Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of Your compassions, put away my iniquities.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity; and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my iniquities; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against You, against You only, have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be just when You speak and pure when You judge.
5 Behold, I was born in iniquity; and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You love truth to the core. Therefore, You have taught me wisdom in my core.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness; so that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your Face from my sins; and put away all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence; and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation; and establish me with Your free Spirit.
13 Then I shall teach Your ways to the wicked; and sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue shall sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, O LORD, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16 For You desire no sacrifice, though I would give it. You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit. A contrite and a broken heart, O God, You will not despise.
18 Be favorable to Zion for Your good pleasure. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shall You accept the sacrifices of righteousness, the burnt offering and oblation. Then shall they offer calves upon Your altar. To him who excels: A Psalm of David to give instruction, when Doeg the Edomite came and showed Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
58 “If you will not keep and do all the words of the Law that are written in this Book, and fear this glorious and fearful Name: THE LORD YOUR GOD,
59 “Then the LORD will make your plagues extraordinary. And the plagues of your seed will be great prolonged plagues and terrible diseases of long duration.
60 “Moreover, He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid. And they shall cling to you.
61 “And every sickness and every plague which is not written in the Book of this Law will the LORD heap upon you, until you are destroyed.
62 “And you shall be left few in number, where you were as the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not obey the Voice of the LORD your God.
63 “And as the LORD has rejoiced over you, to do you good, and to multiply you, so He will rejoice over you, to destroy you, and bring you to nothing. And you shall be rooted out of the land to which you go to possess.
64 “And the LORD shall scatter you among all people, from the one end of the world to the other. And there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
65 “Also, you shall find no rest among these nations. Nor shall the sole of your foot have rest. For the LORD shall give you a trembling heart there, and failing eyes, and a sorrowful mind.
66 “And your life shall hang in doubt before you. And you shall fear both night and day and shall have no assurance of your life.
67 “In the morning, you shall say, ‘If only it were evening’, and at evening you shall say, ‘I wish it were morning’, because of the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and because of the sight of your eyes which you shall see.
68 “And the LORD shall bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, ‘You shall see it no more again.’ And there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, with no buyers.”
29 These are the words of the Covenant which the LORD Commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the Covenant which He had made with them in Horeb.
17 “But when the time of the promise which God had sworn to Abraham drew near, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt.
18 “Until another King arose who did not know Joseph.
19 “The same dealt craftily with our kindred, and mistreated our fathers, and made them abandon their young children, so that they would not live.
20 “At the same time, Moses was born, and was acceptable to God. He was nursed in his father’s house for three months.
21 “And when he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and brought him up as her own son.
22 “And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and in deeds.
23 “Now when he was fully forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24 “And when he saw one of them being wronged, he defended him, and avenged the one who had been harmed, and killed the Egyptian.
25 “For he assumed that his brothers would have understood that God, by His hand, would give them deliverance. But they did not understand that.
26 “And the next day, he showed himself to them as they fought, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong each other?’
27 “But the one who had wronged his neighbor thrust him away, saying, ‘Who made you a prince and a judge over us?
28 ‘Will you kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 “Then Moses fled at those words, and was a stranger in the land of Midian, where he had two sons.
