1 May the Lord hear you in the day of trouble, ♦︎
the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
2 Send you help from his sanctuary ♦︎
and strengthen you out of Zion;
3 Remember all your offerings ♦︎
and accept your burnt sacrifice;
4 Grant you your hearts desire ♦︎
and fulfil all your mind.
5 May we rejoice in your salvation
and triumph in the name of our God; ♦︎
may the Lord perform all your petitions.
6 Now I know that the Lord will save his anointed; ♦︎
he will answer him from his holy heaven,
with the mighty strength of his right hand.
7 Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, ♦︎
but we will call only on the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen, ♦︎
but we are risen and stand upright.
9 O Lord, save the king ♦︎
and answer us when we call upon you.

15 Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed to Samuel: 16Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen the suffering of* my people, because their outcry has come to me. 17When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, Here is the man of whom I spoke to you. He it is who shall rule over my people. 18Then Saul approached Samuel inside the gate, and said, Tell me, please, where is the house of the seer? 19Samuel answered Saul, I am the seer; go up before me to the shrine, for today you shall eat with me, and in the morning I will let you go and will tell you all that is on your mind. 20As for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, give no further thought to them, for they have been found. And on whom is all Israels desire fixed, if not on you and on all your ancestral house? 21Saul answered, I am only a Benjaminite, from the least of the tribes of Israel, and my family is the humblest of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin. Why then have you spoken to me in this way?
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his servant-boy and brought them into the hall, and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited, of whom there were about thirty. 23And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion I gave you, the one I asked you to put aside. 24The cook took up the thigh and what went with it* and set them before Saul. Samuel said, See, what was kept is set before you. Eat; for it is set* before you at the appointed time, so that you might eat with the guests.*
So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 25When they came down from the shrine into the town, a bed was spread for Saul* on the roof, and he lay down to sleep.* 26Then at the break of dawn* Samuel called to Saul upon the roof, Get up, so that I may send you on your way. Saul got up, and both he and Samuel went out into the street.
27 As they were going down to the outskirts of the town, Samuel said to Saul, Tell the boy to go on before us, and when he has passed on, stop here yourself for a while, that I may make known to you the word of God.

5 Now God* did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels.
6But someone has testified somewhere,
What are human beings that you are mindful of them,*
or mortals, that you care for them?*
7 You have made them for a little while lower* than the angels;
you have crowned them with glory and honour,*
8 subjecting all things under their feet.
Now in subjecting all things to them, God* left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,
9but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower* than the angels, now crowned with glory and honour because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God* he might taste death for everyone.
