Psalm 80:1-7

Psalm 80[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm.

1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
    you who lead Joseph like a flock.(A)
You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,(B)
    shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.(C)
Awaken(D) your might;
    come and save us.(E)

3 Restore(F) us,(G) O God;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(H)

4 How long,(I) Lord God Almighty,
    will your anger smolder(J)
    against the prayers of your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears;(K)
    you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(L)
6 You have made us an object of derision[b] to our neighbors,
    and our enemies mock us.(M)

7 Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(N)

Psalm 80:17-19

17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
    the son of man(A) you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
    revive(B) us, and we will call on your name.

19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.

2 Samuel 7:18-22

David’s Prayer(A)

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:

“Who am I,(B) Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant—and this decree,(C) Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human![a]

20 “What more can David say(D) to you? For you know(E) your servant,(F) Sovereign Lord. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.

22 “How great(G) you are,(H) Sovereign Lord! There is no one like(I) you, and there is no God(J) but you, as we have heard with our own ears.(K)

Galatians 4:1-7

4 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery(A) under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world.(B) 4 But when the set time had fully come,(C) God sent his Son,(D) born of a woman,(E) born under the law,(F) 5 to redeem(G) those under the law, that we might receive adoption(H) to sonship.[b](I) 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son(J) into our hearts,(K) the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[c] Father.”(L) 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.(M)
