Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Cause Your Face to Shine upon Us
For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
67 God be gracious to us and (A)bless us,
And (B)cause His face to shine [a]upon us— [b]Selah.
2 That (C)Your way may be known on the earth,
(D)Your salvation among all nations.
3 Let the (E)peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Let the (F)nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will (G)judge the peoples with uprightness
And (H)lead the nations on the earth. Selah.
5 Let the (I)peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
6 The (J)earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God, (K)blesses us.
7 God blesses us,
[c]That (L)all the ends of the earth may fear Him.
9 Then you will understand (A)righteousness and justice
And equity—every (B)good track.
10 For (C)wisdom will enter your heart
And (D)knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 Discretion will (E)keep you,
Discernment will guard you,
12 To (F)deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks (G)perverse things;
13 From those who (H)forsake the paths of uprightness
To walk in the (I)ways of darkness;
14 Who are (J)glad to do evil
And they rejoice in the perversity of evil;
15 Whose paths are (K)crooked,
And who are devious in their tracks;
Zaccheus Is Saved
19 And He (A)entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 And behold, there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich. 3 And Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature. 4 So he ran on before and climbed up into a [a](B)sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 And he hurried and came down and received Him [b]gladly. 7 And when they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone [c]to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8 But Zaccheus stopped and said to (C)the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I [d]will give to the poor, and if I have (D)extorted anyone of anything, I [e]will give back (E)four times as much.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is (F)a son of Abraham. 10 For (G)the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”
