Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Prayer for Help in Trouble.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
13 How long, Lord? Will You (A)forget me forever?
How long (B)will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long am I to (C)feel anxious in my soul,
With (D)grief in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
23 And he went up from there to (A)Beersheba. 24 And the Lord (B)appeared to him the same night and said,
“(C)I am the God of your father Abraham;
(D)Do not fear, for I am with you.
I (E)will bless you and multiply your [a]descendants,
For the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25 So he built an (F)altar there and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
Instructions
17 Now He said to His disciples, “(A)It is inevitable that [a]stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! 2 (B)It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he [b]is thrown into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to [c]sin. 3 [d]Be on your guard! (C)If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you (D)seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
