Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
CAPH.
81 ¶ My soul faints with desire for thy salvation as I await thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy spoken word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 ¶ For I am become like a wine skin in the smoke; yet I have not forgotten thy statutes.
84 ¶ How many are the days of thy slave? When wilt thou execute judgment on those that persecute me?
85 ¶ The proud have dug pits for me, but they do not proceed according to thy law.
86 All thy commandments are of the same truth; they persecute me wrongfully; help me.
87 They have almost consumed me upon earth, but I have not forsaken thy precepts.
88 ¶ Cause me to live according to thy mercy, so I shall keep the testimony of thy mouth.
14 ¶ Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD, that it shall no longer be said, The LORD lives, that caused the sons of Israel to come up out of the land of Egypt;
15 but, The LORD lives, that caused the sons of Israel to come up out of the land of the north wind, and from all the lands where he had driven them; and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
16 Behold, I send many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after, will I send many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17 For my eyes are upon all their ways, which they have not hid from me, neither does their iniquity hide from the presence of my eyes.
18 But first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double because they have defiled my land with the carcasses of their abominations, and they have filled my inheritance with abominable things.
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the time of the affliction; Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things in which there is no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself? But they shall not be gods.
21 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know this time; I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
7 ¶ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, of the tabernacles, was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart from this place and go into Judea that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For no one who seeks to be clearly known does anything in secret. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 For not even his brethren believed in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
