Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
77 My voice came to God when I cried. My voice came to God and He heard me.
2 On the day of my trouble, I sought the LORD. My hand did not cease in the night. My soul refused comfort.
3 I thought upon God and was troubled. I prayed, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah.
4 You keep my eyes awake. I was astonished and could not speak.
5 I considered the days of old, the years of ancient time.
6 I called to remembrance my song in the night. I communed with my own heart; and my spirit searched diligently.
7 Will the LORD be absent forever? And will He show no more favor?
8 Has His mercy ceased forever? Does His promise fail forevermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has He shut up His tender mercies in displeasure? Selah.
10 And I said, “This is my death.” Yet, I remembered the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11 I remembered the works of the LORD. Certainly, I remembered Your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all Your works and talk of Your acts.
13 Your way, O God, is in the Sanctuary. Who is so great a God as our God!
14 You are the God Who does wonders. You have declared Your power among the people.
15 You have redeemed Your people with Your arm, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw You, O God. The waters saw You and were afraid. Indeed, the depths trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water. The heavens gave a sound. Indeed, Your arrows went all over.
18 The voice of Your thunder was all round. The lightnings lightened the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way is in the sea, Your paths in the great waters; and Your footsteps are not known.
20 You led Your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. A Psalm to give instruction, committed to Asaph
3 Then Joshua rose very early. And they left Shittim and came to the Jordan (he and all the children of Israel) and lodged there before they went over.
2 And after three days, the officers went throughout the camp,
3 and commanded the people, saying, “When you see the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests of the Levites bearing it, you shall depart from your place and go after it.
4 “Still, there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. You shall not come near it, so that you may know the way by which you shall go. For you have not gone this way before.”
5 Now Joshua had said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves! For tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you!
6 Also, Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and go over before the people.” So they took up the Ark of the Covenant, and went before the people.
7 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, which shall know that as I was with Moses so I will be with you.
8 “You shall, therefore, command the priests who bear the Ark of the Covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”
9 Then Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here and hear the Words of the LORD your God!”
10 And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will certainly cast out before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites.
11 “Behold, the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD of all the world passes before you into the Jordan.
12 “Now, therefore, take from among you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, a man out of every tribe.
13 “And as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the Ark of the LORD God, the Lord of all the world, shall stay in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off. For the waters that come from above shall stand still in one heap.”
14 Then, when the people had departed from their tents to go over the Jordan, the priests bearing the Ark of the Covenant went before the people.
15 And as those who bore the Ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the Ark were dipped in the edge of the water (for Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
16 then the waters that came down from above, stayed, rose in one heap, and departed far from the city, to Adam, which was beside Zaretan. But the waters that came down toward the Sea of the Wilderness (the Salt Sea) failed and were cut off. So, the people went right over, near Jericho.
17 But the priests who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, stood firm and dry within the Jordan. And all the Israelites went over, dry, until all the people had completely gone over, through the Jordan.
23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child. Nor did they fear the king’s commandment.
24 By faith, Moses, when he had come to age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter
25 and chose to suffer adversity with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.
26 He esteemed the rebuke of Christ to be greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he looked toward the reward.
27 By faith, he left Egypt and did not fear the fierceness of the king. For he endured, as he who saw Him Who is invisible.
28 Through faith, he ordained the Passover and the effusion of blood, so that He who destroyed the first born would not touch them.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land (in which the Egyptians, when they had tried to do so, were swallowed up).
