Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
146 Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 I will praise the LORD during my life. As long as I have any being, I will sing to my God.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, for there is no help in him.
4 His breath departs. He returns to his earth. Then, his thoughts perish.
5 Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help; whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that therein is. Who keeps his fidelity forever.
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
8 The LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up the crooked. The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD keeps the strangers. He relieves the fatherless and widow; but He overthrows the way of the wicked.
10 The LORD shall reign forever! O Zion, your God endures from generation to generation. Praise the LORD!
32 Behold, a King shall reign in justice, and the princes shall rule in judgment.
2 A man shall be like a hiding place from the wind, and a refuge from the storm, as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the ears of those who hear, shall listen.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall understand knowledge. And the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak distinctly.
5 No more shall a foolish person be called noble, nor the scoundrel generous.
6 But the fool will speak foolishness, and his heart will work iniquity, and do wickedly, and speak falsely against the LORD, to make the hungry soul empty, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 For the weapons of the scoundrel are wicked. He devises wicked counsels to undo the poor with lying words, and to speak against the poor in judgment.
8 But the generous man will devise generous things. And he will continue his generosity.
12 For as many as have sinned without the Law, shall also perish without the Law. And as many as have sinned in the Law, shall be judged by the Law,
13 (For the hearers of the Law are not righteous before God. But the doers of the Law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, who do not have the Law, instinctively do the things contained in the Law, then they - not having the Law - are a Law unto themselves,
15 who show the effect of the Law written on their hearts; their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing)
16 on the day when God shall judge the secrets of man by Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
