Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

99 The LORD reigns! Let the people tremble. He sits between the Cherubims. Let the Earth be moved!

² The LORD is great in Zion; and He is high above all the people.

³ They shall praise Your great and fearful Name (It is Holy).

⁴ Also, the King’s power loves judgment. You establish equity. You have executed judgment and justice in Jacob.

⁵ Exalt the LORD our God and bow down before His footstool. He is Holy.

⁶ Moses and Aaron were among His Priests, and Samuel among such as call upon His Name. These called upon the LORD and He heard them.

⁷ He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar. They kept His testimonies, the Law which He gave them.

⁸ You heard them, O LORD our God. You were a favorable God to them, though You took vengeance for their evil deeds.

⁹ Exalt the LORD our God and bow down before His Holy Mountain; for the LORD our God is Holy. A Psalm of praise

⁷ Then Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and called it “Ohel-Moed”, or the “Tabernacle of the Congregation”. And when anyone sought the LORD, he went out to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was outside the camp.

⁸ And when Moses went out to the Tabernacle, all the people rose up. And every man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the Tabernacle.

⁹ And as soon as Moses had entered into the Tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the Tabernacle. And the LORD talked with Moses.

¹⁰ Now, when all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the Tabernacle door, all the people rose up and worshipped (every man in his tent door).

¹¹ And the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Afterward, he turned back toward the camp. But his servant, a young man named Joshua, the son of Nun, did not depart from the Tabernacle.

⁹ I wrote to the church. But Diotrephes (who loves to have the pre-eminence among them) will not receive us.

¹⁰ Therefore, if I come, I will remind you of his deeds which he does - prattling against us with malicious words - and not content with this, he not only does not receive the brothers himself, but forbids those who would and thrusts them out of the church.

¹¹ Beloved, do not follow that which is evil, but that which is good. The one who does well is of God. But the one who does evil has not seen God.

¹² Demetrius has good report of all, and of the truth itself. Indeed, and we ourselves bear witness. And you know that our witness is true.
