Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
1 ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
3 and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
23 ¶ Those that go down to the sea in ships that do work in many waters,
24 these have seen the works of the LORD and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
26 They mount up to the heavens; they go down again to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man, and all of their knowledge is of no avail.
28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivers them out of their afflictions.
29 He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
30 Then they are glad because they are at rest; so he brings them into the haven of his will.
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
37 ¶ At this also my heart trembles and is moved out of its place.
2 Hear attentively his terrible voice and the word that goes out of his mouth.
3 He shall place it straight under the whole of the heavens, and his light shall extend unto the ends of the earth.
4 After it shall the sound roar; his valiant voice shall thunder; and he will not stay them even when his voice is heard.
5 God shall thunder marvelously with his voice; he does great things, which we cannot comprehend.
6 ¶ For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; rain after rain, and rain after rain in his strength.
7 He seals up the hand of every man that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beast shall go into its lair and inhabit its dwelling.
9 Out of the south comes the whirlwind and cold out of the north wind.
10 By the breath of God ice is given; and the broad waters are constrained.
11 In addition to this, with clarity he wearies the thick clouds; and he scatters them with his light.
12 And they are turned round about by his counsels; that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 On some occasions for correction, on others for his land, on others for mercy he causes them to appear.
25 Then there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men’s hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.
