Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

²⁴ How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

²⁵ Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.

²⁶ There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.

²⁷ These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:

²⁸ That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.

²⁹ Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹ The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.

³² He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

³³ I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.

³⁴ My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.

³⁵ Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!

¹⁸ Then Jehovah will be jealous for his land, and will have pity on his people.

¹⁹ And Jehovah will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I send you corn, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.

²⁰ And I will remove far off from you him [that cometh] from the north, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the hinder sea; and his stench shall come up, and his ill odour shall come up, for he hath exalted himself to do great things.

²¹ —Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for Jehovah doeth great things.

²² Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring; for the tree beareth its fruit; the fig-tree and the vine yield full increase.

²³ And ye, children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the early rain in due measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the early rain, and the latter rain at the beginning [of the season].

²⁴ And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

²⁵ And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you.

²⁶ And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Jehovah your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

²⁷ And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, Jehovah, [am] your God, and there is none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

²⁸ And it shall come to pass afterwards [that] I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

²⁹ Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.

⁴ But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;

⁵ and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;

⁶ and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

⁷ But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.

⁸ For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

⁹ and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;

¹⁰ and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.

¹¹ But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
