Psalm 95:1-7

Let Us Sing Songs of Praise

95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
    let us (A)make a joyful noise to (B)the rock of our salvation!
Let us (C)come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us (D)make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the Lord is (E)a great God,
    and a great King (F)above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
    the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for (G)he made it,
    and his hands formed (H)the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us (I)kneel before the Lord, our (J)Maker!
For he is our (K)God,
    and we are the people of his (L)pasture,
    and the sheep of his hand.
(M)Today, if you (N)hear his voice,

Isaiah 44:21-28

The Lord Redeems Israel

21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
    and Israel, for you are (A)my servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
    (B)O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 (C)I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 (D)Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;
    shout, O (E)depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
    O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
    (F)and will be glorified[a] in Israel.
24 Thus says the Lord, (G)your Redeemer,
    (H)who formed you from the womb:
(I)“I am the Lord, who made all things,
    (J)who alone stretched out the heavens,
    who spread out the earth by myself,
25 who frustrates the signs of liars
    and makes fools of diviners,
(K)who turns wise men back
    and makes their knowledge foolish,
26 (L)who confirms the word of his servant
    and fulfils the counsel of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited’,
    (M)and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,
    and I will raise up their ruins’;
27 (N)who says to the deep, ‘Be dry;
    I will dry up your rivers’;
28 who says of (O)Cyrus, ‘He is (P)my shepherd,
    and he shall fulfil all my purpose’;
saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built’,
    (Q)and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’”

Matthew 12:46-50

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, (A)his mother and his (B)brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.[a] 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand towards his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For (C)whoever (D)does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
