Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
9 I will praise the LORD with my whole heart. I will speak of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, O Most High,
3 because my enemies are turned back. They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause. You are set on the Throne, and judge righteously.
5 You have rebuked the heathen. You have destroyed the wicked. You have put out their name forever and ever.
6 O enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end. And you have destroyed the cities. Their memorial has perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall sit forever. He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 For He shall judge the world in righteousness; shall judge the people with equity.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in time and in affliction.
10 And those who know Your Name will trust in You. For You, LORD, have not failed those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, Who dwells in Zion. Show the people His works.
12 For when He enquires after blood, He remembers it; not forgetting the complaint of the poor.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You Who lifts me up from the gates of death,
14 so that I may show all Your praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion and rejoice in Your salvation.
2 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Then I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see what its width is, and its length.”
3 And behold, the Angel that talked with me went forth. And another angel went out to meet him,
4 and said to him, “Run! Speak to this young man, and say, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it!
5 ‘For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire all around and will be the Glory in the midst of her.
5 Then I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked and beheld a flying book!
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying book! Its length is twenty cubits! And its width is ten cubits!”
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the whole Earth. ‘For everyone who steals shall be cut off, according to this side of the scroll. And everyone who swears shall be cut off, according to that side of the scroll.
4 ‘I will bring it forth,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who falsely swears by My Name. And it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with its timber and its stones.’”
12 Now, we urge you, brothers, that you acknowledge those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you.
13 Hold them in singular love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 We desire, brothers, that you admonish those who are out of order, comfort the faint-hearted, bear with the weak, be patient toward all.
15 See that no one recompenses evil for evil to anyone. But always follow that which is good, both toward yourselves and toward all.
16 Rejoice always.
17 Pray continually.
18 Give thanks in all things. For this is the will of God toward you in Christ Jesus.
