Psalm 104

1  Bless the Lord, O my soul. ♦︎
   O Lord my God, how excellent is your greatness!
2  You are clothed with majesty and honour, ♦︎
   wrapped in light as in a garment.
3  You spread out the heavens like a curtain ♦︎
   and lay the beams of your dwelling place in the waters above.
4  You make the clouds your chariot ♦︎
   and ride on the wings of the wind.
5  You make the winds your messengers ♦︎
   and flames of fire your servants.
6  You laid the foundations of the earth, ♦︎
   that it never should move at any time.
7  You covered it with the deep like a garment; ♦︎
   the waters stood high above the hills.
8  At your rebuke they fled; ♦︎
   at the voice of your thunder they hastened away.
9  They rose up to the hills and flowed down to the valleys beneath, ♦︎
   to the place which you had appointed for them.
10  You have set them their bounds that they should not pass, ♦︎
   nor turn again to cover the earth.
26  O Lord, how manifold are your works! ♦︎
   In wisdom you have made them all;
      the earth is full of your creatures.
37  Let sinners be consumed out of the earth
      and the wicked be no more. ♦︎
   Bless the Lord, O my soul.
      Alleluia.

Job 39: 1-30

39‘Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
   Do you observe the calving of the deer?
2 Can you number the months that they fulfil,
   and do you know the time when they give birth,
3 when they crouch to give birth to their offspring,
   and are delivered of their young?
4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open;
   they go forth, and do not return to them.


5 ‘Who has let the wild ass go free?
   Who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass,
6 to which I have given the steppe for its home,
   the salt land for its dwelling-place?
7 It scorns the tumult of the city;
   it does not hear the shouts of the driver.
8 It ranges the mountains as its pasture,
   and it searches after every green thing.


9 ‘Is the wild ox willing to serve you?
   Will it spend the night at your crib?
10 Can you tie it in the furrow with ropes,
   or will it harrow the valleys after you?
11 Will you depend on it because its strength is great,
   and will you hand over your labour to it?
12 Do you have faith in it that it will return,
   and bring your grain to your threshing-floor?*


13 ‘The ostrich’s wings flap wildly,
   though its pinions lack plumage.*
14 For it leaves its eggs to the earth,
   and lets them be warmed on the ground,
15 forgetting that a foot may crush them,
   and that a wild animal may trample them.
16 It deals cruelly with its young, as if they were not its own;
   though its labour should be in vain, yet it has no fear;
17 because God has made it forget wisdom,
   and given it no share in understanding.
18 When it spreads its plumes aloft,*
   it laughs at the horse and its rider.


19 ‘Do you give the horse its might?
   Do you clothe its neck with mane?
20 Do you make it leap like the locust?
   Its majestic snorting is terrible.
21 It paws* violently, exults mightily;
   it goes out to meet the weapons.
22 It laughs at fear, and is not dismayed;
   it does not turn back from the sword.
23 Upon it rattle the quiver,
   the flashing spear, and the javelin.
24 With fierceness and rage it swallows the ground;
   it cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
25 When the trumpet sounds, it says “Aha!”
   From a distance it smells the battle,
   the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.


26 ‘Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars,
   and spreads its wings towards the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
   and makes its nest on high?
28 It lives on the rock and makes its home
   in the fastness of the rocky crag.
29 From there it spies the prey;
   its eyes see it from far away.
30 Its young ones suck up blood;
   and where the slain are, there it is.’

Luke 22: 24-30

The Dispute about Greatness

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25But he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. 27For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28 ‘You are those who have stood by me in my trials; 29and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom, 30so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
