Psalm 75

75 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.

In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

10 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

11 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

12 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

13 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.

Job 41:12-25

12 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.

13 In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.

14 The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.

15 His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.

16 When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.

17 When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.

18 For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

19 The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.

20 As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.

21 The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.

22 He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.

23 A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.

24 There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.

25 He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.

John 13:1-17

13 Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,)

Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;

He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.

After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.

Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.

12 Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?

13 You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.

14 If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.

16 Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.

17 If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
