How Awesome Are Your Deeds

To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

66 (A)Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
    sing the glory of his name;
    (B)give to him glorious praise!
Say to God, (C)“How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power that your enemies (D)come cringing to you.
(E)All the earth worships you
    and sings praises to you;
    they sing praises to your name.” Selah

(F)Come and see what God has done:
    (G)he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
He (H)turned the sea into dry land;
    they (I)passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
    who rules by his might forever,
whose (J)eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Bless our God, O peoples;
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
who has kept our soul among the living
    and (K)has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have (L)tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into (M)the net;
    you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men (N)ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through (O)water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
    I will (P)perform my vows to you,
14 that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised (Q)when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

16 (R)Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on[a] my tongue.[b]
18 If I had (S)cherished iniquity in my heart,
    (T)the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly (U)God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!

Make Your Face Shine upon Us

To the choirmaster: with (V)stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

67 May God (W)be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face to (X)shine upon us, Selah
that (Y)your way may be known on earth,
    your (Z)saving power among all nations.
(AA)Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you (AB)judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
(AC)Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!

The earth has (AD)yielded its increase;
    God, our God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us;
    let (AE)all the ends of the earth fear him!

  1. Psalm 66:17 Hebrew under
  2. Psalm 66:17 Or and he was exalted with my tongue

21 “The Lord (A)dealt with me according to my righteousness;
    according to the (B)cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
22 (C)For I have kept the ways of the Lord
    and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 (D)For all his rules were before me,
    and from his statutes I did not turn aside.
24 I was (E)blameless before him,
    and I kept myself from guilt.
25 (F)And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
    according to my cleanness in his sight.

26 (G)“With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
    with the (H)blameless man you show yourself blameless;
27 with the purified you deal purely,
    and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
28 (I)You save a humble people,
    (J)but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29 (K)For you are my lamp, O Lord,
    and my God lightens my darkness.
30 For by you I can run against a troop,
    and by my God I can leap over a wall.
31 This God—(L)his way is perfect;
    the (M)word of the Lord proves true;
    he is (N)a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

32 “For who is God, but the Lord?
    (O)And who is a rock, except our God?
33 This God is my (P)strong refuge
    and has made my[a] way blameless.[b]
34 (Q)He made my feet like the feet of a deer
    and set me secure (R)on the heights.
35 (S)He trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your gentleness made me great.
37 (T)You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
    and my feet[c] did not slip;
38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
    and did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;
    they fell (U)under my feet.
40 For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
    you made (V)those who rise against me sink under me.
41 You (W)made my enemies turn their backs to me,[d]
    those who hated me, and I destroyed them.
42 They looked, but there was none to save;
    they cried to the Lord, but (X)he did not answer them.
43 I beat them fine (Y)as the dust of the earth;
    I crushed them and stamped them down (Z)like the mire of the streets.

44 “You delivered me from strife with my people;[e]
    you kept me as the head of (AA)the nations;
    (AB)people whom I had not known served me.
45 Foreigners came cringing to me;
    as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
46 Foreigners lost heart
    and came trembling[f] (AC)out of their fortresses.

47 “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
    and exalted be (AD)my God, (AE)the rock of my salvation,
48 the God who gave me vengeance
    and (AF)brought down peoples under me,
49 who brought me out from my enemies;
    you exalted me above (AG)those who rose against me;
    you delivered me from (AH)men of violence.

50 (AI)“For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
    and sing praises to your name.
51 (AJ)Great salvation he brings[g] to his king,
    and shows steadfast love to (AK)his anointed,
    to David and his offspring (AL)forever.”

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

11 (A)On the way to Jerusalem (B)he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[a] (C)who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and (D)show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, (E)praising God with a loud voice; 16 and (F)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was (G)a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not (H)ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and (I)give praise to God except this (J)foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; (K)your faith has (L)made you well.”[b]

The Coming of the Kingdom

20 Being asked by the Pharisees (M)when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God (N)is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor (O)will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”[c]

22 And he said to the disciples, (P)“The days are coming when you will desire (Q)to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (R)And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 (S)For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (T)in his day.[d] 25 But first (U)he must suffer many things and (V)be rejected by this generation. 26 (W)Just as it was in the days of (X)Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 (Y)They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of (Z)Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 (AA)but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be (AB)on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, (AC)let the one who is on (AD)the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 (AE)Remember Lot's wife. 33 (AF)Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will (AG)keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 (AH)There will be two women (AI)grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[e] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, (AJ)“Where the corpse[f] is, there the vultures[g] will gather.”
