1 These are the words of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent
from Jerusalem to the remaining elders among the exiles, and to the
priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had
taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 4 Thus says the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile
from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant
gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and
daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in
marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and
do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent
you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare
you will find your welfare.
Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God

1 O shout with joy to God | all the | earth:
sing to the honour of his name
and give him | glory | as his | praise.
2 Say to God ‘How fearful | are your | works:
because of your great might your | enemies . shall | cower .be|fore
you.’
3 All the | earth shall | worship you:
and sing to you and sing | praises | to your | name.
4 Come then and see what | God has | done:
how terrible are his | dealings . with the | children . of | Adam
5 He turned the sea into dry land
they crossed the | river . on | foot:
then | were we | joyful . be|cause of him.
6 By his power he rules for ever
his eyes keep | watch . on the | nations:
and rebels shall | never | rise a|gainst him.
7 O bless our | God you | peoples:
and cause his | praises | to re|sound,
8 Who has held our | souls in | life:
who has not | suffered . our | feet to | slip.
9 For you have | proved us . O | God:
you have | tried us . as | silver . is | tried.
10 You brought us | into . the | net:
you laid sharp | torment | on our | loins,
11+ You let men ride over our heads
we went through | fire and | water:
but you brought us out | into . a | place of | liberty.PSALM 66.1-11

8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of
Davidthat is my gospel,
9 for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a
criminal. But the word of God is not chained.
10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that
they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with
eternal glory.
11 The saying is sure:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12 if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he will also deny us;
13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful
for he cannot deny himself.
14 Remind them of this, and warn them before God that they are to
avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those
who are listening.
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a
worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word
of truth.
Hear the word of the Lord,
thanks be to God.

11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region
between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered a village, ten lepers
approached him. Keeping their distance, 13 they called out, saying,
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! 14 When he saw them, he said to
them, Go and show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they
were made clean. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was
healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16 He prostrated
himself at Jesus feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. 17
Then Jesus asked, Were not ten made clean? But the other nine,
where are they? 18 Was none of them found to return and give praise
to God except this foreigner? 19 Then he said to him, Get up and go
on your way; your faith has made you well.
