Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
86 1 David sore afflicted and forsaken of all, prayeth fervently for deliverance: sometimes rehearsing his miseries, 5 Sometimes the mercies received. 11 Desiring also to be instructed of the Lord, that he may fear him, and glorify his Name. 14 He complaineth also of his adversaries, and requireth to be delivered from them.
A prayer of David.
1 Incline [a]thine ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve thou my soul, for I am [b]merciful: my God, save thou thy servant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I [c]cry upon thee continually.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and [d]merciful, and of great kindness unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer, and [e]hearken to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none [f]that can do like thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and [g]worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy Name.
10 For thou art great and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
35 1 Jacob at God’s commandment goeth up to Bethel built an altar. 2 He reformeth his household. 5 God maketh the enemies of Jacob afraid. 8 Deborah dieth. 12 The land of Canaan is promised him. 18 Rachel dieth in labor. 22 Reuben lieth with his father’s concubine.
1 Then [a]God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there, and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee, (A)when thou fleddest from Esau thy brother.
2 Then said Jacob unto his household and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and [b]cleanse yourselves, and change your garments:
3 For we will rise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there unto God, which heard me in the day of my tribulation, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods, which were in their hands, and all their [c]earrings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under an oak, which was by Shechem.
17 ¶ [a]Then the chief Priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which was the [b]sect of the Sadducees) and were full of indignation,
18 And laid hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 [c]But the Angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 [d]Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speak to the people, all the [e]words of this life.
21 [f]So when they heard it, they entered into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the chief Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Council together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be brought.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told it,
23 Saying, Certainly we found the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Then when the chief Priest and the captain of the Temple, and the high Priests heard these things, they doubted of them, whereunto this would grow.
25 [g]Then came one and showed them, saying, Behold, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people.
26 [h]Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.)
