Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
57 Have mercy upon me, O God. Have mercy upon me, for my soul trusts in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will trust till afflictions pass over.
2 I will call to the Most High God, the God Who performs toward me.
3 He will send from Heaven and save me from the reproof of him who would swallow me. Selah. God will send His mercy and His truth.
4 My soul is among lions; I lie among the children of men, who are set on fire; whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heaven. Let Your Glory be upon all the Earth.
6 They have laid a net for my steps. My soul is pressed down; they have dug a pit before me and have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
7 My heart is prepared, O God. My heart is prepared. I will sing and give praise!
8 Awake, my tongue! Awake, viol and harp! I will awake early!
9 I will praise You, O LORD, among the people. I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy is great unto the heavens; Your Truth unto the clouds!
11 Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heavens! Let Your Glory be upon all the Earth! To him who excels: Do not destroy. A Psalm of David, on Michtam
36 So Abigail came to Nabal. And behold, he made a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore, she told him nothing, neither less nor more, until the morning arose.
37 Then, in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him those words. And his heart died within him. And he was like a stone.
38 And about ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
39 Now when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the LORD, Who has judged the cause of my rebuke of the hand of Nabal and has kept His servant from evil! For the LORD has repaid the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head!” Also, David sent to commune with Abigail, to take her as his wife.
40 And when the servants of David had come to Abigail, to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David sent us to you, to take you as his wife.”
41 And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, let your handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
42 And Abigail hurried and arose and rode upon a donkey. And her five maids followed her. And she went after the messengers of David and was his wife.
39 And He came out and went to the mount of Olives (as was His custom). And His disciples also followed Him.
40 And when He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray, lest you enter into trial.”
41 And He was drawn aside from them (about a stone’s cast) and kneeled down and prayed,
42 saying, “Father. If You will, take away this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not My will. But Yours be done.”
43 And an angel from Heaven appeared to Him, to comfort Him.
44 But being in an agony, He prayed more earnestly. And His sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground.
45 And He rose up from prayer, and came to His disciples, and found them asleep from sorrow.
46 And He said to them, “Why do you sleep?! Rise and pray, lest you enter into trial.”
