Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁶ Your love, Adonai, is in the heavens,
Your faithfulness up to the skies.
⁷ Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
Your judgments are like the great deep.
You preserve man and beast, Adonai.
⁸ How precious is Your love, O God!
The children of men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
⁹ They drink their fill from the abundance of Your House.
You give them drink from the river of Your delights.
¹⁰ For with You is the fountain of life—
in Your light we see light.

² “Lift your eyes to the barren hills and see!
    Where have you not been violated?
    By the wayside you sat waiting for them
        like a nomad in the desert.
    You have polluted the land
        with your prostitution and wickedness.
³ Therefore showers have been withheld
        and there has been no spring rain.
    You have a harlot’s brazen look;
    you refuse to be ashamed.
⁴ Did you not just now call to Me:
    ‘Avi! You are a friend of my youth.
⁵ Would He keep a grudge forever?
    Would He keep it to the end?’
    So you said—
    yet you have done
        all the evil things you could.”
