Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

93 The Lord hath reigned, he is clothed with fairness; the Lord is clothed with strength, and hath girded himself. For he made steadfast the world; that shall not be moved. (The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, and hath girded himself. He hath fixed the world in its place; so that it shall not be moved.)

² God, thy seat was made ready from that time; thou art from the world. (God, thy throne was prepared from that time; thou art from before the beginning.)

³ Lord, the floods have raised; the floods have raised their voice. Floods have raised their waves; of the voices of many waters. (Lord, the oceans have raised, the oceans have raised up their roar. The oceans have raised up their roaring waves.)

⁴ The raisings of the sea be wonderful; the Lord is wonderful in high things. (But the Lord on high, thundereth more than the roar of many waters; he is mightier than the waves of the sea.)

⁵ Thy witnessings be made able to be believed greatly; Lord, holiness becometh thine house, into the length of days. (Thy laws stand firm, and unmoveable, or unchanging; Lord, thy House shall be holy forever.)

11 Therefore love thy Lord God, and keep thou his commandments, and ceremonies, and dooms, and his behests, in all time. (And so love the Lord thy God, and obey thou his commandments, and statutes, and laws, or judgements, and his orders, or his charges, for all time.)

² Know ye today those things which your sons know not, which sons have not seen the doctrine, (or discipline,) of your Lord God, nor his great works, and his strong hand, and his stretched (out) arm, (Know ye today those things which your children know not, for they have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, nor his greatness, and his strong hand, and his outstretched arm,)

³ his miracles, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh, [the] king, and to all his land,

⁴ and to all the host of the Egyptians, and to their horses, and cars; how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and the Lord did away them till into present day; (and to all the army of the Egyptians, and to their horses, and chariots; how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and the Lord did them away, and so things remain unto this present day;)

⁵ and which things the Lord did to you in (the) wilderness, till ye came to this place; (and what the Lord did for you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;)

⁶ and to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, that was the son of Reuben, which the earth swallowed, when his mouth was opened, with their house(hold)s, and tabernacles, and all the chattel that they had, in the midst of Israel. (and to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, who was Reuben’s son, who, when the earth opened its mouth, were swallowed up with their families, and their tents, and all their substance, in the midst of all Israel.)

⁷ Your eyes saw all the great works of the Lord, which he did,

⁸ that ye keep all his behests which I command today to you, and that ye may enter, and wield the land, (and so obey ye all his commandments which I command to you today, so that ye can enter, and take the land,)

⁹ to which ye shall enter, and ye live therein much time; which land, flowing with milk and honey, the Lord promised under an oath to your fathers and their seed. (to which ye shall enter; and so that ye can live a long time in the land, which the Lord promised by an oath to your fathers and their descendants, yea, a land flowing with milk and honey.)

¹⁰ For the land, to which thou shalt enter to wield, is not as the land of Egypt, out of which thou wentest, where when the seed is sown in the manner of gardens, moist waters be led thereto (where when the seed is sown, water must be brought to it, like in a garden);

¹¹ but the land that Israel shall wield is hills, and fields, and it abideth rains from heaven, (but the land which Israel shall possess is a land of mountains, and valleys, and it receiveth rain from the heavens,)

¹² which land thy Lord God beholdeth, and his eyes be therein (and his eyes be upon it), from the beginning of the year unto the end thereof.

¹³ Therefore if ye shall obey to my behests which I command today to you, that ye love your Lord God, and serve him in all your heart, and in all your soul; (And so if ye will obey my commandments which I command to you today, that ye love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul;)

¹⁴ he shall give to your land rain timely and late, that ye gather wheat, and wine, and oil, (he shall give rain on your land, timely and late, so that ye can gather corn, and wine, and oil,)

¹⁵ (and) hay of the fields to feed beasts, that ye both eat and be full-filled. (and hay from the fields to feed your beasts, so that ye shall eat and be filled full.)

¹⁶ Be ye ware, lest peradventure your heart be deceived, and ye go away from the Lord, and serve alien gods, and worship them; (Be ye careful, lest your heart be deceived, and ye go away from the Lord, and serve foreign, or other, gods, and worship them;)

¹⁷ and the Lord therefore be wroth, and close heaven, and rain come not down, neither the earth give his fruit, and ye perish swiftly from the full good land that the Lord shall give to you. (and so the Lord be angry, and close up the heavens, and the rain come not down, nor the earth give its fruit, and ye swiftly perish from the very good land which the Lord shall give you.)

¹³ I command to thee before God, that quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, that yielded a witnessing under Pilate of Pontii, a good confession,

¹⁴ that thou keep the commandment without wem, without reproof [irreprehensible], [till] into the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁵ whom the blessed and alone almighty king of kings and Lord of lords shall show in his times.

¹⁶ Which alone hath undeadliness [The which alone hath immortality], and dwelleth in light, to which light no man may come; whom no man saw, neither may see; to whom glory, and honour, and empire be without end [to whom glory, and honour, and empire into without end]. Amen.
