Psalms 69
For the director of music.
To the tune of Lilies, of David.
Save me, O God,
for the waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in the miry depths,
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
Looking for my God.
Those who hate me without reason
outnumber the hairs of my head;
may are my enemies without cause,
those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.
You, God, know my folly;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
Lord, the Lord Almighty,
may those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me.
For I endure scorn for your sake.
And shame covers my face.
I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother's children;
for zeal of your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who insult
you fall on me.
When I weep and fast,
I must endure scorn;
when I put on sackclothe,
people make sport of me.
those how sit at the gate mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.
But I pray to you, Lord,
in the time of your favor;
in your great love, O God,
answer me with your sure salvation.
Rescue me from the mire,
do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
from the deep waters,
Do not let the floodwaters engulf me
or the depths swallow me up
or the pit close its mouth over me.
Answer me, Lord, out of your goodness of your love;
in your great mercy turn to me.
Do not hide your face from your servant;
answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
Come near and rescue me;
deliver me because of my foes.
you know how I am scorned,
disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.
Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but I found none.
They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and a trap.
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.
Pour out your wrath on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.
May their place be deserted;
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
For they persecute those you wound and talk
about the pain of those you hurt.
Charge them with crime upon crime;
do not let them share in your salvation.
May they be blotted out of the book of life,
and not be listed with the righteous.
But as for me, afflicted and in pain--
may your salvation , God, protect me.
I will praise God's name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
This will please the Lord more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
The poor will see and be glad--
you who seek God, may your hearts live!
The Lord hears the needy
and does not despise his captive people.
Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and all that move in them,
for God will save Zion and rebuild
the cities of Judah.
Then people will settle there and possess it;
the children of his servants will inherit it,
and those who love his name will dwell there.
John 1
John's Disciples Follow Jesus
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, look the Lamb of God! When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?"
They said, Rabbi, (which means teacher) where are you staying? Come, he replied, "and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter).
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "follow me." Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. Philip found Nathanael and told him, We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote-Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Nazareth! Can anything good come from there? Nathaneal asked. Come and see, said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching he said of him, "Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit. How do you know me? Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you. Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi you are the son of God; you are the king of Israel. Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the tree. You will see greater things than that. He then added, "very truly I tell you, you will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the son of Man.
"Bethsaida is known as the birthplace of three of the Apostles – Peter, Andrew and Philip. Jesus himself visited Bethsaida and performed several miracles there. (Mark 8:22-26; Luke 9:10)
