Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

112 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

² His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

³ Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

⁴ Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

⁵ It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

⁶ For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

⁸ His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

⁹ He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

¹⁰ The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

⁶ A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes.

⁷ A fool's mouth is destruction to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

⁸ The words of a talebearer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

⁹ He also who is indolent in his work is brother of the destroyer.

¹⁰ The name of Jehovah is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

¹¹ The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own imagination.

¹² Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour [goeth] humility.

⁷ But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;

⁸ but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

⁹ hospitable one to another, without murmuring;

¹⁰ each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various grace of God.

¹¹ If any one speak—as oracles of God; if any one minister—as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen.
