Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
ו (Vav)
41 May I experience your loyal love,[a] O Lord,
and your deliverance,[b] as you promised.[c]
42 Then I will have a reply for the one who insults me,[d]
for I trust in your word.
43 Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony,[e]
for I await your justice.
44 Then I will keep[f] your law continually
now and for all time.[g]
45 I will be secure,[h]
for I seek your precepts.
46 I will speak[i] about your regulations before kings
and not be ashamed.
47 I will find delight in your commands,
which I love.
48 I will lift my hands to[j] your commands,
which I love,
and I will meditate on your statutes.
38 Aaron the priest ascended Mount Hor at the command[a] of the Lord, and he died there in the fortieth year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt on the first day of the fifth month. 39 Now Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.
8 But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture,[a] “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,”[b] you are doing well. 9 But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators.[c] 10 For the one who obeys the whole law but fails[d] in one point has become guilty of all of it.[e] 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,”[f] also said, “Do not murder.”[g] Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law. 12 Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom.[h] 13 For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over[i] judgment.
