Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

^24 [a]How countless are your works, O Lord;
    by your wisdom you have made them all;
    the earth abounds with your creatures.
²⁵ There is the sea, vast and broad,
    filled with numberless species,
    living creatures both great and small.
²⁶ There the ships sail forth,
    and the Leviathan^[b] that you formed to play therein.
^27 [c]All of them look to you
    to give them their food at the appropriate time.^[d]
28 [e]When you provide it for them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are filled with good things.
²⁹ When you turn away your face,^[f]
    they are dismayed;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.
³⁰ When you send forth your Spirit,^[g]
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the earth.
^31 [h]May the glory of the Lord abide forever,
    and may the Lord rejoice in his works.^[i]
32 When he looks at the earth, it quakes;
    when he touches the mountains, they smoke.^[j]
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;^[k]
    I will sing praise to my God while I have life.
³⁴ May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    for I find my joy in the Lord.

³⁵ May sinners be banished from the earth,
    and may the wicked no longer exist.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.^[a]
Alleluia.

I will send you
    grain and wine and oil,
    and you will have all you need.
Never again will I expose you
    to the contempt of the nations.
²⁰ I shall drive the northern army far from you
    and banish them to an arid and desolate land,
with their vanguard toward the eastern sea,^[a]
    and their rearguard toward the western sea.
They will give off a stench,
    and a foul stench will rise up.
²¹ Fear not, O land;
    be glad and rejoice,
    for the Lord has done great things.
²² Be not afraid, you beasts of the field,
    for the open pastures are green once again.
The trees will bear fruit;
    the fig tree and the vine will yield a full harvest.
²³ O children of Zion, be glad,
    and rejoice in the Lord, your God.
For he has given you food in good measure
    by sending you rain,
    the autumn and spring rains as before.
²⁴ The threshing floors will be full of grain,
    and the vats will overflow with wine and oil.
²⁵ I will repay you for the years
    that the swarming locust has eaten,
the hopping, the destroying, and the cutting locust,
    my great army which I sent against you.
²⁶ You will eat until you are satisfied,
    and you will praise the name of the Lord, your God,
for he has dealt wondrously with you,
    and my people will never again be put to shame.
²⁷ And you shall know
    that I am in the midst of Israel.
I am the Lord, your God, and there is no other;
    my people shall never again be put to shame.
