Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹⁴ Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel, and to the house of Juda.

¹⁵ In those days, and at that time, I will make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David, and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth.

¹⁶ In those days shall Juda be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely: and this is the name that they shall call him, The Lord our just one.

25 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

² Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

³ For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

⁴ I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

⁵ I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

⁶ I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

⁷ That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁸ I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

⁹ Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

¹⁰ In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.

⁹ For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,

¹⁰ Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face, and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?

¹¹ Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

¹² And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in charity towards one another, and towards all men: as we do also towards you,

¹³ To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;

²⁶ Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;

²⁷ And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.

²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.

²⁹ And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees:

³⁰ When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;

³¹ So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

³² Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.

³³ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³⁴ And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.

³⁵ For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.

³⁶ Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.
