Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
GIMEL
17 Be beneficial to Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see the wonders of Your Law.
19 I am a stranger upon Earth. Do not hide Your Commandments from me.
20 My heart breaks for the desire of Your Judgments always.
21 You have rebuked the proud. Cursed are those who stray from Your Commandments.
22 Remove from me shame and contempt, for I have kept Your Testimonies.
23 Princes also sat and spoke against me, but Your servant meditated on Your Statutes.
24 Also Your Testimonies are my delight and my counselors.
DALETH
25 My soul clings to the dust, quicken me according to Your Word.
26 I have declared my ways, and You heard me. Teach me Your Statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of Your Precepts, and I will meditate on Your wondrous works.
28 My soul melts for heaviness, raise me up according to Your Word.
29 Take from me the way of lying and grant me graciously Your Law.
30 I have chosen the way of truth and Your Judgments have I laid before me.
31 I have clung to Your Testimonies, O LORD, do not confound me.
32 I will run the way of Your Commandments, when You shall enlarge my heart.
13 “On that day shall the fair virgins and the young men perish for thirst.
14 “Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and who say, ‘Your God, O Dan, lives!” and, “The manner of Beersheba lives!” even they shall fall and never rise up again.
9 I saw the LORD standing upon the Altar. And He said, “Strike the lintel of the door, so that the posts may shake. And cut them in pieces, even the heads of them all. And I will kill the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not flee away. And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
2 “Though they dig into Hell, there shall My hand take them. Though they climb up to Heaven, there will I bring them down.
3 “And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there. And though they are hidden from My sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.
4 “And although they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them. And I will set My eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.”
2 My little children, these things I write to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father: Jesus Christ, the Just.
2 And He is the reconciliation for our sins; and not only for ours, but also for the whole world.
3 And by this we are sure that we know Him: if we keep His Commandments.
4 The one who says, “I know him,” and does not keep His Commandments, is a liar. And the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His Word, in him is the love of God accomplished. By this we know that we are in Him.
6 Whoever says that he remains in Him, ought still to walk as He has walked.
