Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁵ Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

⁶ Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

⁷ If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:

⁸ Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:

⁹ My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.

¹⁰ But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

¹¹ They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

¹² But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.

¹⁴ Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: let not the day in which my mother bore me, be blessed.

¹⁵ Cursed be the man that brought the tidings to my father, saying: A man child is born to thee: and made him greatly rejoice.

¹⁶ Let that man be as the cities that the Lord hath overthrown, and hath not repented: let him hear a cry in the morning, and howling at noontide:

¹⁷ Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.

¹⁸ Why came I out of the womb, to see labour and sorrow, and that my days should be spent in confusion?

¹³ Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida. For if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgement, than for you.

¹⁵ And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down to hell.

¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
