1 Many a time have they fought against me from my youth, ♦︎
may Israel now say;
2 Many a time have they fought against me from my youth, ♦︎
but they have not prevailed against me.
3 The ploughers ploughed upon my back ♦︎
and made their furrows long.
4 But the righteous Lord ♦︎
has cut the cords of the wicked in pieces.
5 Let them be put to shame and turned backwards, ♦︎
as many as are enemies of Zion.
6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops, ♦︎
which withers before it can grow,
7 So that no reaper can fill his hand, ♦︎
nor a binder of sheaves his bosom;
8 And none who go by may say,
The blessing of the Lord be upon you. ♦︎
We bless you in the name of the Lord.
1 Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice; ♦︎
let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.
2 If you, Lord, were to mark what is done amiss, ♦︎
O Lord, who could stand?
3 But there is forgiveness with you, ♦︎
so that you shall be feared.
4 I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him; ♦︎
in his word is my hope.
5 My soul waits for the Lord,
more than the night watch for the morning, ♦︎
more than the night watch for the morning.
6 O Israel, wait for the Lord, ♦︎
for with the Lord there is mercy;
7 With him is plenteous redemption ♦︎
and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.
1 Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, ♦︎
you that by night stand in the house of the Lord.
2 Lift up your hands towards the sanctuary ♦︎
and bless the Lord.
3 The Lord who made heaven and earth ♦︎
give you blessing out of Zion.

23 Thus it was necessary for the sketches of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves need better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; 26for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgement, 28so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
