Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
To the Overcomer upon Shoshannim, {lilies} A testimony of Asaph: A Psalm.
1 ¶ Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth.
2 In the presence of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of the hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 Thou dost feed them with the bread of tears and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 Thou dost make us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at us among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of the hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
31 Behold, the days come, said the LORD, in which I will make a new covenant with the house of Jacob and with the house of Judah:
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt because they invalidated my covenant although I was a husband unto them, said the LORD;
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said the LORD, I will give my law in their souls and write it in their hearts and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall no longer teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, said the LORD, for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
10 In this will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus, the Christ, once for all.
11 And so every priest stands daily ministering and offering many times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
12 but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, is seated at the right hand of God,
13 waiting for that which follows, that is, until his enemies are made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected for ever those that are sanctified.
15 Likewise the Holy Spirit gives us the same witness, who afterwards said,
16 This is the testament that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will give my laws in their hearts, and in their souls will I write them;
17 and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
