Psalm 67

Psalm 67[a]

Prayer That All May Worship God

For the director.[b] With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

O God, be gracious to us and bless us
    and let your face shine upon us.[c] Selah
[d]Then your ways will be known on earth
    and your salvation among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you.
Let the nations rejoice and exult,
    for you judge the peoples fairly
    and guide the nations upon the earth.[e] Selah
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you.
The earth has yielded its harvest;
    God, our God, has blessed us.
May God continue to bless us
    and be revered to the ends of the earth.

Isaiah 56:1-5

Return of the First Captives[a]

Chapter 56

The Lord Welcomes All People

Thus says the Lord:
    Maintain justice
    and do what is right.
For my salvation is close at hand,
    and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
Happy is the man who does this,
    the one who holds fast to my instructions,
who observes the Sabbath without profaning it
    and refrains from every evil deed.
Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
    “The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”
Permit no eunuch[b] to believe,
    “I am nothing but a dried-up tree.”
For thus says the Lord:
    To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths,
who choose to do my will
    and hold fast to my covenant,
I will give in my house
    and within my walls
a monument and a name
    better than sons and daughters.
I will give them an everlasting name
    that will never be effaced.

Matthew 14:34-36

34 Jesus Heals the Sick at Gennesaret. After they had completed the crossing, they landed at Gennesaret.[a] 35 When the people there recognized him, they sent word of his presence throughout the region. They also brought him all those who were sick 36 and begged him to let them touch only the edge of his cloak. All who touched it were completely healed.
