1Psalm 122 A Pilgrim’s Prayer for Jerusalem - A song of ascents. Of David. I - I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” 2And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about. 4There the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5There are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.

12giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. 13He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15II. The Preeminence of Christ His Person and Work - He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent. 19For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, 20and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross [through him], whether those on earth or those in heaven.

9Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!”

35The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said, “He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God.” 36Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine 37they called out, “If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.” 38Above him there was an inscription that read, “This is the King of the Jews.” 39Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us.” 40The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, “Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? 41And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.” 42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43He replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” The Death of Jesus.
