Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
47 All people, clap your hands! Sing loud to God with a joyful voice!
2 For the LORD is high and terrible, a great King over all the Earth.
3 He has subdued the people under us and the nations under our feet.
4 He has chosen our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom He loved. Selah.
5 God has gone up with triumph, the LORD with the sound of the trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God! Sing praises! Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!
7 For God is the King of all the Earth. Sing praises with understanding.
8 God reigns over the heathen. God sits upon His Holy Throne.
9 The princes of the people are gathered to the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the world belong to God. He is greatly exalted! A song or Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.
15 And the Angel of the LORD cried to Abraham from Heaven a second time,
16 and said, “I have sworn by Myself (says the LORD) because you have done this thing and have not spared your only son.
17 “Therefore, I will surely bless you, and will greatly multiply your seed, as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is upon the seashore. And your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.
18 “And in your seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
9 But concerning brotherly love, you do not need me to write to you. For you are taught by God to love one another.
10 And, indeed, you do so to all the brothers throughout all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to increase more and more
11 and to earnestly endeavor to be quiet and mind your own business; and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 so that you may behave honorably toward those who are outside, and that you lack nothing.
