Psalm 96:1-9

Psalm 96(A)

1 Sing to the Lord(B) a new song;(C)
    sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;(D)
    proclaim his salvation(E) day after day.
3 Declare his glory(F) among the nations,
    his marvelous deeds(G) among all peoples.

4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(H)
    he is to be feared(I) above all gods.(J)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,(K)
    but the Lord made the heavens.(L)
6 Splendor and majesty(M) are before him;
    strength and glory(N) are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the Lord,(O) all you families of nations,(P)
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering(Q) and come into his courts.(R)
9 Worship the Lord(S) in the splendor of his[a] holiness;(T)
    tremble(U) before him, all the earth.(V)

1 Kings 8:14-21

14 While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed(A) them. 15 Then he said:

“Praise be to the Lord,(B) the God of Israel, who with his own hand has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. For he said, 16 ‘Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt,(C) I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name(D) might be there, but I have chosen(E) David(F) to rule my people Israel.’

17 “My father David had it in his heart(G) to build a temple(H) for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 18 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. 19 Nevertheless, you(I) are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’(J)

20 “The Lord has kept the promise he made: I have succeeded(K) David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised, and I have built(L) the temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 21 I have provided a place there for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt.”

2 Corinthians 11:1-6

Paul and the False Apostles

11 I hope you will put up with(A) me in a little foolishness.(B) Yes, please put up with me! 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband,(C) to Christ, so that I might present you(D) as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,(E) your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached,(F) or if you receive a different spirit(G) from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel(H) from the one you accepted, you put up with it(I) easily enough.

5 I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”[a](J) 6 I may indeed be untrained as a speaker,(K) but I do have knowledge.(L) We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
