Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

105 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.

² Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.

³ Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

⁴ Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;

⁵ Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:

⁶ Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

⁷ He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

⁸ He is ever mindful of his covenant,—the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,—

⁹ Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

¹⁰ And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,

¹¹ Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

³⁷ And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes.

³⁸ Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

³⁹ He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰ They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹ He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.

⁴² For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;

⁴³ And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;

⁴⁴ And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:

⁴⁵ That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!

1 And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' attendant, saying,

² Moses my servant is dead; and now, rise up, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land which I give unto them, to the children of Israel.

³ Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread have I given to you, as I said unto Moses.

⁴ From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river, the river Euphrates, the whole land of the Hittites, to the great sea, toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

⁵ None shall be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee; I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.

⁶ Be strong and courageous, for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn unto their fathers to give them.

⁷ Only be strong and very courageous, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

⁸ This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways, and then shalt thou prosper.

⁹ Have I not commanded thee: Be strong and courageous? Be not afraid, neither be dismayed; for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

¹⁰ And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

¹¹ Go through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare yourselves victuals, for in three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, that ye may enter in to take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.

3 Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,

² and sent Timotheus, our brother and fellow-workman under God in the glad tidings of Christ, to confirm you and encourage [you] concerning your faith,

³ that no one might be moved by these afflictions. (For yourselves know that we are set for this;

⁴ for also, when we were with you, we told you beforehand we are about to be in tribulation, even as also it came to pass, and ye know.)

⁵ For this reason *I* also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing.
