Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
27 The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked—even my enemies—and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army encamped against me, my heart shall not be afraid. Though war is raised against me, I will trust in this.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that I will require: That I may dwell in the House of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to visit His Temple.
5 For in the time of trouble, He shall hide me in His Tabernacle. In the secret place of His pavilion, He shall hide me and set me up upon a rock.
6 And now, He shall lift up my head above my enemies all around me. Therefore, I will offer sacrifices of joy in His Tabernacle. I will sing and praise the LORD.
7 Hear my voice, O LORD, when I cry. Have mercy, also, upon me and hear me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart answered You, “O LORD, I will seek Your face.”
9 Do not hide, therefore, Your face from me, nor cast Your servant away in displeasure. You have been my succor; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and my mother should forsake me, yet the LORD will gather me up.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me in a right path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not give me to the lust of my adversaries. For there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak cruelly.
13 I should have fainted, except I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Hope in the LORD. Be strong, and He shall comfort Your heart; and trust in the LORD. A Psalm of David.
7 “The way of the just is righteousness, You will make equal the righteous path of the just.
8 “Also, we, O LORD, have waited for You in the way of Your judgments. The desire of our soul is to Your Name and to the remembrance of You.
9 “With my soul have I desired You in the night. And with my spirit within me will I seek You in the morning. For seeing Your judgments on the Earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learn righteousness.
10 “Let mercy be shown to the wicked, he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness, he will do wickedly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 “O LORD, they will not behold Your high Hand. They shall see it and be confounded with the zeal of the people. And the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.
12 “LORD, to us You will ordain peace. For You also have wrought all our works for us.
13 “O LORD our God, lords besides You have ruled us. We will remember You only, Your Name.
14 “The dead shall not live, nor shall the dead arise, because You have visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memory.
15 “You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation. You are made glorious, You have enlarged all the territories of the Earth.
37 Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their hearts, and said to Peter and the other Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 “For the promise is made to you and to your children, and to all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
40 And he testified and exhorted them with many other words, saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse generation!”
41 Then those who gladly received his Word were baptized. And the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued in the Apostles’ doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.
