Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
A Song of degrees of David.
1 ¶ LORD, my heart has not become haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither have I walked in grandeur, nor in wonderful things above and beyond that which pertains to me.
2 Rather I have quieted myself and caused my soul to become silent, that I might be as a child that is weaned of his mother, as one who is weaned from my own life.
3 Let Israel wait for the LORD from now on and for ever.
22 ¶ Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but the workers of the truth are his delight.
23 ¶ The sane man conceals his wisdom: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24 ¶ The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the negligent shall be under tribute.
25 ¶ Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad.
26 ¶ The righteous causes his neighbour to consider: but the way of the wicked causes them to err.
27 ¶ The deceitful man does not even roast that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 ¶ In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort when I know your state.
20 For I have no one likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Therefore, I hope to send him presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
