Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh
Of David.
26 (A)Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have (B)walked in my integrity,
And I have (C)trusted in Yahweh; (D)I will not waver.
2 (E)Test me, O Yahweh, and try me;
(F)Refine my [a]mind and my heart.
3 For Your (G)lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have (H)walked in Your [b]truth.
4 I do not (I)sit with worthless men,
And I will not go with [c](J)pretenders.
5 I (K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall (L)wash my hands in innocence,
So I will go around (M)Your altar, O Yahweh,
7 In order to proclaim with the voice of (N)thanksgiving
And to recount all Your [d]wondrous deeds.
8 O Yahweh, I (O)love the habitation of Your house
And the place [e]where Your (P)glory dwells.
9 (Q)Do not [f]take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with (R)men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a (S)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (T)bribes.
11 But as for me, I shall (U)walk in my integrity;
(V)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 (W)My foot stands on (X)level ground;
In the (Y)congregations I shall bless Yahweh.
10 “Because of (A)violence to your brother Jacob,
[a]You will be covered with shame,
(B)And you will be cut off forever.
11 On the day that you (C)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers took his wealth captive
And foreigners entered his gate
And (D)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(E)You too were as one of them.
12 (F)Now do not look on your brother’s day with triumph,
The day of his misfortune.
And (G)do not be glad over the sons of Judah
In the day when they perish;
And (H)do not [b]let your mouth speak great things
In the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
In the (I)day of their disaster.
Indeed, you, do not look on their calamity with triumph
In the day of their disaster.
And do not (J)send out for their wealth
In the day of their disaster.
14 Do not (K)stand at the fork of the road
To cut down those among them who escape;
And do not deliver over their survivors
In the day of their distress.
The Day of Yahweh Is Near
15 “For the (L)day of Yahweh draws near on all the nations.
(M)As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (N)dealings will return on your own head.
16 Because just as you all (O)drank on (P)My holy mountain,
All the nations (Q)will drink continually.
They will drink and [c]swallow,
And they will be as if they never were.
The Seventh Seal
8 When He opened the (A)seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw (B)the seven angels who stand before God, and seven (C)trumpets were given to them.
3 (D)And another angel came and stood at the (E)altar, having a (F)golden censer; and much (G)incense was given to him, so that he might [a]add it to the (H)prayers of all the saints on the (I)golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And (J)the smoke of the incense went up [b]with the prayers of the saints, out of the angel’s hand, before God. 5 Then the angel [c]took the censer and (K)filled it with the fire of the altar, and (L)threw it to the earth; and there followed (M)peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an (N)earthquake.
