Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
ו Waw
41 Let your faithful love come to me, Lord,(A)
your salvation, as you promised.(B)
42 Then I can answer the one who taunts me,(C)
for I trust in your word.
43 Never take the word of truth from my mouth,
for I hope in your judgments.(D)
44 I will always obey your instruction,
forever and ever.(E)
45 I will walk freely in an open place(F)
because I study your precepts.(G)
46 I will speak of your decrees before kings
and not be ashamed.(H)
47 I delight in your commands,
which I love.(I)
48 I will lift up my hands(J) to your commands,
which I love,
and will meditate on your statutes.(K)
38 At the Lord’s command, the priest Aaron climbed Mount Hor and died there on the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year after the Israelites went out of the land of Egypt.(A) 39 Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.
8 Indeed, if you fulfill the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself,[a](A) you are doing well. 9 If, however, you show favoritism,(B) you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the entire law, and yet stumbles at one point, is guilty of breaking it all.(C) 11 For he who said, Do not commit adultery,[b] also said, Do not murder.[c](D) So if you do not commit adultery, but you murder, you are a lawbreaker.
12 Speak and act as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom.(E) 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has not shown mercy.(F) Mercy triumphs over judgment.
