Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
77 My voice came to God when I cried. My voice came to God and He heard me.
2 On the day of my trouble, I sought the LORD. My hand did not cease in the night. My soul refused comfort.
3 I thought upon God and was troubled. I prayed, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah.
4 You keep my eyes awake. I was astonished and could not speak.
5 I considered the days of old, the years of ancient time.
6 I called to remembrance my song in the night. I communed with my own heart; and my spirit searched diligently.
7 Will the LORD be absent forever? And will He show no more favor?
8 Has His mercy ceased forever? Does His promise fail forevermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has He shut up His tender mercies in displeasure? Selah.
10 And I said, “This is my death.” Yet, I remembered the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11 I remembered the works of the LORD. Certainly, I remembered Your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all Your works and talk of Your acts.
13 Your way, O God, is in the Sanctuary. Who is so great a God as our God!
14 You are the God Who does wonders. You have declared Your power among the people.
15 You have redeemed Your people with Your arm, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw You, O God. The waters saw You and were afraid. Indeed, the depths trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water. The heavens gave a sound. Indeed, Your arrows went all over.
18 The voice of Your thunder was all round. The lightnings lightened the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way is in the sea, Your paths in the great waters; and Your footsteps are not known.
20 You led Your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. A Psalm to give instruction, committed to Asaph
30 The prophecy the warrior spoke to Ithiel - to Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Surely, I am more foolish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man in me.
3 For I have not learned wisdom, nor attained to the knowledge of holy things.
4 Who has ascended up to Heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fist? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the world? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if you can tell?
5 Every Word of God is pure. He is a shield to those who trust in Him.
6 Add nothing to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of you. Do not deny me them before I die.
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with food prescribed to me;
9 lest I be full and deny, saying, “Who is the LORD?” or lest I be poor and steal, and manipulate the Name of my God.
4 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.
2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
3 Then the tempter came to Him, and said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.”
4 But He, answering, said, “It is written, man shall not live by bread only, but by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God.”
5 Then the devil took Him up into the Holy City and set Him on a pinnacle of the Temple,
6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down. For it is written that ‘He will give His angels charge over you. And they shall lift you up with their hands, lest at any time you should dash your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
8 Again, the devil took Him up into an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
9 and said to Him, “All these I will give You, if You will fall down, and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Get away, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, And Him only shall you serve.’”
11 Then the devil left Him. And behold, the angels came and ministered to Him.
