Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
93 The LORD reigns and is clothed with majesty. The LORD is clothed and girded with power. Also, the world shall be established, so that it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne is established of old. You are 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 waves of the sea are marvelous through the noise of many waters. The LORD on High is more mighty.
5 Your testimonies are very sure. Holiness becomes Your House, O LORD, forever.
8 Also, God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Behold, I, even I, establish My Covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 “and with every living creature that is with you — with the fowl, with the cattle, and with every beast of the Earth with you — from all that go out of the Ark, to every beast of the Earth.
11 “And I will establish My Covenant with you, so that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by the waters of the Flood; nor shall there be a Flood to destroy the Earth anymore.”
12 Then God said, “This is the sign of the Covenant which I make between Me and you, and between every living thing that is with you, to perpetual generations.
13 “I have set My bow in the cloud; and it shall be for a sign of the Covenant between the Earth and Myself.
14 “And when I shall cover the Earth with a cloud, and the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 “then I will remember My Covenant which is between Me and you, and between every living thing in all flesh. And there shall be no more waters of a Flood to destroy all flesh.
16 “Therefore, the bow shall be in the cloud, so that I may see it and remember the everlasting Covenant between God and every living thing, in all flesh that is upon the Earth.”
17 God also said to Noah, “This is the sign of the Covenant which I have established between all flesh that is upon the Earth and Myself.”
39 And when it was day, they did not recognize the country. But they spied a certain creek with a bank, into which they intended (if possible) to thrust in the ship.
40 So when they had taken up the anchors, they committed to the sea, and released the rudder ropes, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and drew to the shore.
41 And having fallen into a place where two seas met, they thrust in the ship. And the bow stuck fast, and could not be moved. But the stern was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 Then the soldiers planned to kill the prisoners, so that none of them could swim away and escape.
43 But the Centurion (wanting to save Paul) stopped them from carrying out this plan, and commanded that those who could swim should cast themselves into the sea first, and get to land
44 (as well as the others - some on boards, and some on certain pieces of the ship). And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land.
