1 My song shall be always of the loving-kindness of the Lord: ♦︎
with my mouth will I proclaim your faithfulness
throughout all generations.
2 I will declare that your love is established for ever; ♦︎
you have set your faithfulness as firm as the heavens.
3 For you said: ‘I have made a covenant with my chosen one; ♦︎
I have sworn an oath to David my servant:
4 ‘ “Your seed will I establish for ever ♦︎
and build up your throne for all generations.” ’
15 Happy are the people who know the shout of triumph: ♦︎
they walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance.
16 In your name they rejoice all the day long ♦︎
and are exalted in your righteousness.
17 For you are the glory of their strength, ♦︎
and in your favour you lift up our heads.
18 Truly the Lord is our shield; ♦︎
the Holy One of Israel is our king.

28In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, 2‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 4I will also bring back to this place King Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’

17Jesus* said to his disciples, ‘Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! 2It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3Be on your guard! If another disciple* sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. 4And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, “I repent”, you must forgive.’
