faces shall not be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried; and the LORD heard and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The Angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them.
8 Taste and see how gracious the LORD is. Blessed is the man who trusts in Him.
9 Fear the LORD, you, His saints. For those who fear Him lack nothing.
10 The lions lack and suffer hunger. But those who seek the LORD shall lack nothing that is good.
11 Come children, hear me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he who desires life and loves long days to see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips, so that they speak no deceit.
14 Turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and follow after it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous; and His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off their remembrance from the Earth.
17 The righteous cry and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to those who are of a contrite heart; and will save such as are afflicted in spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous. But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all His bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 Malice shall slay the wicked; and those who hate the righteous shall perish.
22 The LORD redeems the souls of His servants; and no one who trusts in Him shall perish. A Psalm of David.
14 Pursue love, and desire spiritual things, more so that you may prophesy.
2 For the one who speaks in a tongue, speaks not to man, but to God. For no one hears. But in the spirit he speaks secret things.
3 But the one who prophesies, speaks to man for edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 The one who speaks in a tongue, edifies himself. But the one who prophesies, edifies the Church.
5 Now, I would prefer that you all spoke in tongues, even more so that you prophesied. For greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification.
6 And now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what shall I benefit you, unless I speak to you by either revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 Just as things without life give a sound, whether a pipe or a harp, how shall it be known what is piped or harped unless a distinction is made between the sounds?
8 And also if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to battle?
9 So likewise you, by the tongue, unless you utter words that are understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? For you shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them without significance.
11 Unless, then, I know the miraculous power of the voice, I shall be to him who speaks a Barbarian, and he who speaks, shall be to me a Barbarian.
12 Even so, since you covet spiritual things, seek that you may excel at the edifying of the Church.
20 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain landowner, who went out at the dawning of the day to hire laborers into his vineyard.
2 “And he agreed with the laborers for a penny a day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 “And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4 “and said to them, ‘You go into my vineyard also. And whatever is right, I will give you.’ And they went their way.
5 “Again, he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 “And he went about the eleventh hour, and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’
7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into my vineyard also. And whatever is right, that shall you receive.’
8 “And when evening had come, the master of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning at the last, till you come to the first.’
9 “And those who were hired about the eleventh hour, came. And each received a penny.
10 “Now when the first came, they assumed that they would receive more. But each of them also received a penny.
11 “And when they had received it, they murmured against the master of the house,
12 “saying, ‘These last have only worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and heat of the day!’
13 “And he answered one of them, saying, ‘Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a penny?
14 ‘Take that which is yours and go your way. I will give to this last as much as to you.
15 ‘Is it not lawful for me to do as I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?’
16 “So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”
