Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Holy Is Yahweh Our God
99 (A)Yahweh reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He (B)sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth quake!
2 Yahweh is (C)great in Zion,
And He is (D)exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your (E)great and awesome name;
(F)Holy is [a]He.
4 [b]The strength of the King (G)loves [c]justice;
You have established [d](H)equity;
You have (I)done [e]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 (J)Exalt Yahweh our God
And (K)worship at the footstool of His feet;
(L)Holy is He.
6 (M)Moses and Aaron were among His (N)priests,
And (O)Samuel was among those who (P)called on His name;
They (Q)would call upon Yahweh and He would answer them.
7 He (R)would speak to them in the pillar of cloud;
They (S)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
8 O Yahweh our God, You (T)answered them;
You were a (U)forgiving God to them,
And yet an (V)avenger of their evil deeds.
9 Exalt Yahweh our God
And worship at His holy mountain,
For holy is Yahweh our God.
7 Now Moses used to take (A)the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And (B)everyone who sought Yahweh would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp. 8 And it happened whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent. 9 And it happened whenever Moses entered the tent, that (C)the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; (D)and [a]Yahweh would speak with Moses. 10 And all the people would see the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent. And all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent. 11 Thus (E)Yahweh used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. Then [b]Moses would return to the camp, and (F)his attendant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to (A)be first among them, does not welcome [a]what we say. 10 For this reason, (B)if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he does, unjustly disparaging us with wicked words. And not satisfied with this, he himself does not (C)welcome the (D)brothers either, and he forbids those who want to do so and (E)puts them out of the church.
11 Beloved, (F)do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. (G)The one who does good is of God; (H)the one who does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius (I)has received a good witness from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our witness, and (J)you know that our witness is true.
