Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

13 How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

³ Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

⁴ Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

⁵ As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

⁶ I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.

¹⁸ Who is a God like unto thee, that forgiveth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in loving-kindness.

¹⁹ He will yet again have compassion on us, he will tread under foot our iniquities: and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

²⁰ Thou wilt perform truth to Jacob, loving-kindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers, from the days of old.

² Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

³ And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

⁴ Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

⁵ For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
