Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
106 1 The people dispersed under Antiochus, do magnify the goodness of God among the just and repentant: 4 Desiring to be brought again into the land by God’s merciful visitation. 8 And after the manifold marvels of God wrought in their deliverance forth of Egypt, And the great ingratitude of the people rehearsed. 47 They do pray and desire to be gathered from among the heathen, to the intent that they may praise the Name of the God of Israel.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 Praise [a]ye the Lord because he is good, for his mercy endureth forever.
2 Who can express the noble acts of the Lord, or show forth all his praise?
3 Blessed are they that [b]keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O Lord, with the [c]favor of thy people: visit me with thy salvation,
5 That I may see the felicity of thy chosen, and rejoice in the joy of thy people, and glory with thine inheritance.
6 We have [d]sinned with our fathers: we have committed iniquity, and done wickedly.
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt, neither remembered they the multitude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, even at the red sea.
8 Nevertheless he [e]saved them for his Name’s sake, that he might make his power to be known.
9 And he rebuked the red sea, and it was dried up, and he led them in the deep, as in the wilderness.
10 And he saved them from the adversary’s hand, and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
11 (A)And the waters covered their oppressors: not one of them was left.
12 Then [f]believed they his words, and sang praise unto him.
12 Up Deborah, up, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and lead [a]thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 For they that remain, have dominion over the mighty of the people: the Lord hath given me dominion over the strong.
14 Of Ephraim [b]their root arose against Amalek: and after thee Benjamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek, of Machir came rulers, and of Zebulun, they that handle the pen of the [c]writer.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and [d]Issachar, and also Barak: he was set on his feet in the valley: for the divisions of Reuben were great [e]thoughts of heart.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? for the divisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
17 [f]Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why doth Dan remain in ships? Asher sat on the seashore, and tarried in his [g]decayed places.
18 But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali have jeopardized their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 The Kings came and fought: then fought the Kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they received no gain of [h]money.
20 They fought from heaven, even the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 The River Kishon [i]swept them away, that ancient river the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast marched valiantly.
13 [a]These things have I written unto you, that believe in the name of that Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the Name of that Son of God.
14 [b]And this is that assurance that we have in him, (A)that if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us.
15 And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions, that we have desired of him.
16 [c]If any man see his brother sin a sin that is not unto death, let him [d]ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. (B)There is a sin unto death, I say not that thou shouldest pray for it.
17 [e]All unrighteousness is sin, but there is a sin not unto death.
18 [f]We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 [g]We know that we are of God, and this whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 But we know that that Son of God is (C)come, and hath given us a mind to know him, which is true, and we are in him that is true, that is, in that his Son Jesus Christ, the same is that very [h]God, and that eternal life.
21 [i]Little children, keep yourselves from idols, Amen.
