1 Be my judge, O LORD, for I have walked innocently;
     * my trust has been in the LORD; therefore I shall not fall.
2 Test me, O LORD, and prove me;
      * examine my heart and my mind.
3 For your loving-kindness is ever before my eyes,
     * and I will walk in your truth.
4 I have not dwelt with evildoers,
     * neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful.
5 I have hated the company of the wicked,
     * and will not sit among the ungodly.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, O LORD,
     * and so will I go to your altar,
7 That I may lift up the voice of thanksgiving
     * and tell of all your wondrous works.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of your house
     * and the place where your honor dwells.
9 O take not away my soul with the sinners,
     * nor my life with the bloodthirsty,
10 Whose hands are full of wickedness,
     *and their right hand full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk innocently;
     * O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot stands firm;
​     * I will praise the LORD in the congregations.  

12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

1 I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my whole heart;
     * even before the gods will I sing praises to you.
2 I will worship toward your holy temple and praise your Name, because of your loving-kindness and truth,
     * for you have magnify ed your Name and your word above all things.
3 When I called upon you, you heard me
     * and gave me increase of strength.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD,
      * for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5 They shall sing of the ways of the LORD,
     * that great is the glory of the LORD.
6 For though the LORD be high, yet he has respect for the lowly;
     * as for the proud, he beholds them from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shall you refresh me;
     * you shall stretch forth your hand upon the furiousness of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.
8 The LORD shall make good his loving-kindness toward me;
​     * your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever; despise not the works of your own hands.  

25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
“The Deliverer will come from Zion,
    he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27 “and this will be my covenant with them
    when I take away their sins.”
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
    or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has given a gift to him
    that he might be repaid?”
36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.  (ESV)

1 May God be merciful unto us, and bless us,
     * and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us.
2 Let your way be known upon earth,
     * your saving health among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
     * indeed, let all the peoples praise you.
4 O let the nations rejoice and be glad,
     * for you shall judge the peoples righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
     * let all the peoples praise you.
6 Then shall the earth bring forth her increase,
     * and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.  

13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.

10 And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” 13 He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.” 16 And he said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? 18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”

21 And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” 28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2 saying,
“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,
    and he answered me;
out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
    and you heard my voice.
3 For you cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the seas,
    and the flood surrounded me;
all your waves and your billows
    passed over me.
4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away
    from your sight;
yet I shall again look
    upon your holy temple.’
5 The waters closed in over me to take my life;
    the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped about my head
6     at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
    whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the pit,
    O Lord my God.
7 When my life was fainting away,
    I remembered the Lord,
and my prayer came to you,
    into your holy temple.
8 Those who pay regard to vain idols
    forsake their hope of steadfast love.
9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving
    will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
    Salvation belongs to the Lord!”
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.  ESV

1 Ascribe unto the LORD, O you mighty,
     * ascribe unto the LORD worship and strength.
2 Give the LORD the honor due unto his Name;
     * worship the LORD with holy worship.
3 It is the LORD that commands the waters;
     * it is the glorious God that makes the thunder.
4 It is the LORD that rules the sea; the voice of the LORD is mighty in its working;
     * the voice of the LORD is a glorious voice.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedar trees;
     * indeed, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also to skip like a calf,
     * Lebanon also, and Sirion, like a young ox.
7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire; the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;
     * indeed, the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 
8 The voice of the LORD makes the deer to bring forth young, and strips the forests bare;
     * in his temple all cry, “Glory.”
9 The LORD sits above the floodwaters,
     * and the LORD remains King for ever.
10 The LORD shall give strength to his people;
​     * the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.

22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way[a] from the land,[b] beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night[c] he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind,[d] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
