Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

111 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

² Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

³ Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

⁴ A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

⁵ Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

⁶ The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

⁷ The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.

⁸ They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

⁹ Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.

¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!

24 And unto Moses He said, `Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;'

² and Moses hath drawn nigh by himself unto Jehovah; and they draw not nigh, and the people go not up with him.

³ And Moses cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people answer -- one voice, and say, `All the words which Jehovah hath spoken we do.'

⁴ And Moses writeth all the words of Jehovah, and riseth early in the morning, and buildeth an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;

⁵ and he sendeth the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah -- calves.

⁶ And Moses taketh half of the blood, and putteth in basins, and half of the blood hath he sprinkled on the altar;

⁷ and he taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in the ears of the people, and they say, `All that which Jehovah hath spoken we do, and obey.'

⁸ And Moses taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people, and saith, `Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you, concerning all these things.'

⁹ And Moses goeth up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

¹⁰ and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the white work of the sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;

¹¹ and unto those of the sons of Israel who are near He hath not put forth His hand, and they see God, and eat and drink.

²² Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,

²³ and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,

²⁴ when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.

²⁵ And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

²⁶ for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem;

²⁷ for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

²⁸ This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

²⁹ and I have known that coming unto you -- in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.

³⁰ And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,

³¹ that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;

³² that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

³³ and the God of the peace [be] with you all. Amen.
