Go give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
St. Peter reminds us that, though scoffers mock the teaching of Christ's return in glory, the day of the Lord will come and bring new heavens and a new earth…
