Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
81 Sing joyfully to God our strength! Sing loud to the God of Jacob!
2 Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the viol.
3 Blow the trumpet on the New Moon, in the time appointed at our Feast day.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, a Law of the God of Jacob.
5 He set this in Joseph for a testimony. When He came out of the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not understand.
6 “I have withdrawn his shoulder from the burden. His hands have left the pots.
7 “You called in affliction and I delivered you, answered you in the secret of the thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 “Hear, O My people, and I will testify to you, O Israel, if you will listen to me
9 “and will have no strange god in you or worship any strange god
10 “(for I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt). Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘The feasts of the LORD which you shall call the Holy Assemblies, these are My Feasts.
3 “Six days work shall be done. But on the seventh day, the Sabbath of Rest, a Holy Convocation. You shall do no work. It is the Sabbath of the LORD, in all your dwellings.
4 “These are the Feasts of the LORD, Holy Convocations which you shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 “In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, at evening , the Passover of the LORD.
6 “And on the fifteenth day of this month, the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7 “On the first day you shall have a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work.
8 “Also, you shall offer sacrifice made by fire to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day shall be a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work.”
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He Who did not spare His own Son - but gave Him up for us all - how shall He not, with Him, also give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s chosen? God is the One who justifies.
34 Who shall condemn? It is Christ, Who died - indeed, or rather, Who is risen again - and Who is also at the right hand of God, interceding for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ; shall tribulation or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written: “For your sake we are killed all day long. We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Nevertheless, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through Him Who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
