Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Heth
57 Yahweh is my (A)portion;
I have [a]promised to (B)keep Your words.
58 I have (C)sought to please Your face (D)with all my heart;
(E)Be gracious to me (F)according to Your [b]word.
59 I (G)thought upon my ways
And I turned my feet to Your testimonies.
60 I hastened and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
61 The (H)cords of the wicked have encircled me,
But I have (I)not forgotten Your law.
62 At (J)midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your (K)righteous judgments.
63 I am a (L)companion of all those who [c]fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.
64 (M)The earth, O Yahweh, is full of Your lovingkindness;
(N)Teach me Your statutes.
27 (A)Do not withhold good from [a]those to whom it is due,
When it is in your hand to do it.
28 (B)Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When it is there with you.
29 (C)Do not devise [b]harm against your neighbor,
While he lives securely beside you.
30 (D)Do not contend with a man without cause,
If he has dealt you no [c]harm.
31 (E)Do not envy a man of violence
And do not choose any of his ways.
32 For the (F)devious one is an abomination to Yahweh;
But His (G)secret council is with the upright.
33 The (H)curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked one,
But He (I)blesses the abode of the righteous.
34 Though (J)He scoffs at the scoffers,
Yet (K)He gives grace to the humble.
35 (L)The wise will inherit glory,
But [d]fools raise up disgrace.
The Rich Young Ruler
18 (A)And a ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments, ‘(B)Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’” 21 And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.” 22 And when Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack: (C)sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have (D)treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.” 23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. 24 And Jesus looked at him and said, “(E)How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For (F)it is easier for a camel to [a]go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” 27 But He said, “(G)The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.”
28 And Peter said, “Behold, (H)we have left all that is our own and followed You.” 29 And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, (I)there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive many times more at this time and in (J)the age to come, eternal life.”
