Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Yahweh, Save Me
A Psalm of David. When [a]he fled from Absalom his son.
3 O Yahweh, how (A)my adversaries have become many!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying [b]of my soul,
“There is no (B)salvation for him in God.” [c]Selah.
3 But You, O Yahweh, are (C)a shield about me,
My (D)glory, and the One who (E)lifts my head.
4 I was calling to Yahweh with my voice,
And He (F)answered me from (G)His holy [d]mountain. Selah.
5 [e]I (H)lay down and slept;
I awoke, for Yahweh sustains me.
6 I will (I)not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who all around (J)have set themselves against me.
12 “Woe to him who (A)builds a city with bloodshed
And founds a town with injustice!
13 Is it not, behold, from Yahweh of hosts
That peoples (B)toil for fire,
And nations grow weary for nothing?
14 For the earth will be (C)filled
With the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh,
As the waters cover the sea.
15 “Woe to you who make [a]your neighbors drink,
Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk
So as to look on their nakedness!
16 You will be filled with disgrace rather than glory.
Now you yourself (D)drink and [b]expose your own nakedness.
The (E)cup in Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you,
And (F)utter disgrace will come upon your glory.
17 For the (G)violence [c]done to Lebanon will cover you,
And the devastation of its beasts [d]by which you terrified them,
(H)Because of human bloodshed and (I)violence [e]done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
18 “What (J)profit is the graven image when its maker has engraved it,
Or a molten image, a (K)teacher of [f]lies?
For its maker (L)trusts in his own making
When he fashions speechless idols.
19 Woe to him who (M)says to a piece of wood, ‘(N)Awake!’
To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
And that is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with (O)gold and silver,
And there is (P)no breath at all inside it.
20 But (Q)Yahweh is in His holy temple.
[g]Let all the earth (R)be silent before Him.”
The Barren Fig Tree
12 (A)And on the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry. 13 And seeing at a distance a fig tree that had leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And He answered and said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples were listening.
20 (A)And as they were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 And being reminded, Peter *said to Him, “(B)Rabbi, look, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered and *said to them, “(C)Have faith in God. 23 (D)Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says [a]is going to happen, it will be granted him. 24 For this reason I say to you, (E)all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.
