The Ruler to Be Born in Bethlehem
5 [a] Now muster
your troops, O daughter[b] of troops;
siege
is laid against us;
with a rod they strike the judge of Israel
on
the cheek.
2 [c] But you, O

from you shall come forth for me
one
who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
from
ancient days.
3 Therefore he shall give them up until the

when

then the rest of his brothers shall return
to
the people of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in
the strength of the Lord,
in
the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.

and

Psalm 95:1-7
Let Us Sing Songs of Praise
95 Oh come,
let us sing to the Lord;
let
us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with
thanksgiving;
let
us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3 For the Lord is a great
God,
and
a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the
heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and
his hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and
bow down;
let
us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7 For he is our God,
and
we are the people of his pasture,
and
the sheep of his hand.
Today, if you hear his voice,
