다윗의 시

1   여호와여 주의 장막에 머무를 자 누구오며 주의 성산에 사는 자 누구오니이까
2   정직하게 행하며 공의를 실천하며 그의 마음에 진실을 말하며
3   그의 혀로 남을 허물하지 아니하고 그의 이웃에게 악을 행하지 아니하며 그의 이웃을 비방하지 아니하며
4   그의 눈은 망령된 자를 멸시하며 여호와를 두려워하는 자들을 존대하며 그의 마음에 서원한 것은 해로울지라도 변하지 아니하며
5   이자를 받으려고 돈을 꾸어 주지 아니하며 뇌물을 받고 무죄한 자를 해하지 아니하는 자이니 이런 일을 행하는 자는 영원히 흔들리지 아니하리이다

제 147 편

1   할렐루야 우리 하나님을 찬양하는 일이 선함이여 찬송하는 일이 아름답고 마땅하도다
2   여호와께서 예루살렘을 세우시며 이스라엘의 흩어진 자들을 모으시며
3   상심한 자들을 고치시며 그들의 상처를 싸매시는도다
4   그가 별들의 수효를 세시고 그것들을 다 이름대로 부르시는도다
5   우리 주는 위대하시며 능력이 많으시며 그의 지혜가 무궁하시도다
6   여호와께서 겸손한 자들은 붙드시고 악인들은 땅에 엎드러뜨리시는도다
7   감사함으로 여호와께 노래하며 수금으로 하나님께 찬양할지어다
8   그가 구름으로 하늘을 덮으시며 땅을 위하여 비를 준비하시며 산에 풀이 자라게 하시며
9   들짐승과 우는 까마귀 새끼에게 먹을 것을 주시는도다
10   여호와는 말의 힘이 세다 하여 기뻐하지 아니하시며 사람의 다리가 억세다 하여 기뻐하지 아니하시고
11   여호와는 자기를 경외하는 자들과 그의 인자하심을 바라는 자들을 기뻐하시는도다

^63:15  Look down from heaven and see,
          from your holy and glorious habitation.
     Where are your zeal and your might?
          The yearning of your heart and your compassion?
          They are withheld from me.
¹⁶  For you are our father,
          though Abraham does not know us
          and Israel does not acknowledge us;
     you, O LORD, are our father;
          our Redeemer from of old is your name.
¹⁷  Why, O LORD, do you make us stray from your ways
          and harden our heart, so that we do not fear you?
     Turn back for the sake of your servants,
          for the sake of the tribes that are your heritage.
¹⁸  Your holy people took possession for a little while;
          but now our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
¹⁹  We have long been like those whom you do not rule,
          like those not called by your name.

^64:1  O that you would tear open the heavens and come down,
          so that the mountains would quake at your presence —
²   as when fire kindles brushwood
          and the fire causes water to boil —
     to make your name known to your adversaries,
          so that the nations might tremble at your presence!
³   When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect,
          you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
⁴   From ages past no one has heard,
          no ear has perceived,
     no eye has seen any God besides you,
          who works for those who wait for him.
⁵   You meet those who gladly do right,
          those who remember you in your ways.
     But you were angry, and we sinned;
          because you hid yourself we transgressed.
⁶   We have all become like one who is unclean,
          and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth.
     We all fade like a leaf,
          and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
⁷   There is no one who calls on your name,
          or attempts to take hold of you;
     for you have hidden your face from us,
          and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.
⁸   Yet, O LORD, you are our Father;
          we are the clay, and you are our potter;
          we are all the work of your hand.
⁹   Do not be exceedingly angry, O LORD,
          and do not remember iniquity forever.
          Now consider, we are all your people.

¹The saying is sure: whoever aspires to the office of bishop desires a noble task. ²Now a bishop must be above reproach, married only once, temperate, sensible, respectable, hospitable, an apt teacher, ³not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, and not a lover of money. ⁴He must manage his own household well, keeping his children submissive and respectful in every way — ⁵for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church? ⁶He must not be a recent convert, or he may be puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. ⁷Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace and the snare of the devil.

