[1] Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.
[2] Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
[3] If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
[4] But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
[5] I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
[6] my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
[7] O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
[8] It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.

Revelation 4:1-11
[1]After this I looked, and there in heaven a door stood open! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." [2]At once I was in the spirit, and there in heaven stood a throne, with one seated on the throne!
[3]And the one seated there looks like jasper and cornelian, and around the throne is a rainbow that looks like an emerald. [4]Around the throne are twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones are twenty-four elders, dressed in white robes, with golden crowns on their heads. [5]Coming from the throne are flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and in front of the throne burn seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God; [6]and in front of the throne there is something like a sea of glass, like crystal.
Around the throne, and on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: [7]the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with a face like a human face, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle. [8]And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all
around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing,
"Holy, holy, holy,
the Lord God the Almighty,
who was and is and is to come."
[9]And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, [10]the twenty-four elders fall before the one who is seated on the throne and worship the one who lives for ever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne,
singing,
[11] "You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created."
[3]And the one seated there looks like jasper and cornelian, and around the throne is a rainbow that looks like an emerald.

Psalm 143
[1] Hear my prayer, O LORD;
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness.
[2] Do not enter into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.
[3] For the enemy has pursued me,
crushing my life to the ground,
making me sit in darkness like those long dead.
[4] Therefore my spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.
[5] I remember the days of old,
I think about all your deeds,
I meditate on the works of your hands.
[6] I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
Selah
[7] Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me,
or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
[8] Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning,
for in you I put my trust.
Teach me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
[9] Save me, O LORD, from my enemies;
I have fled to you for refuge.
[10] Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
on a level path.
[11] For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life.
In your righteousness bring me out of trouble.
[12] In your steadfast love cut off my enemies,
and destroy all my adversaries,
for I am your servant.
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness.
[2] Do not enter into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.
[3] For the enemy has pursued me,
crushing my life to the ground,
making me sit in darkness like those long dead.
[4] Therefore my spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.
[5] I remember the days of old,
I think about all your deeds,
I meditate on the works of your hands.
[6] I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
Selah
[7] Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me,
or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
[8] Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning,
for in you I put my trust.
Teach me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
[9] Save me, O LORD, from my enemies;
I have fled to you for refuge.
[10] Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
on a level path.
[11] For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life.
In your righteousness bring me out of trouble.
[12] In your steadfast love cut off my enemies,

Matthew 12:1-14
[1]At that time Jesus went through the cornfields on the sabbath; his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
[2]When the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, "Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the sabbath." [3]He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? [4]He entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him or his companions to eat, but only for the priests. [5]Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests in the temple break the sabbath and yet are guiltless? [6]I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. [7]But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. [8]For the Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."
[9]He left that place and entered their synagogue; [10]a man was there with a withered hand, and they asked him, "Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath?" so that they might accuse him. [11]He said to them, "Suppose one of you has only one sheep and it falls into a pit on the sabbath; will you not lay hold of it and lift it out? [12]How much more valuable is a human being than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the sabbath." [13]Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and it was restored, as sound as the other. [14]But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.
