Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
75 We will praise You, O God! We will praise You, for Your Name is near! They will declare Your wondrous works.
2 “When I shall take a convenient time, I will judge righteously.
3 “The Earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved; but I will establish the pillars of it. Selah.
4 “I said to the foolish, ‘Do not be so foolish,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.
5 “‘Do not lift up your horn on High, nor speak with a stiff neck.’”
6 For exaltation is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge. He makes low and He makes high.
8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine is foaming. It is fully mixed, and He pours out of the same. Surely, all the wicked of the Earth shall drain and drink the dregs thereof.
9 But I will declare forever and sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Also, all the horns of the wicked I will break. But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. To him who excels on Neginoth: a Psalm, or song, committed to Asaph
41 “No one is so fierce who dares stir him up. Who, then, is he who can stand before Me?
2 “Who has preceded Me that I should appease? All under heaven is Mine.

4 “Who can discover the face of his garment? Who shall come to him with a double bridle?
5 “Who shall open the doors of his face? His teeth are fearful all around.
6 “The majesty of his scales is like strong shields and are sure-sealed.
7 “One is so near to another, so that no wind can come between them.
8 “One is joined to another. They stick together, so that they cannot be parted.
9 “His sneezes make the light shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
10 “Out of his mouth go lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
11 “Out of his nostrils comes out smoke, as out of a boiling pot or caldron.
13 For when God made the promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself (because He had no greater to swear by),
14 saying, “Surely I will abundantly bless you, and multiply you marvelously.”
15 And so, after he had waited patiently, he enjoyed the promise.
16 For man indeed swears by Him Who is greater. And an oath of confirmation is an end of all strife among them.
17 So God, wanting to more abundantly show the stableness of His counsel to the heirs of promise, bound Himself by an oath.
18 So that by two immutable things (in which it is impossible for God to lie), we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to lay hold upon the hope that is set before us.
19 We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, and entering in those places behind the veil
20 where the forerunner, Jesus - Who was made High Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek - has entered in for us.
