Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
107 1 The Prophet exhorteth all those that are redeemed by the Lord and gathered unto him, to give thanks, 9 for this merciful providence of God governing all things at his good pleasures, 20 sending good and evil, prosperity and adversity to bring men unto him. 42 Therefore as the righteous thereat rejoice, so shall the wicked have their mouth stopped.
1 Praise [a]the Lord, because he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
2 Let them, [b]which have been redeemed of the Lord, show how he hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor,
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the [c]South.
17 [a]Fools by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all meat, and they are brought to death’s door.
19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivereth them from their distress.
20 [b]He sendeth his word and healeth them, and delivereth them from their [c]graves.
21 Let them therefore confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men,
22 And let them offer sacrifices of [d]praise, and declare his works with rejoicing.
5 ¶ Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the brink of the [a]river, and the other on that side of the brink of the river.
6 And one said unto the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, When shall be the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his [b]right hand, and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth forever, that it shall tarry for a [c]time two times and an half: and when he shall have accomplished [d]to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 Then I heard it, but I understood it not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up, and sealed, till the end of the time.
10 Many shall be purified, made white, and tried: but the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall have understanding: but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the [e]daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abominable desolation set up, there [f]shall be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand, three hundred and [g]five and thirty days.
13 But go [h]thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand up in thy lot, at the end of the days.
7 [a]By whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to his rich grace:
8 [b][c]Whereby he hath been abundant toward us in [d]all wisdom and understanding,
9 And hath opened unto us the [e]mystery of his will [f]according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,
10 [g]That in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, he might [h]gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are in earth, even in Christ:
11 [i]In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinated according to the purpose of him, which worketh [j]all things after the counsel of his own will,
12 That we, which [k]first trusted in Christ, should be unto the praise of his glory:
13 [l]In whom also ye have trusted, after that ye heard the [m]word of truth, even the Gospel of your salvation, wherein also after that ye believed, ye were [n]sealed with the holy [o]Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the [p]redemption of that liberty purchased unto the praise of his glory.
