Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

86 A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

² Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

³ Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

⁴ Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

⁵ For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

⁶ Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷ In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

⁸ There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

⁹ All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

¹⁰ For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.

⁴³ And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, `This [is] a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;

⁴⁴ and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him -- then he doth eat of it;

⁴⁵ a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;

⁴⁶ in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house [any] of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;

⁴⁷ all the company of Israel do keep it.

⁴⁸ `And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his [is] to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;

⁴⁹ one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'

⁵ For not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which we speak,

⁶ and one in a certain place did testify fully, saying, `What is man, that Thou art mindful of him, or a son of man, that Thou dost look after him?

⁷ Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands,

⁸ all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,' for in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things subjected to him,

⁹ and him who was made some little less than messengers we see -- Jesus -- because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.
