Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
69 Save me, O God, for the waters have entered even to my soul.
2 I sink in the deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, and the streams run over me.
3 I am weary from crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
13 But LORD, I make my prayer to You in an acceptable time, in the multitude of Your mercy. O God, hear me in the truth of Your salvation.
14 Deliver me out of the mire, so that I do not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Do not let the flood water drown me or let the deep swallow me up; and do not let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good! Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song and magnify Him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the LORD better than a young bullock that has horns and hoofs.
32 The humble shall see this; and those who seek God shall be glad; and Your heart shall live.
33 For the LORD hears the poor and does not despise prisoners.
34 Let Heaven and Earth praise Him; the seas and all that moves in them!
35 For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, so that men may dwell there and possess it.
36 Also, the seed of His servants shall inherit it; and those who love His Name shall dwell therein. To him who excels: A Psalm of David, to put in remembrance
11 Then, the whole Earth was of one language and one speech.
2 And as they went from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they stayed there.
3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make brick and burn it in the fire!” So, they had brick for stone; and they had slime instead of mortar.
4 Also, they said, “Go to! Let us build a city and a tower. Whose top may reach to the sky, so that we may get a name, lest we be scattered upon the whole Earth.”
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and tower which the sons of men built.
6 And the LORD said, “Behold, the people are one; and they all have one language. And this they begin to do; nor can they now be stopped from whatever they have imagined to do.
7 “Come on. Let us go down there and confound their language, so that no one perceives another’s speech.”
8 So the LORD scattered them from there upon all the Earth; and they stopped building the city.
9 Therefore, the name of it was called Babel, because there the LORD confounded the language of all the Earth. Then, from there the LORD scattered them upon all the Earth.
13 “Enter in at the strait gate. For it is the wide gate and broad way that leads to destruction. And many go in there.
14 “Because the gate is strait and the way narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
15 “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing; but inwardly, they are ravening wolves.
16 “You shall know them by their fruits. Does man gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 “So every good tree brings forth good fruit, and a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
18 “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 “Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
20 “Therefore, you shall know them by their fruits.
