Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

116 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

² For his mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.

⁶ And the Lord of hosts shall make unto all people in this mountain, a feast of fat things, a feast of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wine purified from the lees.

⁷ And he shall destroy in this mountain the face of the bond with which all people were tied, and the web that he began over all nations.

⁸ He shall cast death down headlong for ever: and the Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face, and the reproach of his people he shall take away from off the whole earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

⁹ And they shall say in that day: Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord, we have patiently waited for him, we shall rejoice and be joyfull in his salvation.

¹² And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;

¹⁴ And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.
