I love because Yahweh has heard my plea for grace.
He inclined his ear to me;
In all my days I will proclaim:
Here ends the first segment of the psalm for Maundy Thursday, Series A
"The cords of death encircled me;
the snares of Sheol found me;
I discovered trouble and sorrow.
I called on the name of Yahweh,
'Dear Yahweh, deliver my life.'"
Here ends the first segment of the psalm for the 3rd Sunday of Easter, Series A
Yahweh is gracious and righteous;
Our God is full of motherly compassion.
Yahweh keeps the simple;
when I was down and out, he gave me victory.
Return to your resting place, I said to myself;
For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
For you delivered my life from death,
my eye from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living!
Here ends the psalm segment for the 14th Sunday after Pentecost, Series B
I believed even when I said, "I am suffering greatly."
I said in my panic: "All people are deceptive."
Here begins the second segment of the psalm for Maundy Thursday and the 3rd Sunday of Easter, Series A
What should I give back to Yahweh for all his benefits to me?
I will lift up the victory cup,
and call on/proclaim the name of Yahweh.
I will pay my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
How costly in Yahweh's eyes is the death of his faithful people.
Dear Yahweh, I am your servant,
I am your servant,
the child of my mother who is also your servant.
You have loosened my bands!
To you I will offer a thanksgiving sacrifice in the presence of all his people,
I will proclaim the name of Yahweh in the courts of Yahweh's house,
I will pay off my vows to Yahweh in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise be to Yahweh! Hallelujah!
