Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

93 The Lord reigneth; He is clothed with majesty. The Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith He hath girded Himself. The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

² Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting.

³ The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

⁴ The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

⁵ Thy testimonies are very sure; holiness becometh Thine house, O Lord, for ever.

²⁰ Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

²¹ “Son of man, set thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against it

²² and say, ‘Thus saith the Lord God: “‘Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have executed judgments in her and shall be sanctified in her.

²³ For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

²⁴ And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all who are round about them, who despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord God.

²⁵ “‘Thus saith the Lord God: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to My servant Jacob.

²⁶ And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.’”

²⁰ But now Christ is risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of those who slept.

²¹ For since by man came death, by Man came also the resurrection of the dead.

²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive;

²³ but every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

²⁴ Then cometh the end when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, when He shall have put down all rule, and all authority and power.

²⁵ For He must reign until He hath put all enemies under His feet.

²⁶ The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death,

²⁷ for “He hath put all things under His feet.” But when He saith “all things” are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, who did put all things under Him.

²⁸ And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son Himself also be subject unto Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
