Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

29 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

² Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

³ The voice of Jehovah [is] on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah [is] on many waters.

⁴ The voice of Jehovah [is] with power, The voice of Jehovah [is] with majesty,

⁵ The voice of Jehovah [is] shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

⁷ The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

⁸ The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.'

¹⁰ Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,

¹¹ Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!

2 And draw near do the days of David to die, and he chargeth Solomon his son, saying,

² `I am going in the way of all the earth, and thou hast been strong, and become a man,

³ and kept the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, so that thou dost wisely all that thou dost, and whithersoever thou turnest,

⁴ so that Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake unto me, saying, If thy sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, There is not cut off a man of thine from the throne of Israel.

¹⁰ And David lieth down with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David,

¹¹ and the days that David hath reigned over Israel [are] forty years, in Hebron he hath reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he hath reigned thirty and three years.

¹² And Solomon hath sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom is established greatly,

5 And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,

² and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets,

³ and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon's, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.

⁴ And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, `Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;'

⁵ and Simon answering said to him, `Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.'

⁶ And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,

⁷ and they beckoned to the partners, who [are] in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.

⁸ And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

⁹ for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,

¹⁰ and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, `Fear not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;'

¹¹ and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.
