Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
72 Give Your judgments to the King, O God, and Your righteousness to the King’s Son.
2 He shall judge Your people in righteousness, and Your poor with equity.
3 The mountains and the hills shall bring peace to the people by justice.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people. He shall save the children of the needy and shall subdue the oppressor.
5 They shall fear You as long as the Sun and Moon endure, from generation to generation.
6 He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass, as the showers that water the Earth.
7 In His days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace shall be so long as the Moon endures.
8 Also, His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the land.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before Him; and His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish, and of the isles, shall bring presents. The kings of Sheba, and Seba, shall bring gifts.
11 Indeed, all kings shall worship Him. All nations shall serve Him.
12 For He shall deliver the poor when He cries, the needy also, and he who has no helper.
13 He shall be merciful to the poor and needy and shall preserve the souls of the poor.
14 He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence, and their blood shall be dear in His sight.
15 Indeed, He shall live; and to Him shall they give of the gold of Sheba. Also, they shall pray for Him continually and daily bless Him.
16 A handful of grain shall be sown in the Earth, in the top of the mountains. The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and the children out of the city shall flourish like the grass of the Earth.
17 His name shall be forever. His name shall endure as long as the Sun. All nations shall bless Him and be blessed in Him.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be His glorious Name forever. And let all the Earth be filled with His Glory. So be it, even so be it.
20 Here ends the prayers of David, the son of Jesse. A Psalm committed to Asaph
3 When Moses kept the sheep of Jethro, his father-in-law, priest of Midian, (and drove the flock to the back side of the desert, and came to the Mountain of God, Horeb),
2 then the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of a bush. And he looked. And behold, the bush burned with fire; and the bush was not consumed.
3 Therefore, Moses said, “I will turn aside, now, and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses. Moses.” And he answered, “I am here.”
5 Then he said, “Do not come here. Take off your shoes, for the place whereon you stand is Holy ground.”
23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child. Nor did they fear the king’s commandment.
24 By faith, Moses, when he had come to age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter
25 and chose to suffer adversity with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.
26 He esteemed the rebuke of Christ to be greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he looked toward the reward.
27 By faith, he left Egypt and did not fear the fierceness of the king. For he endured, as he who saw Him Who is invisible.
28 Through faith, he ordained the Passover and the effusion of blood, so that He who destroyed the first born would not touch them.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land (in which the Egyptians, when they had tried to do so, were swallowed up).
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down after they were surrounded for seven days.
31 By faith, the prostitute Rahab, when she had received the spies peaceably, did not perish with those who disobeyed.
