Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
How Long, O Lord?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
13 (A)How long, O Lord? Will you (B)forget me forever?
How long will you (C)hide your face from me?
2 How long must I take (D)counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
God's Steadfast Love and Compassion
18 (A)Who is a God like you, (B)pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
(C)for the remnant of his inheritance?
(D)He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
19 He will (E)again have compassion on us;
(F)he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
(G)You will cast all our[a] sins
into the depths of the sea.
20 (H)You will show faithfulness to Jacob
and steadfast love to Abraham,
(I)as you have sworn to our fathers
from the days of old.
2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that (A)if you accept circumcision, (B)Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that (C)he is obligated to keep the whole law. 4 You are (D)severed from Christ, (E)you who would be justified[a] by the law; (F)you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly (G)wait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus (H)neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but (I)only faith working through love.
