Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Nun
105 Your word is a (A)lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 I have (B)sworn and I have confirmed,
To keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am exceedingly (C)afflicted;
O Yahweh, [a](D)revive me according to Your word.
108 Oh be pleased with the (E)freewill offerings of my mouth, O Yahweh,
And (F)teach me Your judgments.
109 My (G)soul is continually [b]in my hand,
Yet I do not (H)forget Your law.
110 The wicked have (I)laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not (J)wandered from Your precepts.
111 I have (K)inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the (L)joy of my heart.
112 I have (M)inclined my heart to do Your statutes
Forever, (N)to the end.
32 “(A)Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak;
And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 (B)Let what I have learned drop as the rain,
My speech distill as the dew,
(C)As the droplets on the fresh grass
And as the showers on the herb.
3 (D)For I proclaim the name of Yahweh;
(E)Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 (F)The Rock! His work is [a]perfect,
(G)For all His ways are [b]just;
(H)A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
Righteous and upright is He.
5 [c](I)They have acted corruptly toward Him,
They are not His children because of their defect;
(J)But are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus (K)repay Yahweh,
(L)O people who are wickedly foolish and without wisdom?
(M)Is not He your Father who has bought you?
(N)He has made you and established you.
7 Remember the ancient days,
Consider the years from generation to generation.
(O)Ask your father, and he will declare to you,
Your elders, and they will speak to you.
8 (P)When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
When He separated the sons of [d]man,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
(Q)According to the number of the [e]sons of Israel.
9 (R)For Yahweh’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.
10 (S)He found him in a desert land,
And in the howling waste of a wilderness;
He encircled him; He cared for him;
He guarded him as (T)the pupil of His eye.
Paul’s Ministry Plans
14 But I myself am also convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of (A)goodness, having been filled with (B)all knowledge and being able also to admonish one another. 15 But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of (C)the grace that was given me [a]by God 16 for me to be (D)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the (E)gospel of God, so that my (F)offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore in Christ Jesus I have (G)reason for boasting in (H)things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not be bold to speak of anything [b]except what (I)Christ has brought about through me, [c]leading to the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19 in the power of [d](J)signs and wonders, (K)in the power of the Spirit; so that (L)from Jerusalem and all around as (M)far as Illyricum I have [e]fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And in this way I make it my ambition to (N)proclaim the gospel, not where Christ was already named, (O)so that I would not build on another man’s foundation; 21 but as it is written,
“(P)They who had no declaration of Him shall see,
And they who have not heard shall understand.”
