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
9 “You have also considered the affliction of our fathers in Egypt and heard their cry by the Red Sea,
10 “and showed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land! For You knew that they dealt proudly against them! Therefore, You made Yourself a Name, as it is this day!
11 “For You broke up the Sea before them; and they went through the midst of the Sea on dry land! And You have cast those who pursued into the bottoms, as a stone in the mighty waters,
12 “and led them in the day with a pillar of a cloud, and in the night with a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way that they went!
13 “You also came down upon Mount Sinai and spoke to them from Heaven, and gave them right Judgments, and true Laws, Ordinances and good Commandments,
14 “and declared to them Your holy Sabbath, and commanded them Precepts and Ordinances and Laws, by the hand of Moses Your servant,
15 “and gave them bread from Heaven for their hunger and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst and promised them that they would go in and take possession of the land which You had lifted up Your Hand to give them!
13 Therefore, let us not judge one another anymore. But rather, determine to do this: that no one put a stumbling block, or an occasion to fall, before his brother.
14 I know, and am persuaded through the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean in itself. But to the one who judges something to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if your brother is distressed because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food someone for whom Christ died.
16 Therefore, do not let your good be spoken of as evil.
17 For the kingdom of God is not food or drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For whoever serves Christ in these things, is well-pleasing to God, and is approved by man.
19 Let us then follow those things which concern peace, and with which one may edify another.
20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. Indeed, all things are clean, but evil for the man who eats in offense.
21 It is not good to eat flesh or to drink wine or to do anything whereby your brother stumbles or is offended or made weak.
22 Do you have faith? Have your own before God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself in that thing which he allows.
23 For the one who doubts is condemned if he eats because he does not eat of faith. And whatever is not of faith is sin.
15 We who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let everyone please his neighbor for good toward edification.
