Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
19 But be not afar off, O LORD, My strength. Hasten to help Me.
20 Deliver My soul from the sword, my desolate soul from the power of the dog.
21 Save Me from the lion’s mouth; and answer Me in saving Me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare Your Name to My brothers. In the midst of the Congregation will I praise You.
23 Praise the LORD, you who fear Him! Magnify Him, all the seed of Jacob; and fear Him, all the seed of Israel!
24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor. Nor has He hidden His face from Him, but when He called to Him, He heard.
25 My praise shall be of You in the great Congregation. I will perform My vows before those who fear Him.
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied. Those who seek after the LORD shall praise Him. Your heart shall live forever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before You.
28 For the Kingdom is the LORD’s; and He rules among the nations.
59 Behold, the LORD’s Hand is not shortened, that it cannot save. Nor is His Ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have put separation between you and your God. And your sins have hidden His Face from you, so that He will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue has murmured iniquity.
4 No man calls for justice. No man contends for truth. They trust in vanity and speak vain things. They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch viper’s eggs and weave the spider’s web. He who eats of their eggs, dies. And that which is stepped on breaks out into a serpent.
6 Their webs shall be no garment. Nor shall they cover themselves with their labors. Their works are works of iniquity. And the work of cruelty is in their hands.
7 Their feet turn to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are wicked thoughts. Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they do not know. And there is no justice in their ways. They have made themselves crooked paths. Whoever goes in there shall not know peace.
27 And as Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, “O son of David! Have mercy upon us!”
28 And when He had come into the house, the blind came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” And they said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Then, He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith may it be done to you.”
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly instructed them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”
31 But once they had left, they spread the news about Him throughout all that land.
32 And as they went out, behold, they brought to Him a mute man, possessed with a demon.
33 And after the demon had been cast out, the mute spoke. Then the multitude marveled, saying, “Such was never seen in Israel!”
34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons through the prince of demons.”