⁸Deacons likewise must be serious, not double-tongued, not indulging in much wine, not greedy for money; ⁹they must hold fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. ¹⁰And let them first be tested; then, if they prove themselves blameless, let them serve as deacons. ¹¹Women likewise must be serious, not slanderers, but temperate, faithful in all things. ¹²Let deacons be married only once, and let them manage their children and their households well; ¹³for those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, ¹⁵if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. ¹⁶Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great:
     He was revealed in flesh,
          vindicated in spirit,
               seen by angels,
     proclaimed among Gentiles,
          believed in throughout the world,
               taken up in glory.

^11:27Again they came to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him ²⁸and said, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?” Jesus said to them, ²⁹“I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. ³⁰Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin? Answer me.” ³¹They argued with one another, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ³²But shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?” — they were afraid of the crowd, for all regarded John as truly a prophet. ³³So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

^12:1Then he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watchtower; then he leased it to tenants and went to another country. ²When the season came, he sent a slave to the tenants to collect from them his share of the produce of the vineyard. ³But they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. ⁴And again he sent another slave to them; this one they beat over the head and insulted. ⁵Then he sent another, and that one they killed. And so it was with many others; some they beat, and others they killed. ⁶He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ ⁷But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ ⁸So they seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. ⁹What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. ¹⁰Have you not read this scripture:
     ‘The stone that the builders rejected
          has become the cornerstone;
¹¹  this was the Lord’s doing,
          and it is amazing in our eyes’?”

¹²When they realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowd. So they left him and went away.

제 48 편

고라 자손의 시 곧 노래

1   여호와는 위대하시니 우리 하나님의 성, 거룩한 산에서 극진히 찬양 받으시리로다
2   터가 높고 아름다워 온 세계가 즐거워함이여 큰 왕의 성 곧 북방에 있는 시온 산이 그러하도다
3   하나님이 그 여러 궁중에서 자기를 요새로 알리셨도다
4   왕들이 모여서 함께 지나갔음이여
5   그들이 보고 놀라고 두려워 빨리 지나갔도다
6   거기서 떨림이 그들을 사로잡으니 고통이 해산하는 여인의 고통 같도다
7   주께서 동풍으로 다시스의 배를 깨뜨리시도다
8   우리가 들은 대로 만군의 여호와의 성, 우리 하나님의 성에서 보았나니 하나님이 이를 영원히 견고하게 하시리로다 (셀라)
9   하나님이여 우리가 주의 전 가운데에서 주의 인자하심을 생각하였나이다
10   하나님이여 주의 이름과 같이 찬송도 땅 끝까지 미쳤으며 주의 오른손에는 정의가 충만하였나이다
11   주의 심판으로 말미암아 시온 산은 기뻐하고 유다의 딸들은 즐거워할지어다
12   너희는 시온을 돌면서 그 곳을 둘러보고 그 망대들을 세어 보라
13   그의 성벽을 자세히 보고 그의 궁전을 살펴서 후대에 전하라
14   이 하나님은 영원히 우리 하나님이시니 그가 우리를 죽을 때까지 인도하시리로다

다윗의 시, 인도자를 따라 현악에 맞춘 노래

1   내 의의 하나님이여 내가 부를 때에 응답하소서 곤란 중에 나를 너그럽게 하셨사오니 내게 은혜를 베푸사 나의 기도를 들으소서
2   인생들아 어느 때까지 나의 영광을 바꾸어 욕되게 하며 헛된 일을 좋아하고 거짓을 구하려는가 (셀라)
3   여호와께서 자기를 위하여 경건한 자를 택하신 줄 너희가 알지어다 내가 그를 부를 때에 여호와께서 들으시리로다
4   너희는 1)떨며 범죄하지 말지어다 자리에 누워 심중에 말하고 잠잠할지어다 (셀라)
5   의의 제사를 드리고 여호와를 의지할지어다
6   여러 사람의 말이 우리에게 선을 보일 자 누구뇨 하오니 여호와여 주의 얼굴을 들어 우리에게 비추소서
7   주께서 내 마음에 두신 기쁨은 그들의 곡식과 새 포도주가 풍성할 때보다 더하니이다
8   내가 평안히 눕고 자기도 하리니 나를 안전히 살게 하시는 이는 오직 여호와이시니이다
