Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
31 In You, O LORD, have I put my trust. Let me never be confounded. Deliver me in Your righteousness.
2 Bow down Your ear to me. Make haste to deliver me. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress. Therefore, direct me and guide me for Your Name’s sake.
4 Draw me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me. For You are my strength.
5 Into Your hand I commend My spirit. For You have redeemed me, O LORD God of Truth.
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You; and done to those who trust in You before the sons of men!
20 You hide them from the pride of men in the secret place of Your presence. You keep them secretly in Your Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD. For He has shown His marvelous kindness toward me in a strong city.
22 Though I said in my haste, “I am cast out of Your sight!” Still, You heard the voice of my prayer when I cried to You.
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful and abundantly repays the proud.
24 All you who trust in the LORD, be strong; and He shall establish your heart. A Psalm of David, to give instruction.
24 Now, he had said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. And you shall worship at a distance.
2 “And Moses, by himself, shall come near to the LORD. But they shall not come near, nor shall the people go up with him.”
3 Afterward, Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the Laws. And all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the things which the LORD has said, we will do.”
4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early, and set up an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings of oxen, and sacrificed peace offerings to the LORD.
6 Then, Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins; and he sprinkled half of the blood on the altar.
7 Afterward, he took the Book of the Covenant, and read it in the audience of the people, who said, “All that the LORD has said, we will do, and be obedient.”
8 Then, Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold, the blood of the Covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these things.”
17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and glory in God.
18 And you know His will, and test the things which dissent from it, being instructed by the Law.
19 And you persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 an instructor of those who lack discretion; a teacher of the unlearned, who has the semblance of knowledge and truth in the Law.
21 You therefore, who teaches another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
22 You who say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23 You who glory in the Law, through breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?
24 For “the Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you”, as it is written.
25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the Law. But if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore, if the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 And shall not the naturally uncircumcised (if he keeps the Law) condemn those who, being under the letter and circumcision, are transgressors of the Law?
28 For no one is a Jew outwardly. Nor is circumcision outward, in the flesh.
29 But he is a Jew who is one within. And circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit (not in the letter) whose praise is not from man, but from God.
