Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Pleading and Trust.
A Prayer of David.
86 (A)Incline Your ear, Lord, and answer me;
For I am (B)afflicted and needy.
2 (C)Protect my [a]soul, for I am (D)godly;
You my God, save Your servant who (E)trusts in You.
3 Be (F)gracious to me, Lord,
For (G)I call upon You all day long.
4 Make the soul of Your servant joyful,
For to You, Lord, (H)I lift up my soul.
5 For You, Lord, are (I)good, and (J)ready to forgive,
And (K)abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.
6 (L)Listen, Lord, to my prayer;
And give Your attention to the sound of my pleading!
7 On (M)the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For (N)You will answer me.
8 There is (O)no one like You among the gods, Lord,
Nor are there any works (P)like Yours.
9 (Q)All nations whom You have made will come and worship before You, Lord,
And they will glorify Your name.
10 For You are (R)great, and You (S)do [b]wondrous deeds;
You alone (T)are God.
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of (A)the Passover: no [a](B)foreigner is to eat it; 44 but as for every (C)slave [b]that someone has purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. 45 (D)A stranger or a hired worker shall not eat it. 46 It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring any of the meat outside of the house, (E)nor are you to break any bone of it. 47 (F)All the congregation of Israel are to [c]celebrate this. 48 But (G)if a stranger resides with you and [d]celebrates the Passover to the Lord, all of his males are to be circumcised, and then he shall come near to [e]celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised male may eat it. 49 [f](H)The same law shall [g]apply to the native as to the stranger who resides among you.”
Earth Subject to Man
5 For He did not subject to angels [a](A)the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 But someone has testified (B)somewhere, saying,
“(C)What is man, that You think of him?
Or a son of man, that You are concerned about him?
7 (D)You have made him [b]for a little while lower than angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor[c];
8 (E)You have put everything in subjection under his feet.”
For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now (F)we do not yet see all things subjected to him.
Jesus Briefly Humbled
9 But we do see Him who was (G)made [d]for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, (H)because of His suffering death (I)crowned with glory and honor, so that (J)by the grace of God He might (K)taste death (L)for everyone.
