Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
148 Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise Him in the high places!
2 Praise Him, all His angels! Praise Him, all His army!
3 Praise Him, Sun and Moon! Praise Him, all bright stars!
4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
6 And He has established them forever and ever. He has made an ordinance which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the Earth, you dragons and all depths:
8 fire and hail, snow and vapors, stormy wind — which execute His Word —
9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees, and all cedars,10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and feathered birds,
11 kings of the Earth and all people, princes and all judges of the world,
12 young men and maidens, also old men and children.
13 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for only His Name is to be exalted. His praise is above the Earth and the heavens.
14 For He has exalted the horn of His people — a praise for all His saints, for the children of Israel — a people that is near to Him. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD.
32 “Therefore, now listen to me, O children. For blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 “Hear instruction and be wise. And do not refuse it. Blessed is the man who hears me; watching daily at my gates; giving attendance at the posts of my doors.
34 “For whoever finds me, finds life, and shall obtain favor from the LORD.
35 “But whoever sins against me, hurts his own soul. All who hate me, love death.”
19 And this He spoke to signify by what death He would glorify God. And when He had said this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”
20 Then Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following (who had also leaned on His breast at supper, and had said, ‘Lord, which is he who betrays You?’)
21 Therefore, when Peter saw him he said to Jesus, “Lord, what of this man?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I wish him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”
23 Then the word went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet, Jesus did not say to him, ‘He shall not die’, but ‘if I wish him to remain until I come, what is it to you?’
24 This is that disciple who testifies of these things and wrote these things. And we know that his testimony is true.
