Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹⁰ And David lieth down with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David,

¹¹ and the days that David hath reigned over Israel [are] forty years, in Hebron he hath reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he hath reigned thirty and three years.

¹² And Solomon hath sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom is established greatly,

³ And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David his father -- only, in high places he is sacrificing and making perfume --

⁴ and the king goeth to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings cause to ascend doth Solomon on that altar.

⁵ In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?'

⁶ And Solomon saith, `Thou hast done with Thy servant David my father great kindness, as he walked before Thee in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee, and Thou dost keep for him this great kindness, and dost give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.

⁷ And now, O Jehovah my God, Thou hast caused thy servant to reign instead of David my father; and I [am] a little child, I do not know to go out and to come in;

⁸ and Thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom Thou hast chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,

⁹ and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?'

¹⁰ And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,

¹¹ and God saith unto him, `Because that thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast asked for thee discernment to understand judgment,

¹² lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like thee;

¹³ and also, that which thou hast not asked I have given to thee, both riches and honour, that there hath not been like thee a man among the kings all thy days;

¹⁴ and if thou dost walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as David thy father walked, then I have prolonged thy days.'

111 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

² Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

³ Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

⁴ A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

⁵ Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

⁶ The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

⁷ The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.

⁸ They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

⁹ Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.

¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!

¹⁵ See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

¹⁷ because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,

¹⁸ and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

²⁰ giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;

⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

⁵² The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?'

⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

⁵⁴ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁵ for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

⁵⁶ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'
