Psalm 145:1-8

Great Is the Lord

[a] A Song of Praise. Of David.

145 (A)I will extol you, my God and (B)King,
    and bless your name forever and ever.
2 Every day I will bless you
    (C)and praise your name forever and ever.
3 (D)Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
    and his (E)greatness is unsearchable.

4 (F)One generation shall commend your works to another,
    and shall declare your mighty acts.
5 On (G)the glorious splendor of your majesty,
    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6 They shall speak of (H)the might of your awesome deeds,
    and I will declare your greatness.
7 They shall pour forth the fame of your (I)abundant goodness
    and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8 The Lord is (J)gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Nahum 1:1

1 (A)An oracle concerning (B)Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.

Nahum 1:14-2:2

14 The Lord has given commandment about you:
    (A)“No more shall your name be perpetuated;
from (B)the house of your gods I will cut off
    the carved image and the metal image.
(C)I will make your grave, (D)for you are vile.”

15 [a] (E)Behold, upon the mountains, (F)the feet of him
    who brings good news,
    who publishes peace!
(G)Keep your feasts, O Judah;
    (H)fulfill your vows,
(I)for never again shall the worthless pass through you;
    he is utterly cut off.

The Destruction of Nineveh

2 (J)The scatterer has come up against you.
    (K)Man the ramparts;
    watch the road;
dress for battle;[b]
    collect all your strength.

2 For (L)the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob
    as the majesty of Israel,
for plunderers have plundered them
    and (M)ruined their branches.

2 Corinthians 13:1-4

Final Warnings

13 (A)This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established (B)by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 2 (C)I warned (D)those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that (E)if I come again I will not spare them— 3 since you seek proof that Christ (F)is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but (G)is powerful among you. 4 For (H)he was crucified in weakness, but (I)lives by the power of God. For (J)we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you (K)we will live with him by the power of God.
