Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

99 Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

² Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

³ They shall praise thy great and terrible name,—it is holy!—

⁴ And the strength of the king that loveth justice. *Thou* hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

⁵ Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and *he* answered them.

⁷ He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

⁸ Jehovah, our God, *thou* answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

⁹ Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.

31 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

² See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

³ and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,

⁴ to devise artistic work—to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

⁵ and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber—to work in all manner of work.

⁶ And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee—

⁷ the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,

⁸ and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;

⁹ and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;

¹⁰ and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests;

¹¹ and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

5 The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:

² shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;

³ not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.

⁴ And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

⁵ Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
