Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.

61 Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

² From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

³ For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

⁴ I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

⁵ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

⁶ Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

⁷ He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

⁸ So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

15 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah, king of Judah, began to reign.

² He was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

³ And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

⁴ Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

⁵ And Jehovah smote the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.

⁶ And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁷ And Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;

⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

⁸ Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.

⁹ Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,

¹⁰ nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

¹¹ But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.

¹² And as ye enter into a house salute it.

¹³ And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
