Offering First Fruits

26 “Then it shall be, when you enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and live in it, that you shall take some of (A)the first of all the produce of the ground which you bring in from your land that the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put it in a basket and (B)go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to establish His name. And you shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord [a]my God that I have entered the land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’ Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it before the altar of the Lord your God. And you shall respond and say before the Lord your God, ‘(C)My father was a [b]wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt and [c]resided there, (D)few in number; but there he became a (E)great, mighty, and populous nation. And the (F)Egyptians treated us badly and oppressed us, and imposed hard labor on us. Then (G)we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our wretched condition, our trouble, and our oppression; (H)and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs and wonders; and He has brought us to this place, and has given us this land, (I)a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 And now behold, I have brought the first of the produce of the ground (J)which You, Lord have given me.’ Then you shall set it before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God; 11 and you, (K)the Levite, and the stranger who is among you shall (L)rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household.

12 (M)When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the [d]orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat in your [e]towns and be satisfied. 13 And you shall say before the Lord your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and have also given it to the Levite, the stranger, the [f]orphan, and the widow, in accordance with all Your commandments which You have commanded me; (N)I have not violated or forgotten any of Your commandments. 14 I have not eaten of it while mourning, nor have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor offered any of it to the dead. I have listened to the voice of the Lord my God; I have acted in accordance with everything that You have commanded me. 15 (O)Look down from Your holy dwelling place, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel, and the ground which You have given us, (P)a land flowing with milk and honey just as You swore to our fathers.’

16 “This day the Lord your God commands you to perform these statutes and ordinances. Therefore you shall be careful to perform them (Q)with all your heart and with all your soul. 17 (R)Today you have declared the Lord to be your God, and [g]that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His ordinances, and listen to His voice. 18 And the Lord has today declared you to be (S)His people, His personal possession, just as He promised you, and [h]that you are to keep all His commandments; 19 and [i]that He will (T)put you high above all the nations which He has made, for glory, fame, and honor; and that you shall be (U)a consecrated people to the Lord your God, just as He has spoken.”

A Psalm of Praise.

117 (A)Praise the Lord, all nations;
Sing His praises, all peoples!
For His (B)mercy toward us is [a]great,
And the [b](C)truth of the Lord is everlasting.
[c]Praise [d]the Lord!

Thanksgiving for the Lords Saving Goodness.

118 (D)Give thanks to the Lord, for (E)He is good;
For His mercy is everlasting.
Let (F)Israel say,
“His mercy is everlasting.”
Oh let the (G)house of Aaron say,
“His mercy is everlasting.”
Let those (H)who [e]fear the Lord say,
“His mercy is everlasting.”

From my (I)distress I called upon [f]the Lord;
[g]The Lord answered me and (J)put me in an open space.
The Lord is (K)for me; I will (L)not fear;
(M)What can man do to me?
The Lord is for me (N)among those who help me;
Therefore I will (O)look with satisfaction on those who hate me.
It is (P)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in people.
It is (Q)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in noblemen.

10 All nations (R)surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly (S)fend them off.
11 They (T)surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.
12 They surrounded me (U)like bees;
They were extinguished like a (V)fire of thorn bushes;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.
13 You (W)pushed me violently so that I [h]was falling,
But the Lord (X)helped me.
14 [i](Y)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become (Z)my salvation.

15 The sound of (AA)joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The (AB)right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.
16 The (AC)right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.
17 I (AD)will not die, but live,
And (AE)tell of the works of [j]the Lord.
18 [k]The Lord has (AF)disciplined me severely,
But He has (AG)not turned me over to death.

19 (AH)Open the gates of righteousness to me;
I will enter through them, I will give thanks to [l]the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
The (AI)righteous will enter through it.
21 I will give thanks to You, for You have (AJ)answered me,
And You have (AK)become my salvation.

22 A (AL)stone which the builders rejected
Has become the [m]chief cornerstone.
23 This came about from the Lord;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let’s (AM)rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Please, O Lord, (AN)do save us;
Please, O Lord, do send (AO)prosperity!
26 (AP)Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have (AQ)blessed you from the house of the Lord.
27 (AR)The Lord is God, and He has given us (AS)light;
Bind the festival sacrifice [n]to the (AT)horns of the altar with cords.
28 (AU)You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, (AV)I exalt You.
29 (AW)Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His mercy is everlasting.
