Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
8 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world; Who has set Your Glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of children and infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies; that You might cease the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I behold Your heavens, the works of Your fingers; the moon and the stars which You have ordained,
4 what is man that You are mindful of him; and the son of man that You seek him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than God and crowned him with glory and worship.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands. You have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen; indeed, and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air and the fish of the sea; that which passes through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world! To him who excels upon Muth Labben: A Psalm of David.
11 And in those days, when Moses was grown, he went forth to his brothers and observed their burdens. He also saw an Egyptian striking one of his Hebrew brothers.
12 And he looked around. And when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 Again, he came forth the next day. And behold, two Hebrews fought. And he said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your friend?”
14 And he answered, “Who made you a man of authority, and a judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses feared and said, “Certainly this thing is known.”
15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter and sought to kill Moses. Therefore, Moses fled from Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well.
33 O the depth of the riches of both the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who was His counselor?
35 Or who has given to Him first, that he shall be recompensed?
36 For of Him, and through Him, and for Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen.
