Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

105 Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.

² Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.

³ Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.

⁴ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

⁵ Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

⁷ He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.

⁸ He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁰ And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

¹¹ Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

⁴⁵ That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!

29 And Jacob lifteth up his feet, and goeth towards the land of the sons of the east;

² and he looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well they water the droves, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.

³ (When thither have all the droves been gathered, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)

⁴ And Jacob saith to them, `My brethren, from whence [are] ye?' and they say, `We [are] from Haran.'

⁵ And he saith to them, `Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?' and they say, `We have known.'

⁶ And he saith to them, `Hath he peace?' and they say, `Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.'

⁷ And he saith, `Lo, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go, delight yourselves.'

⁸ And they say, `We are not able, till that all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.'

¹⁴ Not [as] putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

¹⁵ for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;

¹⁶ I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;

¹⁷ because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.

¹⁸ And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up;

¹⁹ but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;

²⁰ for not in word is the reign of God, but in power?
