Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
9 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress:
Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow,
And my years with sighing:
My strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
And my bones are wasted away.
11 Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach,
Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly,
And a fear to mine acquaintance:
They that did see me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:
I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the defaming of many,
Terror on every side:
While they took counsel together against me,
They devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah:
I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand:
Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:
Save me in thy lovingkindness.
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, [a]in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the [b]author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying,
[c]I will declare thy name unto my brethren,
In the midst of the [d]congregation will I sing thy praise.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, [e]Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me. 14 Since then the children are sharers in [f]flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he [g]might bring to nought him that [h]had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and [i]might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 [j]For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 [k]For [l]in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.
