Psalm 50:1-6

Psalm 50[a]

A psalm by Asaph.

50 El, God, the Lord[b] has spoken,
and summoned the earth to come from the east and west.[c]
From Zion, the most beautiful of all places,[d]
God has come in splendor.[e]
“May our God come
and not be silent.”
Consuming fire goes ahead of him,
and all around him a storm rages.[f]
He summons the heavens above,
as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.[g]
He says:[h]
“Assemble my covenant people before me,[i]
those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice.”[j]
The heavens declare his fairness,[k]
for God is judge.[l] (Selah)

1 Kings 11:26-40

26 Jeroboam son of Nebat, one of Solomon’s servants, rebelled against[a] the king. He was an Ephraimite[b] from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. 27 This is what prompted him to rebel against the king:[c] Solomon built a terrace, and he closed up a gap in the wall of the city of his father David.[d] 28 Jeroboam was a talented man;[e] when Solomon saw that the young man was an accomplished worker, he made him the leader of the work crew from the tribe[f] of Joseph. 29 At that time, when Jeroboam had left Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the road; the two of them were alone in the open country. Ahijah[g] was wearing a brand new robe, 30 and he grabbed the robe[h] and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 Then he told Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces, for this is what the Lord God of Israel has said: ‘Look, I am about to tear the kingdom from Solomon’s hand and I will give ten tribes to you. 32 He will retain one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel. 33 I am taking the kingdom from him[i] because they have[j] abandoned me and worshiped the Sidonian goddess Astarte, the Moabite god Chemosh, and the Ammonite god Milcom. They have not followed my instructions[k] by doing what I approve and obeying my rules and regulations, as Solomon’s father David did.[l] 34 I will not take the whole kingdom from his hand. I will allow him to be ruler for the rest of his life for the sake of my chosen servant David who kept my commandments and rules. 35 I will take the kingdom from the hand of his son and give ten tribes to you.[m] 36 I will leave[n] his son one tribe so my servant David’s dynasty may continue to serve me[o] in Jerusalem, the city I have chosen as my home.[p] 37 I will select[q] you; you will rule over all you desire to have and you will be king over Israel. 38 You must obey[r] all I command you to do, follow my instructions,[s] do what I approve,[t] and keep my rules and commandments, as my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David;[u] I will give you Israel. 39 I will humiliate David’s descendants because of this,[v] but not forever.’”[w] 40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam escaped to Egypt and found refuge with King Shishak of Egypt.[x] He stayed in Egypt until Solomon died.

2 Corinthians 2:12-17

12 Now when I arrived in Troas[a] to proclaim the gospel of Christ, even though the Lord had opened[b] a door of opportunity[c] for me, 13 I had no relief in my spirit,[d] because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them[e] and set out[f] for Macedonia.

Apostolic Ministry

14 But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession[g] in Christ[h] and who makes known[i] through us the fragrance that consists of the knowledge of him in every place. 15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing— 16 to the latter an odor[j] from death to death, but to the former a fragrance from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?[k] 17 For we are not like so many others, hucksters who peddle the word of God for profit,[l] but we are speaking in Christ before[m] God as persons of sincerity,[n] as persons sent from God.
