Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of Your compassions, put away my iniquities.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity; and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my iniquities; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against You, against You only, have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be just when You speak and pure when You judge.
5 Behold, I was born in iniquity; and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You love truth to the core. Therefore, You have taught me wisdom in my core.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness; so that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your Face from my sins; and put away all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence; and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation; and establish me with Your free Spirit.
13 Then I shall teach Your ways to the wicked; and sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue shall sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, O LORD, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16 For You desire no sacrifice, though I would give it. You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit. A contrite and a broken heart, O God, You will not despise.
18 Be favorable to Zion for Your good pleasure. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shall You accept the sacrifices of righteousness, the burnt offering and oblation. Then shall they offer calves upon Your altar. To him who excels: A Psalm of David to give instruction, when Doeg the Edomite came and showed Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
3 And the Word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 “Arise. Go to Nineveh, that great city; and preach to it the preaching which I command you.”
3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the Word of the LORD. Now, Nineveh was a large city of three days’ journey.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For Word came to the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne. And he laid his robe aside and covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.
7 And he proclaimed and said through Nineveh, (by the counsel of the king and his nobles) saying, “Let neither man nor beast, bullock nor sheep, taste anything nor feed nor drink water.
8 “But let man and beast put on sackcloth and cry mightily to God. Indeed, let every man turn from his evil way, and from the wickedness that is in their hands.
9 “Who can tell if God will turn and have compassion and turn away from His fierce wrath, so that we do not perish?”
10 And God saw their works — that they turned from their evil ways — and God turned from of the evil that He had said that He would do to them; and He did it not.
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to preach the Gospel of God
2 (which He had promised before by his Prophets in the Holy Scriptures);
3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord (Who was made from the seed of David, according to the flesh,
4 and declared mightily to be the Son of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead);
5 by Whom we have received grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be given unto the faith) for His Name, among all the Gentiles,
6 among whom you are also called by Jesus Christ.
7 To all at Rome, beloved of God, called to be Saints: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
