Psalm 46 and John 2:1-11

PSALM 46

¹   God is our refuge and strength, 
          a very present help in trouble. 
²   Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, 
          though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; 
³   though its waters roar and foam, 
          though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah

⁴   There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, 
          the holy habitation of the Most High. 
⁵   God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved; 
          God will help it when the morning dawns. 
⁶   The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter; 
          he utters his voice, the earth melts.
⁷   The LORD of hosts is with us; 
          the God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah

⁸   Come, behold the works of the LORD;
          see what desolations he has brought on the earth. 
⁹   He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; 
          he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear; 
          he burns the shields with fire. 
¹⁰  “Be still, and know that I am God! 
          I am exalted among the nations, 
          I am exalted in the earth.” 
¹¹  The LORD of hosts is with us; 
          the God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah

JOHN 2:1–11

¹On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. ²Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. ³When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” ⁴And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” ⁵His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” ⁶Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. ⁷Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. ⁸He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.” So they took it. ⁹When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom ¹⁰and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.”¹¹Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
