1 The Lord is King; let the peoples tremble;
* he sits between the cherubim; let the earth shake.
2 The Lord is great in Zion
* and high above all peoples.
3 They shall give thanks unto his Name, which is great and wonderful;
* holy is he and mighty, a King who loves justice.
4 You have established equity;
​* you have executed judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5 O magnify the Lord our God,
* and fall down before his footstool, for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his Name,
* they called upon the Lord, and he heard them.
7 He spoke to them out of the cloudy pillar,
* for they kept his testimonies and the law that he gave them.
8 You heard them, O Lord our God;
* you forgave them, O God, yet punished their evildoings.
9 O magnify the Lord our God, and worship him upon his holy hill,
* for the Lord our God is holy

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

1 O sing unto the LORD a new song;
   * sing unto the LORD, all the whole earth.
2 Sing unto the LORD and praise his Name;
   * tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his honor to the nations,
   * and his wonders to all peoples.
4 For the LORD is great, and highly to be praised;
   * he is more to be feared than all gods.
5 As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols;
   * but it is the LORD who made the heavens.
6 Glory and majesty are before him;
   * power and honor are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe unto the LORD, O you families of the peoples,
   * ascribe unto the LORD worship and power.
8 Ascribe unto the LORD the honor due unto his Name;
   * bring offerings and come into his courts.
9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness;
   * let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
10 Tell it out among the nations, “The LORD is King;
   * it is he who has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he shall judge the peoples righteously.”
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
   *  let the sea make a noise, and all that is therein.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it;
   * then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD.
13 For he comes, for he comes to judge the earth,
   * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth. 

1 The LORD is my shepherd;
     therefore I can lack nothing.
2 He shall feed me in green pastures
     and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.
3 He shall refresh my soul
     and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness for his Name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
     for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.
5 You shall prepare a table before me, in the presence of those who trouble me;
     you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full.
6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
     and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

22 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

7 Restore us again, O God of hosts;
     show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
     you have cast out the nations and planted it.
9 You made room for it,
     and when it had taken root, it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it,
     and the boughs thereof were like the mighty cedar trees.
11 It stretched out its branches to the sea
    and its boughs to the river.
12 Why have you broken down its hedge,
     so that all those who go by pluck off its grapes?
13 The wild boar out of the wood roots it up, 
     and the wild beasts of the field devour it.
14 Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven;
     behold, and visit this vine,
15 And the place of the vineyard that your right hand has planted,
     and the branch that you made so strong for yourself.
16 As for those who burn it with fire and cut it down,
     let them perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
17 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand
     and upon the son of man, whom you made so strong for yourself.
18 And so we will not turn back from you;     
     O let us live, and we shall call upon your Name.
19 Restore us again, O LORD God of hosts; 
     show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.  

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

33 “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. 35 And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
     “‘The stone that the builders rejected
         has become the cornerstone;
     this was the Lord's doing,
         and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
