Psalm 128

Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

128 (B)Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
    who (C)walks in his ways!
2 You (D)shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands;
    you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife will be like (E)a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like (F)olive shoots
    round your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
    who fears the Lord.
5 (G)The Lord bless you (H)from Zion!
    May you see (I)the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life!
6 May you see your (J)children's children!
    (K)Peace be upon Israel!

Joshua 10:12-14

12 At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

(A)“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
    and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
    until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. 14 (B)There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for (C)the Lord fought for Israel.

Matthew 15:1-9

Traditions and Commandments

15 (A)Then Pharisees and (B)scribes came to Jesus (C)from Jerusalem and said, 2 (D)“Why do your disciples break (E)the tradition of the elders? (F)For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” 3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, (G)‘Honour your father and your mother,’ and, (H)‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”[a] 6 he need not honour his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have (I)made void the word[b] of God. 7 (J)You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:

8 (K)“‘This people honours me with their lips,
    but their heart is far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me,
    teaching as (L)doctrines the commandments of men.’”
