Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
9 [a]For you have made the Lord, (A)my refuge,
Even the Most High, (B)your dwelling place.
10 (C)No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your [b]tent.
11 For He will give (D)His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
12 They will (E)bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will (F)tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the [c]serpent you will trample down.
14 “(G)Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will (H)set him securely on high, because he has (I)known My name.
15 “He will (J)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in [d]trouble;
I will rescue him and (K)honor him.
16 “With [e]a (L)long life I will satisfy him
And [f](M)let him see My salvation.”
God Promises Action
6 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for [a](A)under compulsion he will let them go, and [b]under compulsion he will drive them out of his land.”
2 God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am (B)the Lord; 3 and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as [c](C)God Almighty, but by (D)My name, [d]Lord, I did not make Myself known to them. 4 I also established (E)My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the [e]land in which they sojourned. 5 Furthermore I have (F)heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. 6 Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘(G)I am the Lord, and (H)I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also (I)redeem you with (J)an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 Then I will take you [f](K)for My people, and (L)I will be [g]your God; and (M)you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you to the land which (N)I [h]swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and (O)I will give it to you for a possession; (P)I am the Lord.’” 9 So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on (Q)account of their [i]despondency and cruel bondage.
10 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “(R)Go, [j]tell Pharaoh king of Egypt [k]to let the sons of Israel go out of his land.” 12 But Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; (S)how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am [l](T)unskilled in speech?” 13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the sons of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
35 “This Moses whom they (A)disowned, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one whom God [a]sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the [b]help of the angel who appeared to him in the thorn bush. 36 (B)This man led them out, performing (C)wonders and [c]signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the (D)wilderness for forty years. 37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘(E)God will raise up for you a prophet [d]like me from your brethren.’ 38 This is the one who was in (F)the [e]congregation in the wilderness together with (G)the angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and who was with our fathers; and he received (H)living (I)oracles to pass on to you. 39 Our fathers were unwilling to be obedient to him, but (J)repudiated him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt, 40 (K)saying to Aaron, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us; for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what happened to him.’ 41 [f]At that time (L)they made a [g]calf and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in (M)the works of their hands. 42 But God (N)turned away and delivered them up to [h]serve the [i]host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘(O)It was not to Me that you offered victims and sacrifices (P)forty years in the wilderness, was it, O house of Israel?
