73  Your hands have made me and fashioned me; ♦︎
   give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
74  Those who fear you will be glad when they see me, ♦︎
   because I have hoped in your word.
75  I know, O Lord, that your judgements are right, ♦︎
   and that in very faithfulness you caused me to be troubled.
76  Let your faithful love be my comfort, ♦︎
   according to your promise to your servant.
77  Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live, ♦︎
   for your law is my delight.
78  Let the proud be put to shame, for they wrong me with lies; ♦︎
   but I will meditate on your commandments.
79  Let those who fear you turn to me, ♦︎
   even those who know your testimonies.
80  Let my heart be sound in your statutes, ♦︎
   that I may not be put to shame.
81  My soul is pining for your salvation; ♦︎
   I have hoped in your word.
82  My eyes fail with watching for your word, ♦︎
   while I say, ‘O when will you comfort me?’
83  I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, ♦︎
   yet I do not forget your statutes.
84  How many are the days of your servant? ♦︎
   When will you bring judgement on those who persecute me?
85  The proud have dug pits for me ♦︎
   in defiance of your law.
86  All your commandments are true; ♦︎
   help me, for they persecute me with falsehood.
87  They had almost made an end of me on earth, ♦︎
   but I have not forsaken your commandments.
88  Give me life according to your loving-kindness; ♦︎
   so shall I keep the testimonies of your mouth.
89  O Lord, your word is everlasting; ♦︎
   it ever stands firm in the heavens.
90  Your faithfulness also remains from one generation to another; ♦︎
   you have established the earth and it abides.
91  So also your judgements stand firm this day, ♦︎
   for all things are your servants.
92  If your law had not been my delight, ♦︎
   I should have perished in my trouble.
93  I will never forget your commandments, ♦︎
   for by them you have given me life.
94  I am yours, O save me! ♦︎
   For I have sought your commandments.
95  The wicked have waited for me to destroy me, ♦︎
   but I will meditate on your testimonies.
96  I have seen an end of all perfection, ♦︎
   but your commandment knows no bounds.

31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, ‘Rabbi, eat something.’ ³²But he said to them, ‘I have food to eat that you do not know about.’ ³³So the disciples said to one another, ‘Surely no one has brought him something to eat?’ ³⁴Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work. ³⁵Do you not say, “Four months more, then comes the harvest”? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. ³⁶The reaper is already receiving^* wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. ³⁷For here the saying holds true, “One sows and another reaps.” ³⁸I sent you to reap that for which you did not labour. Others have laboured, and you have entered into their labour.’
