Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

81 To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

² Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.

³ Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

⁴ For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

⁵ A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear.

⁶ From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.

⁷ In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁸ Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:

⁹ There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.

¹⁰ I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

⁵ `And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,

⁶ and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,

⁷ and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.

⁸ `On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel -- a covenant age-during;

⁹ and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah -- a statute age-during.'

¹⁹ hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'

²⁰ The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'

²¹ Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

²² because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

²³ if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

²⁴ judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.'
