    O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you, and grant that they may know and understand what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    148

    Laudate DominumBCP p. 805

    1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord from the heavens; *praise him in the heights.

    2Praise him, all you angels of his; *praise him, all his host.

    3Praise him, sun and moon; *praise him, all you shining stars.

    4Praise him, heaven of heavens, *and you waters above the heavens.

    5Let them praise the Name of the Lord; *for he commanded, and they were created.

    6He made them stand fast for ever and ever; *he gave them a law which shall not pass away.

    7Praise the Lord from the earth, *you sea-monsters and all deeps;

    8Fire and hail, snow and fog, *tempestuous wind, doing his will;

    9Mountains and all hills, *fruit trees and all cedars;

    10Wild beasts and all cattle, *creeping things and wingèd birds;

    11Kings of the earth and all peoples, *princes and all rulers of the world;

    12Young men and maidens, *old and young together.

    13Let them praise the Name of the Lord, *for his Name only is exalted, his splendor is over earth and heaven.

    14He has raised up strength for his people and praise for all his loyal servants, *the children of Israel, a people who are near him. Hallelujah!

    Cantate DominoBCP p. 807

    1Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song; *sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.

    2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; *let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

    3Let them praise his Name in the dance; *let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

    4For the Lord takes pleasure in his people *and adorns the poor with victory.

    5Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; *let them be joyful on their beds.

    6Let the praises of God be in their throat *and a two-edged sword in their hand;

    7To wreak vengeance on the nations *and punishment on the peoples;

    8To bind their kings in chains *and their nobles with links of iron;

    9To inflict on them the judgment decreed; *this is glory for all his faithful people. Hallelujah!

    Laudate DomiBCP p. 807

    1Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy temple; *praise him in the firmament of his power.

    2Praise him for his mighty acts; *praise him for his excellent greatness.

    3Praise him with the blast of the ram’s-horn; *Praise him with lyre and harp.

    4Praise him with timbrel and dance; *praise him with strings and pipe.

    5Praise him with resounding cymbals; *praise him with loud-clanging cymbals.

    6Let everything that has breath *praise the Lord. Hallelujah!

    Mark 1:21-27

    21 They went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. 22 They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, 24 and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, “What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”

    Joshua 1:1-18

    1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying, 2 “My servant Moses is dead. Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and the Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, to the Great Sea in the west shall be your territory. 5 No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. 9 I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” 10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, 11 “Pass through the camp, and command the people: ‘Prepare your provisions; for in three days you are to cross over the Jordan, to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God gives you to possess.’” 12 To the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said, 13 “Remember the word that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a place of rest, and will give you this land.’ 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan. But all the warriors among you shall cross over armed before your kindred and shall help them, 15 until the Lord gives rest to your kindred as well as to you, and they too take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to your own land and take possession of it, the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan to the east.” 16 They answered Joshua: “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you, as he was with Moses! 18 Whoever rebels against your orders and disobeys your words, whatever you command, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

    Acts 21:3-15

    3 We came in sight of Cyprus; and leaving it on our left, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, because the ship was to unload its cargo there. 4 We looked up the disciples and stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit they told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. 5 When our days there were ended, we left and proceeded on our journey; and all of them, with wives and children, escorted us outside the city. There we knelt down on the beach and prayed 6 and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home. 7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we greeted the believers and stayed with them for one day. 8 The next day we left and came to Caesarea; and we went into the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 He had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of prophecy. 10 While we were staying there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 He came to us and took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’” 12 When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 Since he would not be persuaded, we remained silent except to say, “The Lord’s will be done.” 15 After these days we got ready and started to go up to Jerusalem.
