Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

93 Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.

² Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou [art].

³ Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers.

⁴ Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high [is] Jehovah,

⁵ Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely [is] holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

¹⁶ And there come of the sons of Benjamin and Judah unto the stronghold to David,

¹⁷ and David goeth out before them, and answereth and saith to them, `If for peace ye have come in unto me, to help me, I have a heart to unite with you; and if to betray me to mine adversaries -- without violence in my hands -- the God of our fathers doth see and reprove.'

¹⁸ And the Spirit hath clothed Amasai, head of the captains: `To thee, O David, and with thee, O son of Jesse -- peace! peace to thee, and peace to thy helper, for thy God hath helped thee;' and David receiveth them, and putteth them among the heads of the troop.

¹⁹ And of Manasseh there have fallen unto David in his coming with the Philistines against Israel to battle -- and they helped them not, for by counsel the princes of the Philistines sent him away, saying, `With our heads he doth fall unto his master Saul.' --

²⁰ In his going unto Ziglag there have fallen unto him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillthai, heads of the thousands that [are] of Manasseh;

²¹ and they have helped with David over the troop, for mighty of valour [are] all of them, and they are captains in the host,

²² for at that time, day by day, they come in unto David to help him, till it is a great camp, like a camp of God.

⁵ And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'

⁶ and He said to me, `It hath been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely;

⁷ he who is overcoming shall inherit all things, and I will be to him -- a God, and he shall be to me -- the son,

⁸ and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part [is] in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.'

⁹ And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, `Come, I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb -- the wife,'

¹⁰ and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

¹¹ having the glory of God, and her light [is] like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal,

¹² having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are [those] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel,

¹³ at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates;

¹⁴ and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
