Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
ו Waw
41 May your unfailing love(A) come to me, Lord,
your salvation, according to your promise;(B)
42 then I can answer(C) anyone who taunts me,(D)
for I trust in your word.
43 Never take your word of truth from my mouth,(E)
for I have put my hope(F) in your laws.
44 I will always obey your law,(G)
for ever and ever.
45 I will walk about in freedom,
for I have sought out your precepts.(H)
46 I will speak of your statutes before kings(I)
and will not be put to shame,(J)
47 for I delight(K) in your commands
because I love them.(L)
48 I reach out for your commands, which I love,
that I may meditate(M) on your decrees.
8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[a](A) you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism,(B) you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.(C) 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles(D) at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.(E) 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[b](F) also said, “You shall not murder.”[c](G) If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged(H) by the law that gives freedom,(I) 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful.(J) Mercy triumphs over judgment.
