Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
You Forgave the Iniquity of My Sin
Of David. A [a]Maskil.
32 (A)How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
2 How blessed is the man whose iniquity Yahweh (B)will not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is (C)no deceit!
3 When (D)I kept silent about my sin, (E)my [b]bones wasted away
Through my [c](F)groaning all day long.
4 For day and night (G)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My [d](H)vitality was drained away as with the heat of summer. [e]Selah.
5 I (I)acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I (J)did not cover up;
I said, “(K)I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh;”
And You (L)forgave the [f]iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 Therefore, let every holy one pray to You [g](M)at a time when You may be found;
Surely (N)in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.
7 You are (O)my hiding place; You (P)guard me from trouble;
You surround me with [h](Q)songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will (R)give you insight and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you (S)with My eye upon you.
9 Do not be (T)as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,
Whose harness are bit and bridle to control them,
Otherwise they will not come near you.
10 Many are the (U)sorrows of the wicked,
But (V)he who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him.
11 Be (W)glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are (X)upright in heart.
30 “Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them,
‘(A)Yahweh will (B)roar from on high
And give forth His voice from His holy habitation;
He will roar mightily against His [a]pasture.
He will bellow a shout like those who tread the grapes,
Against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A rumbling has come to the end of the earth
Because Yahweh has (C)a contention against the nations.
He is entering into (D)judgment with all flesh;
As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ declares Yahweh.”
32 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Behold, evil is going forth
From (E)nation to nation,
And a great (F)storm is being stirred up
From the remotest parts of the earth.
33 “Those (G)slain by Yahweh on that day will be from one end of the earth to the [b]other. They will (H)not be lamented, gathered, or buried; they will be like (I)dung on the face of the ground.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out;
And (J)roll yourselves in ashes, you masters of the flock;
For the days of your (K)slaughter and your scatterings are being fulfilled,
And you will fall like a desirable vessel.
35 (L)Refuge will perish from the shepherds
And escape from the mighty ones of the flock.
36 Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds,
And the wailing of the mighty ones of the flock!
For Yahweh is destroying their pasture,
37 And the peaceful (M)pastures are made silent
Because of the (N)burning anger of Yahweh.
38 He has forsaken His hiding place (O)like the lion;
For their land has become an object of horror
Because of the burning desire of [c]the oppressor
And because of His burning anger.”
Jesus Drives Merchants from the Temple
45 (A)And Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘(B)And My house shall be a house of prayer,’ (C)but you have made it a robbers’ [a]den.”
47 And (D)He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people (E)were trying to destroy Him, 48 and they could not find [b]anything that they might do, for all the people hung upon [c]every word He said.
