Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

111 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

² Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

³ His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

⁴ He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

⁵ He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

⁶ He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

⁷ The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

⁸ Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

⁹ He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

¹⁰ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.

²⁸ Take heed to hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.

²⁹ When Jehovah thy God cutteth off from before thee the nations whither thou goest, to take possession of them, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their land,

³⁰ take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared [to follow] after them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

³¹ Thou shalt not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every [thing that is] abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burned in the fire to their gods.

³² Everything that I command you, ye shall take heed to do it; thou shalt not add thereto, nor take from it.

¹² And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:

¹³ I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.

¹⁵ So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.

¹⁶ Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].
