Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
12 But You, O LORD, remain forever, and Your remembrance from generation to generation.
13 You will arise and have mercy upon Zion. For the time to have mercy thereon, for the appointed time, has come.
14 For Your servants, delight in the stones thereof and have pity on the dust thereof.
15 Then the heathen shall fear the Name of the LORD, and all the kings of the Earth Your Glory,
16 when the LORD shall build up Zion and shall appear in His Glory
17 and shall turn to the prayer of the desolate and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and the people who shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 For He has looked down from the height of His Sanctuary. Out of the heaven did the LORD behold the Earth,
20 so that He might hear the mourning of the prisoner and deliver the children of death;
21 so that they may declare the Name of the LORD in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem
22 when the people shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 He weakened my strength on the way and shortened my days.
24 I said, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days. Your years endure from generation to generation.
25 “Before time, You have laid the foundation of the Earth; and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 “They shall perish, but You shall endure. Indeed, they shall all wear out like a garment. You shall change them like clothing, and they shall be changed.
27 But You are the same; and Your years shall not fail.
28 The children of Your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established in Your sight. A Psalm of David
6 But Job answered and said,
2 “Oh that my grief was well-weighed, and that my miseries were laid with it on the scale!
3 “For it would now be heavier than the sand of the sea. Therefore, my words have been rash.
4 “For the arrows of the Almighty are in me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God fight against me.
5 “Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox bellow when he has fodder?
6 “That which is unsavory, shall it be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 “Such things my soul refused to touch, like food that made me ill.
8 “Oh that I might have my desire, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for:
9 “that is, that God would destroy me, that He would let His Hand go and cut me off.
10 “Then I would still have comfort (though I burn with sorrow, Him not sparing) because I have not denied the Words of the Holy One.
11 “What strength do I have, that I should hope? Or what is my end if I should prolong my life?
12 “Is my strength the strength of stones? Is my flesh of bronze?
13 “Is it not so, that there is no help in me, and that strength is taken from me?
7 But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude followed Him from Galilee, and from Judea,
8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond Jordan. And those who dwelt around Tyre and Sidon - when they had heard what great things He did - came to Him in great number.
9 And He commanded His disciples that a little ship should wait for Him because of the multitude, lest they should overwhelm Him.
10 For He had healed many; so much so that they pressed upon Him to touch Him, as many as had plagues.
11 And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him, and cried, saying, “You are the Son of God!”
12 And He sharply rebuked them, that they should not tell Who He was.
