Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
68 God will arise. His enemies shall be scattered. Also, those who hate Him shall flee before Him.
2 As the smoke vanishes, so shall You drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But the righteous shall be glad and rejoice before God. Indeed, they shall leap for joy.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to His Name! Exalt Him Who rides upon the heavens (by his Name, YAH) and rejoice before him!
5 He is a Father of the fatherless and a Judge of the widows: God in His Holy Habitation.
6 God makes the solitary dwell in families and delivers those who were held captive. But the rebellious shall dwell in a parched land.
7 O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You went through the wilderness (Selah),
8 the Earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of this God. Sinai was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 You, O God, sent a gracious rain upon Your inheritance; and You refreshed it when it was weary.
10 Your Congregation dwelled therein. You, O God, have, by Your goodness, prepared it for the poor.
19 Praised be the LORD, the God of our salvation, Who daily bears our burden. Selah.
20 This is our God, the God Who saves; and to the LORD God belongs the escapes from death.
14 Why do we stay? Assemble yourselves! And let us enter into the strong cities! And let us be quiet there. For the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water with gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good; for a time of health, and behold troubles.
16 The neighing of His horses was heard from Dan. The whole land trembled at the noise of the neighing of His strong horses. For they have come, and have devoured the land with all that is in it: the city and those who dwell in it.
17 “For behold, I will send serpents and vipers among you, which will not be charmed. And they shall sting you,” says the LORD.
18 I would have comforted myself against sorrow, but my heart is heavy in me.
19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a far country, “Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, and with strange vanities?”
20 “The harvest is past! The summer has ended! And we are not saved!”
21 Because of the brokenness of the daughter of my people, I am broken. I mourn. Astonishment has taken me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no Physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
40 And it happened that when Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him. For they all waited for Him.
41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house.
42 For he had an only daughter (about twelve years of age) who lay dying. And as He went, the people thronged Him.
43 And a woman having a twelve-year-long flow of blood (who had spent all she had on physicians, and could not be healed by any)
44 came behind Him. And she touched the hem of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 Then Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitude jostles You, and presses against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
46 And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me. For I perceive that power has gone out of Me.”
47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came, trembling, and fell down before Him. And before all the people, she told Him why she had touched Him, and how she had been healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good courage. Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 While He was still speaking, someone from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came and said to Him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Master.”
50 When Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not fear. Only believe, and she shall be saved.”
51 And when He went to the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maid.
52 And all wept and mourned for her. But He said, “Do not weep. For she is not dead, but sleeps.”
53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 So He sent them all out. And He took her by the hand and cried, saying, “Little girl, arise!”
55 Then her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And He commanded to give her food.
56 Then her parents were astonished. But He commanded them to tell no one what had happened.
