A Call to Thanksgiving

67 May God show us favor and bless us;
    may he truly show us his favor.[a]
Interlude

Let your ways be known by all the nations of the earth,
    along with your deliverance.
Let the people thank you, God.
    Let all the people thank you.
Let the nations rejoice and sing for joy,
    because you judge people with fairness
        and you govern the people of the earth.
Interlude

Let the people thank you, God;
    let all the people thank you.
May the earth yield its produce.
    May God, our God, bless us.
May God truly bless us
    so that all the peoples[b] of the earth will fear him.

Isaiah 56:1-5

The Covenant Extended to the Righteous

56 For[a] this is what the Lord says:
    “Maintain justice, and do what is right,
for soon my salvation will come,
    and soon my deliverance will be revealed.
Blessed is the one who does this,
    and the person that holds it fast,
who observes the Sabbath without profaning it,
    and restrains his hands[b] from practicing any evil.

“Let[c] no foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say:
    ‘The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.’
Furthermore, let no eunuch say,
    ‘Look![d] I am just a dry tree.’”
For this is what the Lord says:

“To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths,
    who choose the things that please me,
        and who hold fast my covenant—
to them I will give in my house[e] and within my walls
    a monument and a name
        better than sons and daughters.
I will give them[f] an everlasting name
    that will not be cut off.[g]

Matthew 14:34-36

Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret(A)

34 They crossed over and came ashore at Gennesaret. 35 When the men of that place recognized Jesus,[a] they sent word[b] throughout that region and brought him everyone who was sick. 36 They kept begging him to let them touch just the tassel of his garment, and everyone who touched it was completely healed.
