Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
נ NUN
105 (A)Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 (B)I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept, I pray, (C)the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
And teach me Your judgments.
109 (D)My life is continually [a]in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
110 (E)The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111 (F)Your testimonies I have taken as a [b]heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.
The Song of Moses
32 “Give (A)ear, O heavens, and I will speak;
And hear, O (B)earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Let (C)my [a]teaching drop as the rain,
My speech distill as the dew,
(D)As raindrops on the tender herb,
And as showers on the grass.
3 For I proclaim the (E)name of the Lord:
(F)Ascribe greatness to our God.
4 He is (G)the Rock, (H)His work is perfect;
For all His ways are justice,
(I)A God of truth and (J)without injustice;
Righteous and upright is He.
5 “They(K) have corrupted themselves;
They are not His children,
Because of their blemish:
A (L)perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus (M)deal[b] with the Lord,
O foolish and unwise people?
Is He not (N)your Father, who (O)bought you?
Has He not (P)made you and established you?
7 “Remember(Q) the days of old,
Consider the years of many generations.
(R)Ask your father, and he will show you;
Your elders, and they will tell you:
8 When the Most High (S)divided their inheritance to the nations,
When He (T)separated the sons of Adam,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the [c]children of Israel.
9 For (U)the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
From Jerusalem to Illyricum
14 Now (A)I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, (B)filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish [a]one another. 15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, (C)because of the grace given to me by God, 16 that (D)I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the (E)offering [b]of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus (F)in the things which pertain to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things (G)which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, (H)to make the Gentiles obedient— 19 (I)in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, (J)lest I should build on another man’s foundation, 21 but as it is written:
(K)“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
