Psalm 89:20-37
20I have found my servant David; with my holy oil I have anointed him; 21my hand shall always remain with him; my arm also shall strengthen him. 22The enemy shall not outwit him, the wicked shall not humble him. 23I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. 24My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him; and in my name his horn shall be exalted. 25I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. 26He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation!’ 27I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. 28Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him, and my covenant with him will stand firm. 29I will establish his line forever, and his throne as long as the heavens endure. 30If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my ordinances, 31if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments, 32then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with scourges; 33but I will not remove from him my steadfast love, or be false to my faithfulness. 34I will not violate my covenant, or alter the word that went forth from my lips. 35Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 36His line shall continue forever, and his throne endure before me like the sun. 37It shall be established forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the skies.” Selah
Mark 6:30-34,53-56
30The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. 31He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. 34As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
53When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. 54When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, 55and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.
