In the assembly of all your people, LORD, I told the good news that you save us. You know that I will never stop telling it.

Now that I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me, O God! Be with me while I proclaim your power and might to all generations to come.

Your righteousness, God, reaches the skies. You have done great things; there is no one like you.

Some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this the man the authorities are trying to kill?

Look! He is talking in public, and they say nothing against him! Can it be that they really know that he is the Messiah?

He purifies people from their sins, and both he and those who are made pure all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his family.

He says to God, "I will tell my people what you have done; I will praise you in their meeting."

Jesus answered, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"

Then he pointed to his disciples and said, "Look! Here are my mother and my brothers!

The King will reply, 'I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!'

"Do not be afraid," Jesus said to them. "Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

"Do not hold on to me," Jesus told her, "because I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am returning to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God."

Those whom God had already chosen he also set apart to become like his Son, so that the Son would be the first among many believers.

In the full assembly I will praise you for what you have done; in the presence of those who worship you I will offer the sacrifices I promised.

In the assembly of all your people, LORD, I told the good news that you save us. You know that I will never stop telling it.

I have not kept the news of salvation to myself; I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help. In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent about your loyalty and constant love.
