Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
76 God is known in Judah. His Name is great in Israel.
2 For in Salem is His Tabernacle; and His dwelling is in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are brighter and more excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stout-hearted are spoiled. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of strength have not found their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast dead asleep.
7 You. You are to be feared. And who shall stand in Your sight when You are angry!
8 You caused judgment to be heard from Heaven. The Earth feared, and was still,
9 when You, O God, rose to judgment to help all the meek of the Earth. Selah.
10 Surely, the rage of man shall turn to Your praise; the remnant of the rage You shall restrain.
11 Vow and perform to the LORD your God, all you who surround Him; let them bring presents to Him Who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is feared by the kings of the Earth. For the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm committed to Asaph
19 “After this, I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was so unlike all the others - very fearful - whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue under his feet;
20 “Also to know of the ten horns that were on his head, and of the others which came up (before whom three fell), and of the horn that had eyes, and of the mouth that spoke presumptuous things; whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 “I beheld, and the same horn made battle against the Saints; yea, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of Days came. And judgment was given to the Saints of the most High. And the time approached for the Saints to possess the kingdom.
23 “Then he said, ‘The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall be unlike all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth. And shall tread it down and break it in pieces.
24 ‘And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall rise. And another shall rise after them. And he shall be unlike the first. And he shall subdue three kings;
25 ‘And shall speak words against the most High, and shall consume the Saints of the most High, and think that he may change times and laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
26 ‘But the judges shall sit. And they shall take away his dominion to consume and destroy it to the end.
27 ‘And the kingdom, and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And all powers shall serve and obey him.’
11 Then was given to me a reed, like a rod. And the angel stood by, saying, “Rise and measure the Temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship therein.
2 “But do not include the court which is outside the Temple. For it is given to the Gentiles. And they shall tread upon the holy city for 42 months.
3 “But I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are two olive trees, and two candlesticks, standing before the God of the Earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouths and devours their enemies. For if anyone would hurt them, thus must he be killed.
6 These have power to shut Heaven, so that it does not rain in the days of their prophesying; and have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the Earth with all kinds of plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them and kill them,
8 And their corpses shall lie in the streets of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt (where our Lord was also crucified).
9 And those of the people and tribes and tongues, and Gentiles, shall see their corpses for three and a half days, and shall not allow their carcasses to be put in graves.
10 And those who dwell upon the Earth shall rejoice over them and be glad and shall send gifts to one another. For these two Prophets tormented those who dwelt on the Earth.
11 But after three and a half days, the Spirit of Life, coming from God, shall enter into them. And they shall stand up upon their feet. And great fear shall come upon those who saw them.
12 And they shall hear a great voice from Heaven, saying to them, “Come up here!” And they shall ascend to Heaven in a cloud. And their enemies shall see them.
13 And the same hour there shall be a great earthquake. And a tenth of the city shall fall. And in the earthquake, seven thousand shall be slain. And the remnant was very afraid and gave glory to the God of Heaven.
14 The second woe is past! And behold, the third woe will come soon!
