Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
In the Shadow of Your Wings
A Prayer of David.
17 Hear a (A)righteous cause, O Yahweh, (B)give heed to my cry of lamentation;
(C)Give ear to my prayer, which is not from (D)deceitful lips.
2 May (E)my [a]judgment come from Your presence;
May Your eyes behold (F)what is upright.
3 You have (G)tested my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have (H)tried me and (I)You find [b]nothing;
I have (J)purposed that my mouth will not [c]transgress.
4 As for the deeds of men, (K)by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the (L)paths of the violent.
5 My (M)steps have held fast to Your [d]paths.
My (N)footsteps have not stumbled.
Israel’s Restoration and Dominion
14 When Yahweh will (A)have compassion on Jacob and again (B)choose Israel, and [a]put them in their own land, then (C)sojourners will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob. 2 And the peoples will take them along and bring them to their place, and the (D)house of Israel will possess them as an inheritance in the land of Yahweh (E)for their male and female slaves; and [b]they will take their captors captive and will have dominion over their taskmasters.
God Will Fill Your Needs
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last (A)you have revived thinking about me; indeed, you were thinking about me before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak [a]from want, for I learned to be [b](B)content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in abundance; in any and all things I have learned the secret of being filled and going (C)hungry, both of having abundance and (D)suffering need. 13 I can do all things [c]through Him who (E)strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to (F)fellowship with me in my affliction.
15 And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the [d](G)first preaching of the gospel, after I left (H)Macedonia, no church (I)fellowshipped with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone.
