Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Yahweh Surrounds His People
A Song of Ascents.
125 Those who trust in Yahweh
Are as Mount Zion, which (A)will not be shaken but (B)will abide forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So (C)Yahweh surrounds His people
(D)From now until forever.
3 For the (E)scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the [a]land of the righteous,
So that the righteous (F)would not send forth their hands in unrighteousness.
The Book of Remembrance
16 Then those who [a]feared Yahweh spoke to one another, and Yahweh (A)gave heed and heard it, and a (B)book of remembrance was written before Him for those who [b]fear Yahweh and who think upon His name. 17 “And they will be (C)Mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the (D)day that I [c]prepare My [d](E)own treasured possession, and I will [e]spare them as a man [f](F)spares his own son who serves him.” 18 So you will return and (G)see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.
The Great Day of Yahweh
4 “[g]For behold, the day is coming, (H)burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every worker of wickedness will be (I)chaff; and the day that is coming will (J)set them aflame,” says Yahweh of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” 2 “But for you who [h]fear My name, the (K)sun of righteousness will rise with (L)healing in its wings; and you will go forth and (M)skip about like calves from the stall. 3 And you will (N)tread down the wicked, for they will be (O)ashes under the soles of your feet (P)on the day [i]which I am preparing,” says Yahweh of hosts.
4 “[j](Q)Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and judgments which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.
5 “Behold, I am going to send you (R)Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh. 6 And he will (S)turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and (T)strike the land, [k]devoting it to destruction.”
9 (A)And as they were coming down from the mountain, He (B)gave them orders not to recount to anyone what they had seen, [a]until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10 And they [b]seized upon [c]that statement, arguing with one another [d]what rising from the dead meant. 11 And they began asking Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that (C)Elijah must come first?” 12 And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of (D)the Son of Man that (E)He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that Elijah has [e]indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
