Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus,

He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end.

God, give Your justice to the king and Your righteousness to the king’s son.He will judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted ones with justice.May the mountains bring prosperity to the people and the hills, righteousness.May he vindicate the afflicted among the people, help the poor, and crush the oppressor.May he continue while the sun endures and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.May he be like rain that falls on the cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound until the moon is no more.May he rule from sea to sea and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.May desert tribes kneel before him and his enemies lick the dust.May the kings of Tarshish and the coasts and islands bring tribute, the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.Let all kings bow down to him, all nations serve him.For he will rescue the poor who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.He will have pity on the poor and helpless and save the lives of the poor.He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious in his sight.May he live long!

My heart is moved by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.You are the most handsome of men; grace flows from your lips. Therefore God has blessed you forever.Mighty warrior, strap your sword at your side. In your majesty and splendor—in your splendor ride triumphantly in the cause of truth, humility, and justice. May your right hand show your awe-inspiring acts.Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; the peoples fall under you.Your throne, God, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume all your garments; from ivory palaces harps bring you joy.Kings’ daughters are among your honored women; the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir, stands at your right hand.Listen, daughter, pay attention and consider: forget your people and your father’s house,and the king will desire your beauty. Bow down to him, for he is your lord.The daughter of Tyre, the wealthy people, will seek your favor with gifts.In her chamber, the royal daughter is all glorious, her clothing embroidered with gold.In colorful garments she is led to the king; after her, the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.They are led in with gladness and rejoicing; they enter the king’s palace.Your sons will succeed your ancestors; you will make them princes throughout the land.I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.

All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.

“ I have consecrated My King on Zion, My holy mountain.”I will declare the Lord’s decree: He said to Me,“ You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.You will break them with a rod of iron; You will shatter them like pottery.”So now, kings, be wise; receive instruction, you judges of the earth.Serve the Lord with reverential awe and rejoice with trembling.Pay homage to the Son or He will be angry and you will perish in your rebellion, for His anger may ignite at any moment. All those who take refuge in Him are happy.

In that day— this is the Lord’s declaration— I will remove your horses from you and wreck your chariots.I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your fortresses.

I continued watching in the night visions, and I saw One like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was escorted before Him.He was given authority to rule, and glory, and a kingdom; so that those of every people, nation, and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.

He will not argue or shout, and no one will hear His voice in the streets.He will not break a bruised reed, and He will not put out a smoldering wick, until He has led justice to victory.

He had 40 sons and 30 grandsons, who rode on 70 donkeys. Abdon judged Israel eight years,

This is the declaration of the Lord to my Lord:“ Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”The Lord will extend Your mighty scepter from Zion. Rule over Your surrounding enemies.Your people will volunteer on Your day of battle. In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, the dew of Your youth belongs to You.The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:“ Forever, You are a priest like Melchizedek.”

So they went and found a young donkey outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it,and some of those standing there said to them,“ What are you doing, untying the donkey?”They answered them just as Jesus had said, so they let them go.Then they brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their robes on it, and He sat on it.Many people spread their robes on the road, and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.Then those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting: Hosanna! He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One!The coming kingdom of our father David is blessed! Hosanna in the highest heaven!And He went into Jerusalem and into the temple complex. After looking around at everything, since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

But they shouted,“ Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them,“ Should I crucify your king?”“ We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus away.Carrying His own cross, He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.There they crucified Him and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was: JESUS THE NAZARENE THE KING OF THE JEWS.Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate,“ Don’t write,‘ The King of the Jews,’ but that He said,‘ I am the King of the Jews.’”Pilate replied,“ What I have written, I have written.”

Now I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ— I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.
