Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
29 1 The Prophet exhorteth the princes and rulers of the world (which for the most part think there is no God.) 3 At the least to fear him for the thunders and tempests, for fear whereof all creatures tremble. 11 And though thereby God threateneth sinners, yet he is always merciful to his, and moveth them thereby to praise his Name.
A Psalm of David.
1 Give unto the Lord, ye [a]sons of the mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
2 Give unto the Lord glory due unto his Name: worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuary.
3 The [b]voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory maketh it to thunder: the Lord is upon the great waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is mighty: the voice of the Lord is glorious.
5 The [c]voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to leap like a calf: Lebanon also and [d]Shirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the [e]flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord maketh the wilderness to tremble: the Lord maketh the wilderness of [f]Kadesh to tremble.
9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to [g]calve, and [h]discovereth the forests: therefore in his [i]Temple doth every man speak of his glory.
10 The Lord sitteth upon the [j]floods, and the Lord doth remain King forever.
11 The Lord shall give strength unto his people: the Lord shall bless his people with peace.
13 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band to labor in the furrow? or will he plow the valleys after thee?
14 Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labor unto him?
15 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it unto thy barn?
16 Hast thou given the pleasant wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
17 Which leaveth his eggs in the earth, and maketh them [a]hot in the dust,
18 And forgetteth that the foot might scatter them, or that the wild beast might break them.
19 He showeth himself cruel unto his young ones, as they were not his, and is without fear, as if he travailed [b]in vain.
20 For God had deprived him of [c]wisdom, and hath given him no part of understanding.
21 When [d]time is, he mounteth on high: he mocketh the horse and his rider.
22 Hast thou given the horse strength, or covered his neck with [e]neighing?
23 Hast thou made him afraid as the grasshopper? his strong neighing is fearful.
24 He [f]diggeth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth forth to meet the harnessed man.
25 He mocketh at fear, and is not afraid, and turneth not back from the sword,
4 [a]Now there are diversities of gifts, but the [b]same Spirit.
5 And there are diversities of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of [c]operations, but God is the same which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is [d]given to every man, to [e]profit withal.
8 [f]For to one is given by the Spirit the word of [g]wisdom: and to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit:
9 And to another is given faith by the same Spirit: and to another the gifts of healing, by the same Spirit:
10 And to another the [h]operations of great works: and to another, [i]prophecy: and to another, the [j]discerning of spirits: and to another, diversities of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues.
11 (A)And all these things worketh one and the selfsame Spirit, distributing to every man severally [k]as he will.
12 [l]For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, which is one, though they be many, yet are but one body: [m]even so is [n]Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into [o]one body, whether we be Jews, or Grecians, whether we be bond, or free, and have been all made to [p]drink into one Spirit.
