Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
The Lord Gives Dominion to the King.
A Psalm of David.
110 (A)The Lord says to my Lord:
“(B)Sit at My right hand
Until I make (C)Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
2 The Lord will stretch out Your strong (D)scepter from Zion, saying,
“(E)Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”
3 Your (F)people [a]will volunteer freely on the day of Your [b]power;
(G)In [c]holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,
[d]Your youth are to You as the (H)dew.
4 (I)The Lord has sworn and will (J)not [e]change His mind,
“You are a (K)priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is (L)at Your right hand;
He [f]will (M)shatter kings in the (N)day of His wrath.
6 He will (O)judge among the nations,
He [g]will fill them with (P)corpses,
He [h]will (Q)shatter the [i]chief men over a broad country.
7 He will (R)drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will (S)lift up His head.
22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “(A)Every son who is born, [a]you are to throw into (B)the Nile, but every daughter, you are to keep alive.”
The Birth of Moses
2 Now a man from (C)the house of Levi went and [b]married a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived and gave birth to a son; and when she saw [c]that he was [d](D)beautiful, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a (E)papyrus [e]basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put the child in it and set it among the (F)reeds by the bank of the Nile. 4 (G)And his sister stood at a distance to [f]find out what would [g]happen to him.
5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down (H)to bathe at the Nile, with her female attendants walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the [h]basket among the reeds and sent her slave woman, and she brought it to her. 6 When she opened it, she [i]saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a woman for you who is nursing from the Hebrew women, so that she may nurse the child for you?” 8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go ahead.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. 9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter and (I)he became her son. And she named him [j]Moses, and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
23 By faith (A)Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the (B)king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, (C)when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to (D)endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin, 26 (E)considering the [a]reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the (F)reward.
