Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

110 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

² Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

³ His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

⁴ He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

⁵ He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

⁶ He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

⁷ That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

⁸ All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

⁹ He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

²² Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the female, ye shall save alive.

2 After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.

² And she conceived, and bore a son; and seeing him a goodly child hid him three months.

³ And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river's brink,

⁴ His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.

⁵ And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river's brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,

⁶ She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.

⁷ And the child's sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?

⁸ She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.

⁹ And Pharao's daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter.

¹⁰ And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.

²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents; because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter;

²⁵ Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin for a time,

²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.
