Scripture Reading – Acts 14:21-28- NIV                          

²¹ They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch,²² strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. ²³ Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust. ²⁴ After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia, ²⁵ and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

²⁶ From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.²⁷ On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. ²⁸ And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

Of David. A psalm.

¹ The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

² The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of your enemies!”

³ Your troops will be willing on your day of battle.  Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb.

⁴ The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

⁶ He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

⁷ He will drink from a brook along the way, and so he will lift his head high.
