Psalm 111 (APBA)
1 O praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord
with my whole heart:
in the company of the upright
and among the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great:
and studied by all who take delight in them.
3 His deeds are majestic and glorious:
and his righteousness stands for ever.
4 His marvellous acts have won him a name
to be remembered:
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
5 He gives food to those that fear him:
he remembers his covenant for ever.
6 He showed his people the power of his acts:
in giving them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just:
and all his commandments are sure;
8 They stand firm for ever and ever:
they are done in faithfulness and in truth.
9 He sent redemption to his people,
he ordained his covenant for ever:
holy is his name and worthy to be feared.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and of good understanding are those
that keep his commandments:
his praise shall endure for ever.
Hear the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God
Mark 1:21-28
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, throwing him into convulsions 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.’ 28 At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of
Galilee.
