Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

96 Sing to Adonai a new song!
Sing to Adonai, all the earth!
² Sing to Adonai, bless his name!
Proclaim his victory day after day!
³ Declare his glory among the nations,
his wonders among all peoples!

⁴ For Adonai is great, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared more than all gods.
⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but Adonai made the heavens.
⁶ In his presence are honor and majesty;
in his sanctuary, strength and splendor.

⁷ Give Adonai his due, you families from the peoples;
give Adonai his due of glory and strength;
⁸ give Adonai the glory due to his name;
bring an offering, and enter his courtyards.
⁹ Worship Adonai in holy splendor;
tremble before him, all the earth!
¹⁰ Say among the nations, “Adonai is king!”
The world is firmly established, immovable.
He will judge the peoples fairly.

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad;
let the sea roar, and everything in it;
¹² let the fields exult and all that is in them.
Then all the trees in the forest will sing
¹³ before Adonai, because he has come,
he has come to judge the earth;
he will judge the world rightly
and the peoples with his faithfulness.

3 For everything there is a season,
a right time for every intention under heaven —
² a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵ a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to discard,
⁷ a time to tear and a time to sew,
a time to keep silent and a time to speak,
⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
