Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
148 Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise Him in the high places!
2 Praise Him, all His angels! Praise Him, all His army!
3 Praise Him, Sun and Moon! Praise Him, all bright stars!
4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
6 And He has established them forever and ever. He has made an ordinance which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the Earth, you dragons and all depths:
8 fire and hail, snow and vapors, stormy wind — which execute His Word —
9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees, and all cedars,10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and feathered birds,
11 kings of the Earth and all people, princes and all judges of the world,
12 young men and maidens, also old men and children.
13 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for only His Name is to be exalted. His praise is above the Earth and the heavens.
14 For He has exalted the horn of His people — a praise for all His saints, for the children of Israel — a people that is near to Him. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD.
18 Again he said, “I beg You, show me Your Glory.”
19 And He answered, “I will make all My goodness go before you. And I will proclaim the Name of the LORD before you. For I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy and will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
20 Furthermore, He said, “You cannot see My face. For no man shall see Me there and live.”
21 Also, the LORD said, “Behold, a place by Me. And you shall stand upon the rock.
22 “And while My Glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.
23 “Afterward, I will take away My hand and you shall see the back of Me. But My face shall not be seen.”
1 That Which was from the beginning, Which we have heard, Which we have seen with our eyes, Which we have looked upon and these hands of ours have handled concerning the Word of Life
2 (for that Life was revealed, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show to you that eternal Life Who was with the Father and was revealed to us);
3 that Which we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you may also have fellowship with us and that our fellowship may also be with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 And these things I write to you so that your joy may be full.
5 This, then, is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you: that God is light. And no darkness is in Him.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not truly.
7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another. And the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. And truth is not in us.
9 If we acknowledge our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
