Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of Your compassions, put away my iniquities.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity; and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my iniquities; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against You, against You only, have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be just when You speak and pure when You judge.
5 Behold, I was born in iniquity; and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You love truth to the core. Therefore, You have taught me wisdom in my core.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness; so that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your Face from my sins; and put away all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings upon the altar.
21 And the LORD smelled a savor of rest. And the LORD said in His heart, “Henceforth, I will no longer curse the ground because of man. For the imagination of man’s heart is evil, even from his youth. Nor will I strike all things living anymore, as I have done.
22 “Hereafter, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and Summer and Winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as the Earth remains.”
9 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Bring forth fruit, and multiply, and replenish the Earth.
2 “Also, the fear of you, and the dread of you, shall be upon every beast of the Earth, and upon every bird of the heaven, upon all that moves on the Earth, and upon all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered.
3 “Everything that moves and lives shall be food for you. Just as the green herb, I have given you all things.
4 But, flesh with the life thereof — with the blood thereof — you shall not eat.
5 For I will surely require your blood, wherein are your lives. At the hands of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man, at the hand of a man’s brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God has He made man.
7 But, bring forth fruit and multiply. Grow plentifully on the Earth; and increase therein.
11 “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for His sheep.
12 “But the hired servant (who is not the shepherd, nor are the sheep his own) sees the wolf coming and he leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep.
13 “So the hired servant flees because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
14 “I am the Good Shepherd, and know My own, and am known by My own.
15 “As the Father knows Me, so I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
16 “I have other sheep also, which are not of this fold. I must also bring them. And they shall hear My voice. And there shall be one sheepfold, with one Shepherd.
17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again.
18 “No one takes it from Me. But I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down and have authority to take it again. I have received this Commandment from My Father.”
19 Again, there was a dissension among the Jews because of these sayings.
20 And many of them said, ‘He has a demon, and is insane. Why listen to Him?’
21 Others said, ‘These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?’
