1 I will exalt you, O God my King, ♦︎
and bless your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless you ♦︎
and praise your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; ♦︎
his greatness is beyond all searching out.
4 One generation shall praise your works to another ♦︎
and declare your mighty acts.
5 They shall speak of the majesty of your glory, ♦︎
and I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
6 They shall speak of the might of your marvellous acts, ♦︎
and I will also tell of your greatness.
7 They shall pour forth the story of your abundant kindness ♦︎
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, ♦︎
long-suffering and of great goodness.
9 The Lord is loving to everyone ♦︎
and his mercy is over all his creatures.
10 All your works praise you, O Lord, ♦︎
and your faithful servants bless you.
11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom ♦︎
and speak of your mighty power,
12 To make known to all peoples your mighty acts ♦︎
and the glorious splendour of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; ♦︎
your dominion endures throughout all ages.
14 The Lord is sure in all his words ♦︎
and faithful in all his deeds.
15 The Lord upholds all those who fall ♦︎
and lifts up all those who are bowed down.
16 The eyes of all wait upon you, O Lord, ♦︎
and you give them their food in due season.
17 You open wide your hand ♦︎
and fill all things living with plenty.
18 The Lord is righteous in all his ways ♦︎
and loving in all his works.
19 The Lord is near to those who call upon him, ♦︎
to all who call upon him faithfully.
20 He fulfils the desire of those who fear him; ♦︎
he hears their cry and saves them.
21 The Lord watches over those who love him, ♦︎
but all the wicked shall he destroy.
22 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, ♦︎
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

6 If anyone secretly entices youeven if it is your brother, your fathers son or* your mothers son, or your own son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your most intimate friendsaying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7any of the gods of the peoples that are around you, whether near you or far away from you, from one end of the earth to the other, 8you must not yield to or heed any such persons. Show them no pity or compassion and do not shield them. 9But you shall surely kill them; your own hand shall be first against them to execute them, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 10Stone them to death for trying to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 11Then all Israel shall hear and be afraid, and never again do any such wickedness.

20 Once Jesus* was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; 21nor will they say, Look, here it is! or There it is! For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among* you.
22 Then he said to the disciples, The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23They will say to you, Look there! or Look here! Do not go, do not set off in pursuit. 24For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.* 25But first he must endure much suffering and be rejected by this generation. 26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. 27They were eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of them. 28Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed all of them 30it will be like that on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31On that day, anyone on the housetop who has belongings in the house must not come down to take them away; and likewise anyone in the field must not turn back. 32Remember Lots wife. 33Those who try to make their life secure will lose it, but those who lose their life will keep it. 34I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35There will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken and the other left.* 37Then they asked him, Where, Lord? He said to them, Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
