Psalm 20

To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

A Prayer for Victory

20 May the Lord answer you in the day of distress;
    may the name of the God of Jacob[a] protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary,
    and may he sustain you from Zion.
3 May he remember all your gifts,
    and may he accept your burnt offerings.
Interlude

4 May he give you what your heart desires,
    and may he fulfill all your plans.
5 May we shout for joy at your deliverance
    and unfurl our banners in the name of our God.
        May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I know that the Lord has delivered his anointed;
    he has answered him from his sanctuary
        with the strength of his right hand of deliverance.
7 Some boast[b] in chariots,
    others in horses;
        but we will boast in[c] the name of the Lord our God.
8 While they bowed down and fell,
    we arose and stood upright.

9 Deliver us, Lord!
    Answer us, our King,[d] on the day we cry out!

Numbers 6:22-27

On Blessing the Israelis

22 Later, the Lord told Moses, 23 “Teach Aaron and his sons to bless the Israelis:

24 May the Lord bless you
    and guard you.
25 May the Lord’s face enlighten you
    and bestow favor on you.
26 May the Lord turn to face you,
    lavishing peace on you!

27 They are to pour out my name to the Israelis while I continue to bless them.”

Mark 4:21-25

A Light under a Basket(A)

21 Then Jesus[a] told them, “A lamp isn’t brought indoors to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? It’s to be put on a lamp stand, isn’t it? 22 Nothing is hidden except for the purpose of having it revealed, and nothing is secret except for the purpose of having it come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen!

24 He went on to say to them, “Pay attention to what you’re hearing! You will be evaluated by the same standard with which you do your evaluating, and still more will be given to you, 25 because whoever has something, will have more given to him. But whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.”
