1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; ♦︎
his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let Israel now proclaim, ♦︎
His mercy endures for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now proclaim, ♦︎
His mercy endures for ever.
4 Let those who fear the Lord proclaim, ♦︎
His mercy endures for ever.
5 In my constraint I called to the Lord; ♦︎
the Lord answered and set me free.
6 The Lord is at my side; I will not fear; ♦︎
what can flesh do to me?
7 With the Lord at my side as my saviour, ♦︎
I shall see the downfall of my enemies.
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord ♦︎
than to put any confidence in flesh.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord ♦︎
than to put any confidence in princes.
10 All the nations encompassed me, ♦︎
but by the name of the Lord I drove them back.
11 They hemmed me in, they hemmed me in on every side, ♦︎
but by the name of the Lord I drove them back.
12 They swarmed about me like bees;
they blazed like fire among thorns, ♦︎
but by the name of the Lord I drove them back.
13 Surely, I was thrust to the brink, ♦︎
but the Lord came to my help.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song, ♦︎
and he has become my salvation.
15 Joyful shouts of salvation ♦︎
sound from the tents of the righteous:
16 The right hand of the Lord does mighty deeds;
the right hand of the Lord raises up; ♦︎
the right hand of the Lord does mighty deeds.
17 I shall not die, but live ♦︎
and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has punished me sorely, ♦︎
but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, ♦︎
that I may enter and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord; ♦︎
the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me ♦︎
and have become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected ♦︎
has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This is the Lords doing, ♦︎
and it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made; ♦︎
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Come, O Lord, and save us we pray. ♦︎
Come, Lord, send us now prosperity.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; ♦︎
we bless you from the house of the Lord.
27 The Lord is God; he has given us light; ♦︎
link the pilgrims with cords
right to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God and I will thank you; ♦︎
you are my God and I will exalt you.
29 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; ♦︎
his mercy endures for ever.

17 While Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them on the way, 18See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death; 19then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised.
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling before him, she asked a favour of him. 21And he said to her, What do you want? She said to him, Declare that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom. 22But Jesus answered, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?* They said to him, We are able. 23He said to them, You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.
24 When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. 25But Jesus called them to him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 26It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; 28just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
