Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
106 Praise ye the Lord! O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can show forth all His praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O Lord, with the favor which Thou bearest unto Thy people; O visit me with Thy salvation,
5 that I may see the good of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
13 They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel,
14 but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15 And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16 They also envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molten image.
20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21 They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearsome things by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them.

15 “Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves (for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spoke unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire),
16 lest ye corrupt yourselves and make you a graven image: the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17 the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18 the likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth;
19 and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath imparted unto all nations under the whole heaven.
20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto Him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
19 For this is thankworthy: if a man, because of his conscience toward God, endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? But if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 For even unto this were ye called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps,
22 “who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth”;
23 who when He was reviled, reviled not in return; when He suffered, He threatened not, but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously;
24 who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray, but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
