  11. righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. L: Fire goes before him and consumes his adversaries on every side.

  12. P: His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. L: The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.

  13. P: The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory. L: All worshipers of images are put to shame, those who make their boast in worthless idols;

  17. SCRIPTURE READING1 Corinthians 11:17-22

  18. Now in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. For, to begin with, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent, Ibelieve it.

  19. Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper. For when the time comes to ear, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, andone goes hungryand anotherbecomes drunk.

  20. What! Do you not have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I condemn you? In this matter I do not commend you!
