Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Sing of the Lovingkindness of Yahweh Forever
A [a]Maskil of [b]Ethan [c]the Ezrahite.
89 I will (A)sing of the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh forever;
From generation to generation I will (B)make known Your (C)faithfulness with my mouth.
2 For I have said, “(D)Lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens You will establish Your (E)faithfulness.”
3 “I have cut a covenant with (F)My chosen;
I have (G)sworn to David My [d]servant,
4 I will establish your (H)seed forever
And build up your (I)throne from generation to generation.” [e]Selah.
15 How blessed are the people who know the (A)loud shout of joy!
O Yahweh, they walk in the (B)light of Your face.
16 In (C)Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the beauty of (D)their strength,
And by Your favor [a]our (E)horn is exalted.
18 For our (F)shield belongs to Yahweh,
[b]And our king to the (G)Holy One of Israel.
Seventy Years of Captivity
25 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the (A)fourth year of (B)Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (that was the (C)first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), 2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the (D)people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 3 “From the (E)thirteenth year of (F)Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, [a]these (G)twenty-three years the word of Yahweh has come to me, and I have spoken to you, [b](H)rising up early and speaking, but you have not listened. 4 And Yahweh has sent to you all His (I)slaves the prophets, rising up early and sending, but you have not listened nor inclined your ear to hear, 5 saying, ‘(J)Turn now everyone from his evil way and from the evil of your deeds, and live on the ground which Yahweh has given to you and your fathers (K)forever and ever; 6 and (L)do not walk after other gods to [c]serve them and to [d]worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I will bring no evil against you.’ 7 Yet you have not listened to Me,” declares Yahweh, “in order that you might (M)provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands to your own evil demise.
2 Behold I, (A)Paul, say to you that if you receive (B)circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I (C)testify again to every man who receives (D)circumcision, that he is under obligation to (E)keep the whole Law. 4 You have been [a]severed from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have (F)fallen from grace! 5 For we [b]through the Spirit, [c]by faith, are (G)eagerly waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in (H)Christ Jesus (I)neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but (J)faith working through love.
