안식일의 찬송 시

1-3   지존자여 십현금과 비파와 수금으로 여호와께 감사하며 주의 이름을 찬양하고 아침마다 주의 인자하심을 알리며 밤마다 주의 성실하심을 베풂이 좋으니이다
4   여호와여 주께서 행하신 일로 나를 기쁘게 하셨으니 주의 손이 행하신 일로 말미암아 내가 높이 외치리이다
5   여호와여 주께서 행하신 일이 어찌 그리 크신지요 주의 생각이 매우 깊으시니이다
6   어리석은 자도 알지 못하며 무지한 자도 이를 깨닫지 못하나이다
7   악인들은 풀 같이 자라고 악을 행하는 자들은 다 흥왕할지라도 영원히 멸망하리이다
8   여호와여 주는 영원토록 지존하시니이다
9   여호와여 주의 원수들은 패망하리이다 정녕 주의 원수들은 패망하리니 죄악을 행하는 자들은 다 흩어지리이다
10   그러나 주께서 내 뿔을 들소의 뿔 같이 높이셨으며 내게 신선한 기름을 부으셨나이다
11   내 원수들이 보응 받는 것을 내 눈으로 보며 일어나 나를 치는 행악자들이 보응 받는 것을 내 귀로 들었도다
12   의인은 종려나무 같이 번성하며 레바논의 백향목 같이 성장하리로다
13   이는 여호와의 집에 심겼음이여 우리 하나님의 뜰 안에서 번성하리로다
14   그는 늙어도 여전히 결실하며 진액이 풍족하고 빛이 청청하니
15   여호와의 정직하심과 나의 바위 되심과 그에게는 불의가 없음이 선포되리로다

제 149 편
1   할렐루야 새 노래로 여호와께 노래하며 성도의 모임 가운데에서 찬양할지어다
2   이스라엘은 자기를 지으신 이로 말미암아 즐거워하며 시온의 주민은 그들의 왕으로 말미암아 즐거워할지어다
3   춤 추며 그의 이름을 찬양하며 소고와 수금으로 그를 찬양할지어다
4   여호와께서는 자기 백성을 기뻐하시며 겸손한 자를 구원으로 아름답게 하심이로다
5   성도들은 영광 중에 즐거워하며 그들의 침상에서 기쁨으로 노래할지어다
6   그들의 입에는 하나님에 대한 찬양이 있고 그들의 손에는 두 날 가진 칼이 있도다
7   이것으로 뭇 나라에 보수하며 민족들을 벌하며
8   그들의 왕들은 사슬로, 그들의 귀인은 철고랑으로 결박하고
9   기록한 판결대로 그들에게 시행할지로다 이런 영광은 그의 모든 성도에게 있도다 할렐루야

¹⁹Then Nebuchadnezzar was so filled with rage against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face was distorted. He ordered the furnace heated up seven times more than was customary, ²⁰and ordered some of the strongest guards in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire. ²¹So the men were bound, still wearing their tunics, their trousers, their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the furnace of blazing fire. ²²Because the king’s command was urgent and the furnace was so overheated, the raging flames killed the men who lifted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. ²³But the three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down, bound, into the furnace of blazing fire.

²⁴Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up quickly. He said to his counselors, “Was it not three men that we threw bound into the fire?” They answered the king, “True, O king.” ²⁵He replied, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the fourth has the appearance of a god.” ²⁶Nebuchadnezzar then approached the door of the furnace of blazing fire and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. ²⁷And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men; the hair of their heads was not singed, their tunics were not harmed, and not even the smell of fire came from them. ²⁸Nebuchadnezzar said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants who trusted in him. They disobeyed the king’s command and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God. ²⁹Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that utters blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins; for there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way.” ³⁰Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

¹¹For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. ¹²We must not be like Cain who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. ¹³Do not be astonished, brothers and sisters, that the world hates you. ¹⁴We know that we have passed from death to life because we love one another. Whoever does not love abides in death. ¹⁵All who hate a brother or sister are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life abiding in them. ¹⁶We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us — and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. ¹⁷How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?

¹⁸Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

¹Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, ²where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished. ³The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” ⁴Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’”

⁵Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. ⁶And the devil said to him, “To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. ⁷If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” ⁸Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’”

⁹Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, ¹⁰for it is written,
     ‘He will command his angels concerning you,
          to protect you,’
¹¹and
     ‘On their hands they will bear you up,
          so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’”
¹²Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” ¹³When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.

다윗의 시

1   여호와는 나의 목자시니 내게 부족함이 없으리로다
2   그가 나를 푸른 풀밭에 누이시며 쉴 만한 물 가로 인도하시는도다
3   내 영혼을 소생시키시고 자기 이름을 위하여 의의 길로 인도하시는도다
4   내가 사망의 음침한 골짜기로 다닐지라도 해를 두려워하지 않을 것은 주께서 나와 함께 하심이라 주의 지팡이와 막대기가 나를 안위하시나이다
5   주께서 내 원수의 목전에서 내게 상을 차려 주시고 기름을 내 머리에 부으셨으니 내 잔이 넘치나이다
6   내 평생에 선하심과 인자하심이 반드시 나를 따르리니 내가 여호와의 집에 영원히 살리로다

제 114 편

1   이스라엘이 애굽에서 나오며 야곱의 집안이 언어가 다른 민족에게서 나올 때에
2   유다는 여호와의 성소가 되고 이스라엘은 그의 영토가 되었도다
3   바다가 보고 도망하며 요단은 물러갔으니
4   산들은 숫양들 같이 뛰놀며 작은 산들은 어린 양들 같이 뛰었도다
5   바다야 네가 도망함은 어찌함이며 요단아 네가 물러감은 어찌함인가
6   너희 산들아 숫양들 같이 뛰놀며 작은 산들아 어린 양들 같이 뛰놂은 어찌함인가
7   땅이여 너는 주 앞 곧 야곱의 하나님 앞에서 떨지어다
8   그가 반석을 쳐서 못물이 되게 하시며 차돌로 샘물이 되게 하셨도다
