Book of Common Prayer
97 The LORD reigns. Let the Earth rejoice! Let the multitude of the isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness surround Him. Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.
3 A fire shall go before Him and burn up His enemies all around.
4 His lightnings gave light to the world. The Earth saw it and was afraid.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the LORD of the whole Earth.
6 The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the people see His Glory.
7 All those who serve graven images, who glory in idols, are confounded. Worship Him all you gods.
8 Zion heard of it and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9 For You, LORD, are Most High above all the Earth. You are much exalted above all gods.
10 You who love the LORD, hate evil. He preserves the souls of His saints. He will deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks for His holy remembrance. A Psalm
98 Sing to the LORD a new song; for He has done marvelous things! His right hand and His holy arm have gotten Him the victory.
2 The LORD declared His salvation. He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered His mercy and His truth toward the House of Israel. All the ends of the Earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Sing loud to the LORD, all the Earth! Cry out and rejoice; and sing praises!
5 Sing praise to the LORD upon the harp, upon the harp with a singing voice.
6 With shofars and sound of trumpets sing loud before the LORD the King.
7 Let the sea roar and all that therein is, the world and those who dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands! Let the mountains rejoice together
9 before the LORD! For He has come to judge the Earth. With righteousness shall He judge the world, and the people with equity.
22 “The LORD has possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old.
23 “I was set up from everlasting; from the beginning, before the Earth.
24 “I was begotten when there were no depths; when there were no fountains abounding with water;
25 “before the mountains were settled. Before the hills, was I begotten.
26 “He had not yet made the Earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the world.
27 “I was there when He prepared the heavens; when He set the compass upon the deep;
28 “when He established the clouds above; when He confirmed the fountains of the deep;
29 “when He gave His Decree to the sea that the waters should not pass His Commandment; when He appointed the foundations of the Earth.
30 “Then I was with Him, a nourisher. And I was His daily delight, rejoicing always before Him;
20 “Truly, truly I say to you, anyone who receives whom I shall send, receives Me. And anyone who receives Me, receives Him Who sent Me.”
21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in Spirit, and testified, and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray Me.”
22 Then the disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom He spoke.
23 Now, there was one of His disciples, who leaned on Jesus’ bosom, whom Jesus loved.
24 Therefore, Simon Peter motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25 Then, as he leaned on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus answered, “It is him to whom I shall give a morsel, when I have dipped it.” And He wet a morsel of bread, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.
27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “That you do, do quickly.”
28 But none of them who were at table knew why He said this to him.
29 For some of them thought Jesus had said that to him because Judas had the bag to buy those things we need for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Then, as soon as he had received the morsel, he immediately went out. And it was night.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 “If God is glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall immediately glorify Him.
33 “Little children, I am still with you a little while longer. You shall seek Me, but as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’, so also I say to you now.
34 “A new Commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
35 “By this shall all know that you are My disciples - if you have love one to another.”
145 O my God and King, I will extol You, and will bless Your Name forever and ever.
2 I will bless You daily and praise Your Name forever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD, and most worthy to be praised. His greatness is incomprehensible.
4 Generation to generation shall praise Your works and declare Your power.
5 I will meditate on the beauty of Your glorious majesty and Your wonderful works.
6 And they shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness.
7 They shall break out into the mention of Your great goodness and shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works.
10 All Your works praise You, O LORD, and Your Saints bless You.
11 They show the glory of Your Kingdom, and speak of Your power,
12 to cause His power and the glorious renown of His Kingdom to be known to the sons of men.
13 Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all ages.
14 The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are ready to fall.
15 The eyes of all wait upon You, and You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand and fulfill the desire of all living things.
17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and Holy in all His works.
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them.
20 The LORD preserves all those who love Him; but He will destroy the wicked.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; and all flesh shall bless His Holy Name forever and ever. Praise the LORD.
5 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves Him Who begat, also loves him who is begotten of Him.
2 In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His Commandments.
3 For this is the love of God: that we keep His Commandments. And His Commandments are not burdensome.
4 For all that is born of God overcomes this world. And this is that victory that has overcome this world: our faith.
5 Who is it that overcomes this world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is that Jesus Christ Who came by water and blood - not by water only, but by water and blood - and it is that Spirit that bears witness. For that Spirit is Truth.
7 For there are Three Who bear record in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these Three are One.
8 And there are Three Who bear record on the Earth: the Spirit and the Water and the Blood. And these Three agree in One.
9 If we receive the witness of man, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God which He testified about His Son:
10 The one who believes in that Son of God, has the witness in himself. The one who does not believe God, has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the record that God witnessed of His Son.
11 And this is that record: that God has given us eternal life. And this life is in His Son.
12 The one who has that Son, has that life. And the one who does not have that Son of God, does not have that life.
