Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
105 Praise the LORD! Call upon His Name! Declare His works among the people!
2 Sing to Him! Sing praise to Him! Talk of all His wondrous works!
3 Rejoice in His Holy Name! Let the heart of those who seek the LORD, rejoice!
4 Seek the LORD and His strength. Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His marvelous works that He has done, His wonders and the judgments of His mouth
6 you seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob who are His Elect.
7 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are through all the Earth.
8 He has always remembered His Covenant promise that He made to a thousand generations
9 (which he made with Abraham) and his oath to Isaac.
10 And He has since confirmed it to Jacob for a Law, and to Israel for an everlasting Covenant,
11 saying, “To You I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
37 He also brought them forth with silver and gold, and there was no one feeble among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad at their departing, for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and He brought quails; and He filled them with the bread of Heaven.
41 He opened the rock and the water flowed out and ran like a river in the dry places.
42 For He remembered His Holy Promise to Abraham, His servant.
43 And He brought forth His people with joy and his chosen with gladness,
44 and gave them the lands of the heathen. And they took the labors of the people in possession,
45 so that they might keep His statutes and observe His Laws. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD
12 “For thus says the LORD: ‘Your bruising is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
13 ‘There is no one to judge your cause or bind your wounds. There are neither medicines nor help for you.
14 ‘All your lovers have forgotten you. They do not seek you. For I have stricken you with the wound of an enemy, with a sharp chastisement for the multitude of your iniquities. Your sins have increased.
15 ‘Why do you cry for your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable. Because of the multitude of your iniquities, the increase of your sins, I have done these things to you.
16 ‘Therefore, all those who devour you shall be devoured. And all your enemies, everyone, shall go into captivity. And those who plunder you shall be plundered. And all those who rob you, I will give to be robbed.
17 ‘For I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds,’ says the LORD, ‘because they called you, “The Castaway,” saying, “This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.”
18 “Thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. And the city shall be built upon her own heap. And the palace shall remain in its rightful place.
19 ‘And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of those who are joyous. And I will multiply them. And they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, and they shall not be diminished.
20 ‘Their children, also, shall be as before. And their congregation shall be established before Me. And I will reckon with all who trouble them.
21 ‘And their nobles shall be from among themselves. And their governor shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near and approach Me. For who is this who directs his heart to come to Me,’ says the LORD?
22 ‘And you shall be My people, and I will be your God.’”
36 “While you have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be the children of the Light.” These things Jesus spoke. And having departed, He hid Himself from them.
37 And though He had done so many miracles before them, they did not believe in Him,
38 so that the saying of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, that said, ‘Lord, who believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?’
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah says again,
40 ‘He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I heal them.’
41 These things Isaiah said when he saw His Glory and spoke of Him.
42 Nevertheless, even among the chief rulers, many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess Him, lest they should be cast out of the synagogue.
43 For they loved the praise of man more than the praise of God.
