Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
83 1 The people of Israel pray unto the Lord to deliver them from their enemies both at home and far off, which imagined nothing but their destruction. 9 And they desire that all such wicked people may according as God was accustomed, be stricken with the stormy tempest of God’s wrath, 18 That they may know that the Lord is most high upon the earth.
A song or Psalm committed to Asaph.
1 Keep [a]not thou silence, O God: be not still, and cease not, O God.
2 For lo, thine [b]enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee, have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy [c]secret ones.
4 They have said, Come and let us [d]cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more in remembrance.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled forever: yea, let them be put to shame, and perish,
18 That they may [a]know that thou, which art calleth Jehovah, art alone, even the most High over all the earth.
2 2 Moses is born and cast into the flags. 5 He is taken up of Pharaoh’s daughter and kept. 12 He killeth the Egyptian. 15 He fleeth and marrieth a wife. 23 The Israelites cry unto the Lord.
1 Then there went a [a]man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived and bare a son: and when she saw that he was fair, (A)she hid him three months.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark made of reed, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and [b]laid the child therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the river’s brink.
4 Now his sister stood afar off, to wit what would come of him.
5 ¶ Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash her in the river, and her maidens walked by the river’s side: and when she saw the ark among the bulrushes, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 Then she opened it, and saw it was a child, and behold, the babe wept: so she had compassion on it, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Then said his sister unto Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call unto thee a nurse of the Hebrew women to nurse thee the child?
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. So the maid went and called the [c]child’s mother.
9 To whom Pharaoh’s daughter said, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will reward thee. Then the woman took the child, and nursed him.
10 Now the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he was as her son, and she called his name Moses, because, said she, I drew him out of the water.
12 [a]Now we beseech you brethren, that ye [b]acknowledge them which labor among you, and are over you in the [c]Lord, and admonish you.
13 That ye have them in singular love for [d]their work’s sake. [e]Be at peace among yourselves.
14 [f]We desire you, brethren, admonish them that are [g]out of order: comfort the feebleminded: bear with the weak: be patient toward all men.
15 (A)[h]See that none recompense evil for evil unto any man: but ever follow that which is good, both toward yourselves, and toward all men.
16 [i]Rejoice evermore.
17 (B)Pray continually.
18 In all things, give thanks, for this is the [j]will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
