Psalm 116:1-4

God, My Deliverer

116 I love the Lord
    because he has heard my prayer for mercy;[a]
2 for he listens to me whenever I call.
3 The ropes of death were wound around me
    and the anguish of Sheol[b] came upon me;
        I encountered distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord,
    “Lord, please deliver me!”[c]

Psalm 116:12-19

12 What will I return to the Lord
    for all his benefits to me?
13 I will raise my cup of deliverance
    and invoke the Lord’s name.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 In the sight of the Lord,
    the death of his faithful ones is valued.

16 Lord, I am indeed your servant.
    I am your servant.
I am the son of your handmaid.
    You have released my bonds.
17 I will bring you a thanksgiving offering
    and call on the name of the Lord!
18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the Lord’s house,
    in your midst, Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!

Isaiah 26:1-4

The Song of Redeemed Judah

26 At that time,[a] people will sing this song[b] in the land of Judah:

“We have a strong city;
    God crafts victory,
        its walls and ramparts.[c]
2 Open your[d] gates,
    so the righteous nation that safeguards its faith may enter.
3 You will keep perfectly peaceful[e]
    the one whose mind remains focused on you,
        because he remains[f] in you.

4 “Trust in the Lord forever,
    for in the Lord God[g] you have an everlasting rock.

1 Peter 1:13-16

Be Holy

13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep a clear head, and set your hope completely on the grace to be given you when Jesus, the Messiah,[a] is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that used to influence you when you were ignorant. 15 Instead, be holy in every aspect of your life, just as the one who called you is holy. 16 For it is written, “You must be holy, because I am holy.”[b]
