As he was walking by the Lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who was
called Peter, and his brother Andrew; they were making a cast into the lake with
their net, for they were fishermen.And he said to them, ‘Come after me and I will
make you fishers of people.’And at once they left their nets and followed him. |

The Morning Psalm
|
|
Happy Are All Who Take Refuge in Him
|
|
Why are the nations in an uproar?* Why do the peoples mutter empty threats?
Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt, and the princes plot together,*
against the LORD and against his Anointed?
“Let us break their yoke,” they say;* “let us cast off their bonds from us.”
He whose throne is in heaven is laughing;* the LORD has them in derision.
Then he speaks to them in his wrath,* and his rage fills them with terror.
“I myself have set my king* upon my holy hill of Zion.”
Let me announce the decree of the LORD;* he said to me, “You are my Son; this day
have I begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance* and the ends of the
earth for your possession.
You shall crush them with an iron rod* and shatter them like a piece of pottery.”
And now, you kings, be wise;* be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Submit to the LORD with fear,* and with trembling bow before him;
Lest he be angry and you perish;* for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Happy are they all* who take refuge in him! |
|

Their sound has gone out into all the lands,* and their message to the ends of the
