Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Holy Is Yahweh Our God
99 (A)Yahweh reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He (B)sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth quake!
2 Yahweh is (C)great in Zion,
And He is (D)exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your (E)great and awesome name;
(F)Holy is [a]He.
4 [b]The strength of the King (G)loves [c]justice;
You have established [d](H)equity;
You have (I)done [e]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 (J)Exalt Yahweh our God
And (K)worship at the footstool of His feet;
(L)Holy is He.
6 (M)Moses and Aaron were among His (N)priests,
And (O)Samuel was among those who (P)called on His name;
They (Q)would call upon Yahweh and He would answer them.
7 He (R)would speak to them in the pillar of cloud;
They (S)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
8 O Yahweh our God, You (T)answered them;
You were a (U)forgiving God to them,
And yet an (V)avenger of their evil deeds.
9 Exalt Yahweh our God
And worship at His holy mountain,
For holy is Yahweh our God.
6 “So you shall know it is not because of your righteousness that Yahweh your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are (A)a [a]stiff-necked people. 7 Remember, do not forget how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness; (B)from the day that you went out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. 8 Even (C)at Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you. 9 When I went up to the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which Yahweh had cut with you, then I remained on the mountain forty days and nights; (D)I neither ate bread nor drank water. 10 And Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone (E)written by the finger of God; and on them were all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. 11 Now it happened (F)at the end of forty days and nights, that Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant. 12 (G)Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Arise, go down from here quickly, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly. They have (H)quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made a molten image for themselves.’ 13 (I)Yahweh spoke further to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed, [b]they are a [c](J)stiff-necked people. 14 (K)Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and (L)blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and more numerous than they.’
Cornelius’ and Peter’s Visions
10 Now there was a man at (A)Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was (B)called the Italian [a]cohort, 2 a devout man and (C)one who feared God with all his household, and (D)gave many [b]alms to the people and prayed to God continually. 3 About (E)the [c]ninth hour of the day he clearly saw (F)in a vision (G)an angel of God who had come in and said to him, “Cornelius!” 4 And (H)looking intently on him and becoming afraid, he said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and [d]alms (I)have ascended (J)as a memorial before God. 5 Now send some men to (K)Joppa and summon a man named Simon, who is also called Peter; 6 he is lodging with a tanner named (L)Simon, whose house is by the sea.” 7 And when the angel who was speaking to him had left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants, 8 and after he explained everything to them, he sent them to (M)Joppa.
