Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

106 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.

² Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?

³ O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.

⁴ Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.

⁵ To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.

⁶ We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.

⁷ Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.

⁸ And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,

⁹ And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

¹⁰ And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹ And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.

¹² And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

¹⁰ And Jacob goeth out from Beer-Sheba, and goeth toward Haran,

¹¹ and he toucheth at a [certain] place, and lodgeth there, for the sun hath gone in, and he taketh of the stones of the place, and maketh [them] his pillows, and lieth down in that place.

¹² And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by it;

¹³ and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, `I [am] Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;

¹⁴ and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.

¹⁵ `And lo, I [am] with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.'

¹⁶ And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, `Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;'

¹⁷ and he feareth, and saith, `How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.'

¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;

¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

¹⁹ for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen!
