Psalm 9:9-20

The Lord also will be a (A)refuge[a] for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who (B)know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
(C)Declare His deeds among the people.
12 (D)When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the [b]humble.

13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of [c]the daughter of Zion.
I will (E)rejoice in Your salvation.

15 (F)The [d]nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16 The Lord is (G)known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
(H)Meditation.[e] Selah

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the [f]nations (I)that forget God.
18 (J)For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
(K)The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the [g]nations be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord,
That the [h]nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah

1 Samuel 18:1-4

Saul Resents David

18 Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, (A)the [a]soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, (B)and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Saul took him that day, (C)and would not let him go home to his father’s house anymore. Then Jonathan and David made a (D)covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

Luke 21:25-28

The Coming of the Son of Man(A)

25 (B)“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, (C)for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man (D)coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because (E)your redemption draws near.”
