Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Samekh
113 I hate those who are (A)double-minded,
But I love Your (B)law.
114 You are my (C)hiding place and my (D)shield;
I [a](E)wait for Your word.
115 (F)Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may (G)observe the commandments of my God.
116 (H)Sustain me according to Your [b]word, that I may live;
And (I)do not put me to shame because of my hope.
117 Uphold me that I may be (J)saved,
That I may (K)have regard for Your statutes continually.
118 You have [c]rejected all those (L)who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is a lie.
119 You [d]remove all the wicked of the earth like (M)dross;
Therefore I (N)love Your testimonies.
120 My flesh [e](O)quakes for dread of You,
And I am (P)afraid of Your judgments.
Ayin
121 I have (Q)done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Be for Your slave a (R)guarantee for good;
Do not let the arrogant (S)oppress me.
123 My (T)eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous [f]word.
124 Deal with Your slave (U)according to Your lovingkindness
And (V)teach me Your statutes.
125 (W)I am Your slave; (X)give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.
126 It is time for Yahweh to (Y)act,
For they have broken Your law.
127 Therefore I (Z)love Your commandments
Above gold, even above fine gold.
128 Therefore I deem all Your (AA)precepts concerning everything to be right,
I (AB)hate every false way.
David Escapes from Saul
19 Then Saul spoke with Jonathan his son and all his servants (A)to put David to death. But (B)Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David. 2 So Jonathan told David saying, “Saul my father is seeking to put you to death. So now, please be careful in the morning, and stay in a secret place and hide yourself. 3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you; (C)what I [a]perceive, I will tell you.” 4 Then Jonathan (D)spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “(E)Do not let the king sin against his servant David, since he has not sinned against you, and since his works have been very good for you. 5 For (F)he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and (G)Yahweh brought about a great salvation for all Israel; you saw it and were glad. (H)Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?” 6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.” 7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as (I)formerly.
The Shipwreck
39 Now when day came, (A)they [a]could not recognize the land; but they were noticing a bay with a beach, and they were resolving to drive the ship onto it if they could. 40 And casting off (B)the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders. And hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach. 41 But striking a [b]reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves. 42 Now the soldiers’ plan was to (C)kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape; 43 but the centurion, (D)wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should [c]jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that (E)they all were brought safely to land.
