Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

105 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.

² Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.

³ Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

⁴ Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;

⁵ Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:

⁶ Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

²³ And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴ And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.

²⁵ He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

²⁶ He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen:

⁴⁵ That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!

¹⁶ Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying, I have indeed visited you, and [seen] that which is done unto you in Egypt;

¹⁷ and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁸ And they shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

¹⁹ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a powerful hand.

²⁰ And I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof; and after that he will let you go.

²¹ And I will give this people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it shall come to pass, when ye go out, that ye shall not go out empty;

²² but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is the inmate of her house, utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing; and ye shall put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and shall spoil the Egyptians.

⁷ For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,

⁸ and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming;

⁹ whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,

¹⁰ and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.

¹¹ And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,

¹² that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.
