Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

93 The LORD reigns and is clothed with majesty. The LORD is clothed and girded with power. Also, the world shall be established, so that it cannot be moved.

² Your throne is established of old. You are from everlasting.

³ The floods have lifted up, O LORD. The floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

⁴ The waves of the sea are marvelous through the noise of many waters. The LORD on High is more mighty.

⁵ Your testimonies are very sure. Holiness becomes Your House, O LORD, forever.

11 “Therefore, you shall love the LORD your God and shall keep that which He Commands to be kept—His Ordinances and His Laws and His Commandments, always—

² “but not your children, who have neither known nor seen the chastisements of the LORD your God, His greatness, His mighty Hand, and His outstretched Arm,

³ “and His signs, and His acts which He did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land.

⁴ “Nor do they do know what He did to the army of the Egyptians, to their horses, and to their chariots, when He caused the waters of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you. And the LORD destroyed them to this day.

⁵ “Nor do they do know what He did for you in the wilderness, until you came to this place,

⁶ “and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, when the Earth opened her mouth and swallowed them with their households and their tents and all their substance that they had, in the midst of all Israel.

⁷ “For your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which He did:

⁸ ‘Therefore, you shall keep all the Commandments which I command you this day, so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land where you go to possess it,

⁹ ‘and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to give to them and to their seed, a land that flows with milk and honey.

¹⁰ ‘For the land where you go to possess is not as the land of Egypt from where you came, where you sowed your seed and watered with your feet, as a garden of herbs.

¹¹ ‘But the land where you go to possess, a land of mountains and valleys, drinks water from the rain of Heaven.

¹² ‘This land is cared for by the LORD your God. The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

¹³ ‘If you shall obey, therefore, My Commandments which I command you this day — that you love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul —

¹⁴ ‘I will also give rain to your land in due time — the first rain to the last — so that you may gather in your wheat and your wine and your oil.

¹⁵ ‘I will also send grass in your fields for your cattle, so that you may eat and have enough.’

¹⁶ “Beware, lest your heart deceives you, and lest you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,

¹⁷ “and the anger of the LORD is kindled against you, and He shuts up the heaven, so that there is no rain, and so that your land does not yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the good land which the LORD gives you.

¹³ I charge you in the sight of God Who quickens all things, and before Jesus Christ Who witnessed a good confession under Pontius Pilate,

¹⁴ that you keep this commandment spotless and irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁵ which He Who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, shall show in due time.

¹⁶ He alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, Whom no man ever saw nor can see, and to whom be honor and power everlasting, Amen.
