Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
God’s Name Is Great in Israel
For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
76 God is (A)known in Judah;
His name is (B)great in Israel.
2 So His [a](C)tabernacle is in (D)Salem;
His (E)dwelling place is in Zion.
3 There He (F)broke the [b]flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the battle. [c]Selah.
4 You are shining,
Majestic from the mountains of prey.
5 The (G)stouthearted were plundered,
[d]They sank into sleep;
And none of the [e]warriors could use his hands.
6 At Your (H)rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both (I)chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.
7 But You, You are [f](J)fearsome;
And (K)who can stand in Your presence when once [g]You are angry?
Yahweh Scatters the Egyptians
20 In the (A)eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 21 “Son of man, I have (B)broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been (C)bound up to be given healing [a]or wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to seize the sword. 22 Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Behold, I am (D)against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the (E)broken; and I will make the sword (F)fall from his hand. 23 I will (G)scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands. 24 For I will (H)strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put (I)My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh so that he will groan before him with the groanings of a wounded man. 25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he (J)stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26 When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”
25 “These things I have spoken to you in (A)figures of speech; (B)an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you openly of the Father. 26 (C)On that day (D)you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27 for (E)the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and (F)have believed that (G)I came forth from the Father. 28 (H)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and (I)going to the Father.”
29 His disciples *said, “Behold, now You are speaking openly and are not [a]using (J)a figure of speech. 30 Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we (K)believe that You (L)came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, (M)an hour is coming, and has already come, for (N)you to be scattered, each to (O)his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet (P)I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, so that (Q)in Me you may have peace. (R)In the world you have tribulation, but (S)take courage; (T)I have overcome the world.”
