Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
19 The heavens declare the Glory of God, and the firmament shows the work of His Hands.
2 Day unto day utters the same, and night unto night teaches knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone forth through all the earth; and their words into the ends of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the Sun,
5 which comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoices like a mighty man to run his race.
6 His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit is to the ends of the same, and nothing is hidden from the heat thereof.
7 The Law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the LORD is sure and gives wisdom to the simple.
8 The Statutes of the LORD are right and rejoice the heart. The Commandment of the LORD is pure and gives light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean and endures forever. The judgments of the LORD are truth. They are righteous altogether,
10 and more to be desired than gold—yea, than much fine gold—sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them your servant is made circumspect, and in the keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his faults? Cleanse me from secret faults.
13 Keep your servant from presumptuous sins, also. Do not let them reign over me. So, shall I be upright and made clean from much wickedness.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD my strength, and my redeemer. To him who excels. A Psalm of David.
16 And the third day, when it was morning, there was thunder and lightning and a thick cloud upon the mount and the sound of the trumpet, exceedingly loud, so that all the people who were in the camp were afraid.
17 Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meet with God. And they stood at the foot of the mount.
18 And Mount Sinai was engulfed in smoke, because the LORD came down upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended, as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly.
19 And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke. And God answered him by voice.
20 For the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount. And when the LORD called Moses up onto the top of the mount, Moses went up.
21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down and remind the people not to break their boundaries and go up to the LORD to gaze, lest many of them perish.
22 “Also, let the priests who come to the LORD be sanctified, lest the LORD destroy them.”
23 And Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up onto Mount Sinai. For You have charged us, saying, ‘Set boundaries on the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
24 And the LORD said to him, “Go. Get down and come up. You and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break their boundaries to come up to the LORD, lest He destroy them.”
25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.
2 And six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up into a high mountain, out of the way, alone. And His shape was changed before them.
3 And His clothing shined, and was very white, as snow; whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.
4 And Elijah appeared to them, with Moses. And they were talking with Jesus.
5 Then Peter answered, and said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tabernacles; one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Yet he did not know what he said. For they were afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that shadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.”
8 And suddenly they looked around and saw no one, except Jesus.
