Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
90 1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life, 7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever.
A prayer of Moses, [a]the man of God.
1 Lord, thou hast been our [b]habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the [c]mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou [d]turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
4 [e]For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast [f]overflowed them, they are as a sleep, in the morning he groweth like the grass:
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
13 Return (O Lord, [a]how long?) and be [b]pacified toward thy servants.
14 Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days?
15 Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 [c]Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their [d]children.
17 And let the [e]beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and [f]direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
32 The song of Moses containing 7 God’s benefits toward the people, 15 and their ingratitude toward him. 20 God menaceth them, 21 and speaketh of the vocation of the Gentiles. 46 Moses commandeth to teach the Law to the children. 49 God forewarneth Moses of his death.
1 Hearken, ye [a]heavens, and I will speak: and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 My [b]doctrine shall drop as the rain, and my speech shall still as the dew, as the shower upon the herbs, and as the great rain upon the grass.
3 For I will publish the Name of the Lord: give ye glory unto our God.
4 Perfect is the work of the [c]mighty God: for all his ways are judgment. God is true, and without wickedness: just and righteous is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves toward him by their vice, not being his children, but a froward and crooked generation.
6 Do ye so reward the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father, that hath bought thee? he hath [d]made thee, and proportioned thee.
7 ¶ Remember the days of old: consider the years of so many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee: thine Elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the most high God divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the borders of the [e]people, according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people: Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in the land of the wilderness, in a waste and roaring wilderness: he led him about, he taught him, and kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, [f]fluttereth over her birds, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them and beareth them on her wings,
12 So the Lord alone led him, and there was no [g]strange god with him.
13 He carried him up to the high places of the [h]earth, that he might eat the fruits of the fields, and he caused him to suck [i]honey out of the stone, and oil out of the hard rock:
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep with fat of the lambs, and rams fed in Bashan, and goats, with the fat of the grains of wheat: and the red [j]liquor of the grape hast thou drunk.
18 Thou hast forgotten the mighty God, that begat thee, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
11 (A)[a]For that grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared,
12 And teacheth us, that we should deny ungodliness and [b]worldly lusts, and that we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in this present world,
13 [c]Looking for that blessed hope, and appearing of that glory of that mighty God, and of our Savior Jesus Christ.
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purge us to be a [d]peculiar people unto himself, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and convince with all [e]authority. See that no man despise thee.
