Psalm 99

God rules. On your toes, everybody! He rules from his angel throne-take notice!
  God looms majestic in Zion,
  He towers in splendor over all the big names.
  Great and terrible your beauty: let everyone praise you!
    Holy. Yes, holy.

  Strong King, lover of justice,
  You laid things out fair and square;
  You set down the foundations in Jacob,
  Foundation stones of just and right ways.
  Honor God, our God; worship his rule!
    Holy. Yes, holy.

  Moses and Aaron were his priests,
  Samuel among those who prayed to him.
  They prayed to God and he answered them;
  He spoke from the pillar of cloud.
  And they did what he said; they kept the law he gave them.
  And then God, our God, answered them
  (But you were never soft on their sins).
  Lift high God, our God; worship at his holy mountain.
    Holy. Yes, holy is God our God.

Midday Prayer

O Jesus, our great high priest,
be present with us
as you were present with your disciples,
and make yourself known to us in the breaking of bread.
Amen.

Matthew 17:1-13 NIV

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
