Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

130 Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

² If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

³ Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

³⁴ And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, he was angry and swore, and said:

³⁵ Not one of the men of this wicked generation shall see the good land, which I promised with an oath to your fathers:

³⁶ Except Caleb the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord.

³⁷ Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither.

³⁸ But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel.

³⁹ Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it.

⁴⁰ But return you and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

5 For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

² For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.

³ Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.

⁴ For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

⁵ Now he that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit.
