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.
Bezalel and Oholiab
31 (A)And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel, the (B)son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I have (C)filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in discernment, in knowledge, and in all kinds of [a]craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in [b]bronze, 5 and in the cutting of stones [c]for settings, and in the carving of wood, in order for him to work in all kinds of [d]craftsmanship. 6 And behold, I Myself have [e]appointed with him (D)Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are [f]wise at heart I have put [g]wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 (E)the tent of meeting, and (F)the ark of testimony, and (G)the [h]mercy seat upon it, and all the furniture of the tent, 8 (H)the table also and its [i]utensils, and the (I)pure gold lampstand with all its [j]utensils, and (J)the altar of incense, 9 (K)the altar of burnt offering also with all its [k]utensils, and (L)the laver and its stand, 10 the [l](M)woven garments as well, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, with which to minister as priests; 11 (N)the anointing oil also, and the (O)fragrant incense for the holy place, they shall make them according to all that I have commanded you.”
Shepherd the Flock of God
5 (A)Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your (B)fellow elder and (C)witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a (D)partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, 2 shepherd (E)the flock of God among you, overseeing (F)not under compulsion, but willingly, according to God; and (G)not for dishonest gain, but with eagerness; 3 nor yet as (H)lording it over [a]those allotted to you, but being (I)examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief (J)Shepherd appears, you will receive the (K)unfading [b](L)crown of glory. 5 (M)You younger men, likewise, (N)be subject to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with (O)humility toward one another, for (P)God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
