+Psalm: Psalms 50:1-2,5-6,14-15

A Psalm by Asaph.
1 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks,
and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth.

5 "Gather my saints together to me,
those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness,
for God himself is judge.
Selah.

14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
Pay your vows to the Most High.

15 Call on me in the day of trouble.
I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

+Gospel: Luke 19:41-44

41 When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,

42 saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

43 For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation."

It is prayed that peace is richly on you.
