Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
12 Blessed is that nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen for His inheritance.
13 The LORD looks down from Heaven, beholding all the children of men.
14 From the habitation of His dwelling he beholds all those who dwell on the Earth.
15 He fashions their hearts, every one, understanding all their works.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of an army; nor is the mighty man delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain help and shall not deliver by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him, upon those who trust in His mercy
19 to deliver their souls from death and to preserve them in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD. He is our Help and our Shield.
21 Surely, our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we trusted in His Holy Name.
22 Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us. As we trusted in You. A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away and he departed.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the Earth - when they were created, on the day that the LORD God made the Earth and the heavens -
5 and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth; and every plant of the field, before it grew. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, nor was there a man to till the ground,
6 But a mist went up from the Earth; and watered all the Earth.
7 The LORD God also made the man from the dust of the ground and breathed in his face breath of life. And the man was a living soul.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption and is raised in incorruption.
43 It is sown in dishonor and is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness and is raised in power.
44 It is sown a natural body and is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 As it is also written, “The first man, Adam, was made a living soul.” And the last Adam was made a life-giving Spirit.
46 But that which is spiritual was not first; but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the Earth, earthly. The second Man is the Lord from Heaven.
48 As is the earthly, such are those who are earthly. And as is the heavenly, such are those also who are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.
