Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
8 Bless our God, you peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard.(A)
9 He keeps us alive[a]
and does not allow our feet to slip.(B)
10 For you, God, tested us;
you refined us as silver is refined.(C)
11 You lured us into a trap;
you placed burdens on our backs.(D)
12 You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us out to abundance.[b](E)
13 I will enter your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows(F)
14 that my lips promised
and my mouth spoke during my distress.(G)
15 I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings,
with the fragrant smoke of rams;
I will sacrifice bulls with goats.(H)Selah
16 Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.(I)
17 I cried out to him with my mouth,
and praise was on my tongue.(J)
18 If I had been aware of malice in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.(K)
19 However, God has listened;
he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.(L)
20 Blessed be God!
He has not turned away my prayer
or turned his faithful love from me.(M)
13 In the six hundred first year,[a] in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water that had covered the earth was dried up. Then Noah removed the ark’s cover and saw that the surface of the ground was drying. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was dry.
The Lord’s Promise
15 Then God spoke to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, those that crawl on the earth—and they will spread over the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”(A) 18 So Noah, along with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, came out. 19 All the animals, all the creatures that crawl, and all the flying creatures—everything that moves on the earth—came out of the ark by their families.
Jesus’s Gift of Peace
27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.(A) 28 You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away(B) and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father,(C) because the Father is greater than I.(D) 29 I have told you now before it happens(E) so that when it does happen you may believe.
