Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

15 LORD, who shall dwell in Your Tabernacle? Who shall rest on Your Holy Mountain?

² He who walks uprightly and works righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart;

³ he who does not slander with his tongue, nor do evil to his neighbor, nor receive a false report against his neighbor;

⁴ in whose eyes a vile person is despised; but honors those who fear the LORD. He who swears to his own injury yet does not change.

⁵ He who does not give his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. Michtam of David.

¹⁸ “You shall make yourself judges and officers in all your cities which the LORD your God gives you, throughout the tribes. And they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

¹⁹ “Do not pervert the Law or show partiality or take reward. For the reward blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the just.

²⁰ “That which is just and right you shall follow, so that you may live and possess the land which the LORD your God gives you.

⁸ Finally, all of you be of one mind; compassionate, loving as brothers, merciful, friendly,

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, nor rebuke for rebuke. On the contrary, bless. Know that you are called to this so that you could be heirs of blessing.

¹⁰ For “if anyone longs after life (and to see good days), let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

¹¹ “Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.

¹² “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears towards their prayers. And the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
