Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul,
^{2     (A)}my God, in you I trust;
    do not let me be disgraced;^(B)
    do not let my enemies gloat over me.
³ No one is disgraced who waits for you,^(C)
    but only those who are treacherous without cause.
⁴ Make known to me your ways, Lord;
    teach me your paths.^(D)
5 Guide me by your fidelity and teach me,
    for you are God my savior,
    for you I wait all the day long.
⁶ Remember your compassion and your mercy, O Lord,
    for they are ages old.^(E)
7 Remember no more the sins of my youth;^(F)
    remember me according to your mercy,
    because of your goodness, Lord.

⁸ Good and upright is the Lord,
    therefore he shows sinners the way,
⁹ He guides the humble in righteousness,
    and teaches the humble his way.
¹⁰ All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth
    toward those who honor his covenant and decrees.

¹⁶ But they, our ancestors, proved to be insolent;
    they were obdurate^[a] and did not obey your commandments.
^17 (A)They refused to obey and no longer remembered
    the wonders you had worked for them.
They were obdurate and appointed a leader
    in order to return to their slavery in Egypt.
But you are a forgiving God, gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger and rich in mercy;
    you did not forsake them.
^18 (B)Though they made for themselves a molten calf,
    and proclaimed, ‘Here is your God who brought you up from Egypt,’
    and were guilty of great insults,
¹⁹ Yet in your great mercy
    you did not forsake them in the desert.
By day the column of cloud did not cease to lead them on their journey,
    by night the column of fire did not cease to light the way they were to travel.
^20 (C)Your good spirit you bestowed on them,
    to give them understanding;
Your manna you did not withhold from their mouths,
    and you gave them water in their thirst.
^21 (D)Forty years in the desert you sustained them:
    they did not want;
Their garments did not become worn,
    and their feet did not swell.
^22 (E)You gave them kingdoms and peoples,
    which you divided among them as border lands.
They possessed the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon,
    and the land of Og, king of Bashan.
^23 (F)You made their children as numerous as the stars of the heavens,
    and you brought them into the land
    which you had commanded their ancestors to enter and possess.
²⁴ The children went in to possess the land;
    you humbled before them the Canaanite inhabitants
    and gave them into their power,
Their kings and the peoples of the land,
    to do with them as they wished.
^25 (G)They captured fortified cities and fertile land;
    they took possession of houses filled with all good things,
Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,
    and fruit trees in abundance.
They ate and had their fill,
    fattened and feasted on your great goodness.
