1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and in your faithfulness give ear to my supplications; ♦︎
answer me in your righteousness.
2 Enter not into judgement with your servant, ♦︎
for in your sight shall no one living be justified.
3 For the enemy has pursued me,
crushing my life to the ground, ♦︎
making me sit in darkness like those long dead.
4 My spirit faints within me; ♦︎
my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the time past; I muse upon all your deeds; ♦︎
I consider the works of your hands.
6 I stretch out my hands to you; ♦︎
my soul gasps for you like a thirsty land.
7 O Lord, make haste to answer me; my spirit fails me; ♦︎
hide not your face from me
lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.
8 Let me hear of your loving-kindness in the morning,
for in you I put my trust; ♦︎
show me the way I should walk in,
for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies, ♦︎
for I flee to you for refuge.
10 Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God; ♦︎
let your kindly spirit lead me on a level path.
11 Revive me, O Lord, for your names sake; ♦︎
for your righteousness sake, bring me out of trouble.

26On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
he sets up victory
like walls and bulwarks.
2 Open the gates,
so that the righteous nation that keeps faith
may enter in.
3 Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace
in peace because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the Lord for ever,
for in the Lord God *
you have an everlasting rock.
5 For he has brought low
the inhabitants of the height;
the lofty city he lays low.
He lays it low to the ground,
casts it to the dust.
6 The foot tramples it,
the feet of the poor,
the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the righteous is level;
O Just One, you make smooth the path of the righteous.
8 In the path of your judgements,
O Lord, we wait for you;
your name and your renown
are the souls desire.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night,
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgements are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
19 Your dead shall live, their corpses* shall rise.
O dwellers in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For your dew is a radiant dew,
and the earth will give birth to those long dead.*

24But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in, they did not find the body.* 4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. 5The women* were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men* said to them, Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.* 6Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again. 8Then they remembered his words, 9and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. 11But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.*
