    The Sunday closest to July 27

    O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    Confitebimur tibiBCP p. 691

    1We give you thanks, O God, we give you thanks, *calling upon your Name and declaring all your wonderful deeds.

    2“I will appoint a time,” says God; *“I will judge with equity.

    3Though the earth and all its inhabitants are quaking, *I will make its pillars fast.

    4I will say to the boasters, ‘Boast no more,’ *and to the wicked, ‘Do not toss your horns;

    5Do not toss your horns so high, *nor speak with a proud neck.’”

    6For judgment is neither from the east nor from the west, *nor yet from the wilderness or the mountains.

    7It is God who judges; *he puts down one and lifts up another.

    8For in the Lord’s hand there is a cup, full of spiced and foaming wine, which he pours out, *and all the wicked of the earth shall drink and drain the dregs.

    9But I will rejoice for ever; *I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

    10He shall break off all the horns of the wicked; *but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

    Notus in JudaeaBCP p. 692

    1In Judah is God known; *his Name is great in Israel.

    2At Salem is his tabernacle, *and his dwelling is in Zion.

    3There he broke the flashing arrows, *the shield, the sword, and the weapons of battle.

    4How glorious you are! *more splendid than the everlasting mountains!

    5The strong of heart have been despoiled; they sink into sleep; *none of the warriors can lift a hand.

    6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, *both horse and rider lie stunned.

    7What terror you inspire! *who can stand before you when you are angry?

    8From heaven you pronounced judgment; *the earth was afraid and was still;

    9When God rose up to judgment *and to save all the oppressed of the earth.

    10Truly, wrathful Edom will give you thanks, *and the remnant of Hamath will keep your feasts.

    11Make a vow to the Lord your God and keep it; *let all around him bring gifts to him who is worthy to be feared.

    12He breaks the spirit of princes, *and strikes terror in the kings of the earth.

    Matt. 28:11-20

    11 While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 After the priests had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 telling them, “You must say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told among the Jews to this day. 16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

    Judges 5:19-31

    19 “The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; they got no spoils of silver. 20 The stars fought from heaven, from their courses they fought against Sisera. 21 The torrent Kishon swept them away, the onrushing torrent, the torrent Kishon. March on, my soul, with might! 22 “Then loud beat the horses’ hoofs with the galloping, galloping of his steeds. 23 “Curse Meroz, says the angel of the Lord, curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. 24 “Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, of tent-dwelling women most blessed. 25 He asked water and she gave him milk, she brought him curds in a lordly bowl. 26 She put her hand to the tent peg and her right hand to the workmen’s mallet; she struck Sisera a blow, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple. 27 He sank, he fell, he lay still at her feet; at her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell dead. 28 “Out of the window she peered, the mother of Sisera gazed through the lattice: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?’ 29 Her wisest ladies make answer, indeed, she answers the question herself: 30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil?— A girl or two for every man; spoil of dyed stuffs for Sisera, spoil of dyed stuffs embroidered, two pieces of dyed work embroidered for my neck as spoil?’ 31 “So perish all your enemies, O Lord! But may your friends be like the sun as it rises in its might.” And the land had rest forty years.

    Acts 2:22-36

    22 “You that are Israelites, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know— 23 this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. 24 But God raised him up, having freed him from death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. 25 For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken; 26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will live in hope. 27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One experience corruption. 28 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ 29 “Fellow Israelites, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Foreseeing this, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, saying, ‘He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh experience corruption.’ 32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, 35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’ 36 Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
