Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
72 Give Your judgments to the King, O God, and Your righteousness to the King’s Son.
2 He shall judge Your people in righteousness, and Your poor with equity.
3 The mountains and the hills shall bring peace to the people by justice.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people. He shall save the children of the needy and shall subdue the oppressor.
5 They shall fear You as long as the Sun and Moon endure, from generation to generation.
6 He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass, as the showers that water the Earth.
7 In His days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace shall be so long as the Moon endures.
8 Also, His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the land.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before Him; and His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish, and of the isles, shall bring presents. The kings of Sheba, and Seba, shall bring gifts.
11 Indeed, all kings shall worship Him. All nations shall serve Him.
12 For He shall deliver the poor when He cries, the needy also, and he who has no helper.
13 He shall be merciful to the poor and needy and shall preserve the souls of the poor.
14 He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence, and their blood shall be dear in His sight.
15 Indeed, He shall live; and to Him shall they give of the gold of Sheba. Also, they shall pray for Him continually and daily bless Him.
16 A handful of grain shall be sown in the Earth, in the top of the mountains. The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and the children out of the city shall flourish like the grass of the Earth.
17 His name shall be forever. His name shall endure as long as the Sun. All nations shall bless Him and be blessed in Him.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be His glorious Name forever. And let all the Earth be filled with His Glory. So be it, even so be it.
20 Here ends the prayers of David, the son of Jesse. A Psalm committed to Asaph
10 Then the LORD turned the fortunes of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Also, the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then all his brothers came to him, and all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, and ate bread with him in his house, and had compassion on him, and comforted him for all the misery that the LORD had brought upon him. And every man gave him a piece of money, and everyone an earring of gold.
12 So the LORD blessed the last days of Job more than the first. For he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13 He also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of one, Jemimah, and the name of the second, Keziah, and the name of the third, Keren-Happuch.
15 In all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
16 And after this, Job lived a hundred forty years, and saw his sons and his son’s sons, for four generations.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
16 “No one, when he lights a candle, hides it under a vessel, or puts it under the bed. But he sets it on a candlestick, so that those who enter may see the light.
17 “For nothing is secret that shall not be evident. Nor is anything hidden that shall not be known, and come to light.
18 “Therefore, watch how you hear. For whoever has, to him shall be given. And whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 Then his mother and his brothers came to Him. And they could not come near to Him because of the crowd.
20 And someone said to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, and wish see You.”
21 But He answered, and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are those who hear the Word of God and do it.”
