Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
We Will Boast in the Name of Yahweh
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
20 May Yahweh answer you (A)in the day of distress!
May the (B)name of the (C)God of Jacob set you securely on high!
2 May He send you help (D)from the sanctuary
And (E)uphold you from Zion!
3 May He (F)remember all your meal offerings
And (G)find your burnt offering [a]acceptable! [b]Selah.
4 May He grant you your (H)heart’s desire
And (I)fulfill all your [c]counsel!
5 [d]We will (J)sing for joy over your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will (K)set up our banners.
May Yahweh (L)fulfill all your petitions.
6 Now (M)I know that Yahweh saves His anointed;
He will (N)answer him from His holy heaven
With the [e](O)saving might of His right hand.
7 Some boast in chariots and some in (P)horses,
But (Q)we will [f]boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.
8 They have (R)bowed down and fallen,
But we have (S)risen and stood upright.
9 [g](T)Save, O Yahweh;
May the (U)King answer us in the day we call.
Yahweh Will Establish Peace
26 (A)In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a (B)strong city;
He sets up walls and ramparts for (C)salvation.
2 Open the (D)gates, that the (E)righteous nation may enter,
The one that keeps faithfulness.
3 The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect (F)peace
Because he trusts in You.
4 (G)Trust in Yahweh forever,
For in Yah—Yahweh Himself—we have an everlasting (H)Rock.
5 For He has laid low those who settle on high, the [a](I)exalted city;
(J)He brings it low, He brings it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
6 (K)The foot will trample it,
The feet of the (L)afflicted, the steps of the poor.”
7 The (M)way of the righteous is upright;
O Upright One, (N)make the path of the righteous level.
8 Indeed, while following the way of (O)Your judgments, O Yahweh,
We have hoped for You eagerly;
(P)Your name—the (Q)memory of You—is the desire of our souls.
9 (R)At night [b]my soul longs for You,
Indeed, [c]my spirit within me (S)seeks You earnestly;
For when the earth [d]experiences Your judgments,
The inhabitants of the world (T)learn righteousness.
16 Therefore we (A)do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our (B)inner man is (C)being renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, (D)light affliction is working out for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we (E)look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
