Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
For the choir director; on stringed instruments; a psalm; a song.
67 May God have pity on us and bless us!
May he smile on us. Selah
2 Then your ways will be known on earth,
your salvation throughout all nations.
3 Let everyone give thanks to you, O God.
Let everyone give thanks to you.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing joyfully
because you judge everyone with justice
and guide the nations on the earth. Selah
5 Let the people give thanks to you, O God.
Let all the people give thanks to you.
6 The earth has yielded its harvest.
May God, our God, bless us.
7 May God bless us,
and may all the ends of the earth worship him.
20 Come here, you refugees from the nations.
Ignorant people carry wooden idols
and pray to gods that cannot save ⌞anyone⌟.
21 Speak and present your case. Yes, let them consult one another.
Who revealed this in the distant past and predicted it long ago?
Wasn’t it I, the Lord?
There is no other God except me.
There is no other righteous God and Savior besides me.
22 Turn to me and be saved, all who live at the ends of the earth,
because I am God, and there is no other.
23 I have bound myself with an oath.
A word has gone out from my righteous mouth
that will not be recalled,
“Every knee will bow to me
and every tongue will swear ⌞allegiance⌟.”
24 It will be said of me,
“Certainly, righteousness and strength are found in the Lord alone.”
All who are angry with him will come to him and be ashamed.
25 All the descendants of Israel will be declared righteous,
and they will praise the Lord.
Seven Angels with Seven Plagues
15 I saw another sign in heaven. It was spectacular and amazing. There were seven angels with the last seven plagues which are the final expression of God’s anger.
2 Then I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. Those who had won the victory over the beast, its statue, and the number of its name were standing on the glassy sea. They were holding God’s harps 3 and singing the song of God’s servant Moses and the song of the lamb. They sang,
“The things you do are spectacular and amazing, Lord God Almighty.
The way you do them is fair and true, King of the Nations.
4 Lord, who won’t fear and praise your name?
You are the only holy one,
and all the nations will come to worship you
because they know about your fair judgments.”
