Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of Your compassions, put away my iniquities.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity; and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my iniquities; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against You, against You only, have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be just when You speak and pure when You judge.
5 Behold, I was born in iniquity; and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You love truth to the core. Therefore, You have taught me wisdom in my core.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness; so that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your Face from my sins; and put away all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence; and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation; and establish me with Your free Spirit.
2 O LORD, I have heard Your voice, and was afraid! O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the people! In the midst of the years make it known! In wrath remember mercy!
3 God comes from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His Glory covers the heavens. And the Earth is full of His praise.
4 And His brightness was as the light. He had horns coming out of His Hands. His power was hidden there.
5 Before Him went the pestilence. And burning coals went forth before His feet.
6 He stood and measured the Earth. He beheld and dissolved the nations. And the everlasting mountains were broken, the ancient hills bowed. His ways are everlasting!
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in iniquity. The curtains of the land of Midian trembled!
8 Was the LORD displeased with the rivers? Or was Your anger against the rivers? Or was Your wrath against the sea, so that You rode upon Your horses? Your chariots brought salvation.
9 Your bow was manifestly revealed. The oaths of the tribes were a sure Word. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw You, and they trembled! The stream of water passed. The deep made a noise and lifted up its hand on high.
11 The Sun and Moon stood still in their habitation. At the light of Your arrows they went, at the bright shining of Your spears.
12 You tread down the land in anger, threshed the heathen in displeasure.
13 You went forth for the salvation of Your people, for salvation with Your Anointed. You have wounded the head of the House of the wicked, and uncovered it, foundation to neck. Selah.
12 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was; who had died and whom He had raised from the dead.
2 There they made Him a supper, and Martha served. But Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of Spikenard (very costly) and anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Then one of His disciples who would betray him, Judas Iscariot (son of Simon) said,
5 “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denari and given to the poor?”
6 Now, he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and held that which was given.
7 Then Jesus said, “Let her alone. She kept it for the day of My burying.
8 “For the poor you have with you always. But Me you shall not have always.”
9 Then many of the Jews knew that He was there. And they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
10 Therefore, the chief priests consulted, so that they might put Lazarus to death also,
11 because many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus because of him.
