Psalm 116:1-4

I Love the Lord

116 I (A)love the Lord, because he has (B)heard
    my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Because he (C)inclined his ear to me,
    therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
(D)The snares of death encompassed me;
    the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
    I suffered distress and anguish.
Then (E)I called on the name of the Lord:
    “O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

Psalm 116:12-19

12 What shall I (A)render to the Lord
    for all his benefits to me?
13 I will lift up (B)the cup of salvation
    and (C)call on the name of the Lord,
14 I will (D)pay my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.
15 (E)Precious in the sight of the Lord
    is the death of his (F)saints.
16 O Lord, I am your (G)servant;
    I am your servant, (H)the son of your maidservant.
    You have (I)loosed my bonds.
17 I will (J)offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
    and (K)call on the name of the Lord.
18 I will (L)pay my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in (M)the courts of the house of the Lord,
    in your midst, O Jerusalem.
(N)Praise the Lord!

Isaiah 25:6-9

(A)On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
    a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
    (B)of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
And he will swallow up (C)on this mountain
    the covering that is cast over all peoples,
    (D)the veil that is spread over all nations.
    (E)He will swallow up death for ever;
and (F)the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
    and (G)the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
    (H)for the Lord has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
    “Behold, this is our God; (I)we have waited for him, that he might save us.
    This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
    (J)let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

Luke 14:12-14

The Parable of the Great Banquet

12 He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give (A)a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers[a] or your relatives or rich neighbours, (B)lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, (C)invite (D)the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid (E)at (F)the resurrection of the just.”
