Psalm 76

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.

76 In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;

And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah.

More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,

When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10 For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.

11 Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

12 He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Isaiah 60:17-22

17 For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron; and I will make thine officers peace, and thy rulers righteousness.

18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

20 Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall possess the land for ever—the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

22 The little one shall become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation: I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.

Ephesians 4:25-5:2

25 Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another.

26 Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath,

27 neither give room for the devil.

28 Let the stealer steal no more, but rather let him toil, working what is honest with [his] hands, that he may have to distribute to him that has need.

29 Let no corrupt word go out of your mouth, but if [there be] any good one for needful edification, that it may give grace to those that hear [it].

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for [the] day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, and heat of passion, and wrath, and clamour, and injurious language, be removed from you, with all malice;

32 and be to one another kind, compassionate, forgiving one another, so as God also in Christ has forgiven you.

Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,

and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.
