Psalm 4

1  Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; ♦︎
   you set me at liberty when I was in trouble;
      have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2  How long will you nobles dishonour my glory; ♦︎
   how long will you love vain things and seek after falsehood?
3  But know that the Lord has shown me his marvellous kindness; ♦︎
   when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
4  Stand in awe, and sin not; ♦︎
   commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
5  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness ♦︎
   and put your trust in the Lord.
6  There are many that say, ‘Who will show us any good?’ ♦︎
   Lord, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.
7  You have put gladness in my heart, ♦︎
   more than when their corn and wine and oil increase.
8  In peace I will lie down and sleep, ♦︎
   for it is you Lord, only, who make me dwell in safety.

Psalm 8

1  O Lord our governor, ♦︎
   how glorious is your name in all the world!
2  Your majesty above the heavens is praised ♦︎
   out of the mouths of babes at the breast.
3  You have founded a stronghold against your foes, ♦︎
   that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
4  When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, ♦︎
   the moon and the stars that you have ordained,
5  What is man, that you should be mindful of him; ♦︎
   the son of man, that you should seek him out?
6  You have made him little lower than the angels ♦︎
   and crown him with glory and honour.
7  You have given him dominion over the works of your hands ♦︎
   and put all things under his feet,
8  All sheep and oxen, ♦︎
   even the wild beasts of the field,
9  The birds of the air, the fish of the sea ♦︎
   and whatsoever moves in the paths of the sea.
10  O Lord our governor, ♦︎
   how glorious is your name in all the world!

Matthew 9: 27-34

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, crying loudly, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’ ²⁸When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ ²⁹Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you.’ ³⁰And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly ordered them, ‘See that no one knows of this.’ ³¹But they went away and spread the news about him throughout that district.

Jesus Heals One Who Was Mute

32 After they had gone away, a demoniac who was mute was brought to him. ³³And when the demon had been cast out, the one who had been mute spoke; and the crowds were amazed and said, ‘Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.’ ³⁴But the Pharisees said, ‘By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.’^*
