Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

116 I love that Adonai heard
my voice when I prayed;
² because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

³ The cords of death were all around me,
Sh’ol’s constrictions held me fast;
I was finding only distress and anguish.
⁴ But I called on the name of Adonai:
“Please, Adonai! Save me!”

¹² How can I repay Adonai
for all his generous dealings with me?
¹³ I will raise the cup of salvation
and call on the name of Adonai.
¹⁴ I will pay my vows to Adonai
in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵ From Adonai’s point of view,
the death of those faithful to him is costly.
¹⁶ Oh, Adonai! I am your slave;
I am your slave, the son of your slave-girl;
you have removed my fetters.
¹⁷ I will offer a sacrifice of thanks to you
    and will call on the name of Adonai.
¹⁸ I will pay my vows to Adonai
in the presence of all his people,
¹⁹ in the courtyards of Adonai’s house,
there in your very heart, Yerushalayim.

Halleluyah!

⁶ On this mountain Adonai-Tzva’ot
will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food and superb wines,
delicious, rich food and superb, elegant wines.
⁷ On this mountain he will destroy
the veil which covers the face of all peoples,
the veil enshrouding all the nations.
⁸ He will swallow up death forever.
Adonai Elohim will wipe away
the tears from every face,
and he will remove from all the earth
the disgrace his people suffer.
For Adonai has spoken.

⁹ On that day they will say,
“See! This is our God!
We waited for him to save us.
This is Adonai ; we put our hope in him.
We are full of joy, so glad he saved us!”
