    Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany

    Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    61

    Exaudi, DeusBCP p. 668

    1Hear my cry, O God, *and listen to my prayer.

    2I call upon you from the ends of the earth with heaviness in my heart; *set me upon the rock that is higher than I.

    3For you have been my refuge, *a strong tower against the enemy.

    4I will dwell in your house for ever; *I will take refuge under the cover of your wings.

    5For you, O God, have heard my vows; *you have granted me the heritage of those who fear your Name.

    6Add length of days to the king’s life; *let his years extend over many generations.

    7Let him sit enthroned before God for ever; *bid love and faithfulness watch over him.

    8So will I always sing the praise of your Name, *and day by day I will fulfill my vows.

    Nonne Deo?BCP p. 669

    1For God alone my soul in silence waits; *from him comes my salvation.

    2He alone is my rock and my salvation, *my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

    3How long will you assail me to crush me, all of you together, *as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?

    4They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; *lies are their chief delight.

    5They bless with their lips, *but in their hearts they curse.

    6For God alone my soul in silence waits; *truly, my hope is in him.

    7He alone is my rock and my salvation, *my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.

    8In God is my safety and my honor; *God is my strong rock and my refuge.

    9Put your trust in him always, O people, *pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.

    10Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *even those of low estate cannot be trusted.

    11On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *all of them together.

    12Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride; *though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

    13God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *that power belongs to God.

    14Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *for you repay everyone according to his deeds.

    Mark 8:1-10

    1 In those days when there was again a great crowd without anything to eat, he called his disciples and said to them, 2 “I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way—and some of them have come from a great distance.” 4 His disciples replied, “How can one feed these people with bread here in the desert?” 5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” 6 Then he ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and after giving thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute; and they distributed them to the crowd. 7 They had also a few small fish; and after blessing them, he ordered that these too should be distributed. 8 They ate and were filled; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. 9 Now there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. 10 And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

    Gal. 4:12-20

    12 Friends, I beg you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong. 13 You know that it was because of a physical infirmity that I first announced the gospel to you; 14 though my condition put you to the test, you did not scorn or despise me, but welcomed me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. 15 What has become of the good will you felt? For I testify that, had it been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17 They make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to exclude you, so that you may make much of them. 18 It is good to be made much of for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children, for whom I am again in the pain of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, 20 I wish I were present with you now and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

    Isa. 52:1-12

    1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion! Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for the uncircumcised and the unclean shall enter you no more. 2 Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck, O captive daughter Zion! 3 For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money. 4 For thus says the Lord God: Long ago, my people went down into Egypt to reside there as aliens; the Assyrian, too, has oppressed them without cause. 5 Now therefore what am I doing here, says the Lord, seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Their rulers howl, says the Lord, and continually, all day long, my name is despised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here am I. 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” 8 Listen! Your sentinels lift up their voices, together they sing for joy; for in plain sight they see the return of the Lord to Zion. 9 Break forth together into singing, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. 11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the Lord. 12 For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight; for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
