Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
95 O come, let us sing unto the Lord! Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the strength of the hills is His also.
5 The sea is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if ye will hear His voice:
8 “Harden not your heart as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness
9 when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said ‘It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known My ways.’
11 Unto them I swore in My wrath, that they should not enter into My rest.”
8 Rejoice not over me, O mine enemy; when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord because I have sinned against Him, until He plead my cause and execute judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.
10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her that said unto me, “Where is the Lord thy God?” Mine eyes shall behold her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In that day thy walls are to be built; in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
13 Notwithstanding, the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, because of the fruit of their doings.
14 Rule Thy people with Thy rod, the flock of Thine heritage, who dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 “As in the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt, will I show unto them marvelous things.”
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth; their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent; they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth. They shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of Thee.
18 Who is a God like unto Thee, who pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.
19 He will turn again; He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities. And Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob and the mercy to Abraham, which Thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus said unto them, “All ye shall be offended because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’
28 But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29 But Peter said unto Him, “Although all shall be offended, yet will I not.”
30 And Jesus said unto him, “Verily I say unto thee that this day, even in this night, before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice.”
31 But Peter spoke the more vehemently, “If I should die with Thee, I will not deny Thee in any way.” Likewise also said they all.
