Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD broke the cedars of Lebanon.
6 And He made them skip like calves; Lebanon and Sirion like the sons of the unicorns.
7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD that shall shake the wilderness; the LORD shall shake the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD shall make the hinds to calve and shall uncover the forests: and in his temple every one speaks to his glory.
10 The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sat down as King for ever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people in peace.
16 ¶ Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year on the first day of the month that the tabernacle was raised up.
18 And Moses caused the tabernacle to be raised up and fastened its sockets and set up its boards and put in its bars and caused its pillars to be raised up.
19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark and set the staves on the ark and put the seat of reconciliation upon the ark above,
21 and he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the curtain and covered the ark of the testimony, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he put the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, upon the side of the Aquilon of the tabernacle, outside the veil.
23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 And he put the lampstand in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the table, on the side of the Negev of the tabernacle.
25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
26 He also put the golden altar in the tabernacle of the testimony before the veil.
27 And he burnt aromatic incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
28 In the same manner he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the testimony, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the present, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
30 And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar and put water in it, to wash with.
31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons would wash their hands and their feet in it.
32 When they would enter into the tabernacle of the testimony and when they would come near unto the altar, they washed themselves, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
33 Last he raised up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar and set up the hanging of the court gate. Thus Moses finished the work.
34 ¶ Then a cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of the testimony because the cloud was upon it, and the glory of the LORD had it full.
36 And when the cloud lifted itself up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward in all their journeys;
37 but if the cloud did not lift itself up, then they did not journey until the day that it lifted itself up.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and the fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
35 ¶ And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 And the keeper of the prison made these words known unto Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out in secret? no indeed; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 And the sergeants returned and told these words unto the magistrates; and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.
39 And they came and besought them, and bringing them out, asked them to depart out of the city.
40 And leaving the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them and departed.
