Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
9 ¶ Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to my acquaintances: those that see me without flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I have become like a lost vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many; fear was on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD; I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy slave; save me for thy mercies’ sake.
Koph
55 ¶ I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
Koph
56 Thou hast heard my voice; do not hide thine ear at my cry that I might breath.
Koph
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou didst say, Fear not.
Resh
58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
Resh
59 O LORD, thou hast seen where I was wrong; plead thou my cause.
Resh
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
Schin
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
Schin
62 The words of those that rose up against me, and their design against me all the day.
Schin
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
Tau
64 Render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
Tau
65 Give them sorrow of heart; thy curse unto them.
Tau
66 Persecute them in thy anger and cut them off from under the heavens, oh LORD.
32 ¶ And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and they followed him with fear. Then, taking the twelve aside again, he began to tell them what things would happen unto him,
33 saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the princes of the priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him to the Gentiles,
34 and they shall mock him and shall scourge him and shall spit upon him and shall kill him; but the third day he shall rise again.
