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.
19 Formerly You spoke in vision to Your [a]holy [b]ones,
And said, “I have bestowed help to a (A)mighty one;
I have exalted one (B)chosen from the people.
20 I have (C)found David My [c]servant;
With My holy (D)oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom (E)My hand will be established;
My arm also will (F)strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not [d]deceive him,
Nor the [e](G)son of unrighteousness afflict him.
23 But I shall (H)crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
24 My (I)faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him,
And in My name his (J)horn will be exalted.
25 I shall also set his hand (K)on the sea
And his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call to Me, ‘You are (L)my Father,
My God, and the (M)rock of my salvation.’
12 Then it was told to King David, saying, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.” So (A)David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into (B)the city of David with gladness. 13 And so it happened, that when those (C)who were carrying the ark of Yahweh had gone six paces, he sacrificed an (D)ox and a fatling. 14 And (E)David was dancing before Yahweh with all his strength, and David was (F)girded with a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of Yahweh with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
David Dances Before Yahweh
16 Then it happened as the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, that (G)Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of Yahweh and placed it (H)in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and (I)David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh. 18 Then David completed offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings. And (J)he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts. 19 And he apportioned to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people went each to his house.
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say,
“(A)You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again,
“(B)I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?
6 And [a]when He again (C)brings the firstborn into [b](D)the world, He says,
“(E)And let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says,
“(F)Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministers flaming fire.”
8 But of the Son He says,
“(G)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of [c]Your kingdom.
9 (H)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
(I)Therefore God, Your God, has (J)anointed You
With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”
10 And,
“(K)You, Lord, in the beginning founded the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 (L)They will perish, but You remain;
(M)And they all will wear out like a garment,
12 (N)And like a mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are (O)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,
14 Are they not all (R)ministering spirits, sent to render service for the sake of those who will (S)inherit (T)salvation?
