Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
121 1 This Psalm teacheth that the faithful ought only to look for help at God, 7 who only doth maintain, preserve and prosper his Church.
A song of degrees.
1 I will lift up mine eyes [a]unto the mountains, from whence my help shall come.
2 Mine help cometh from the Lord, which hath made the [b]heaven and the earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to slip: for he that keepeth thee, will not [c]slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not [d]smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall keep thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy [e]going out, and thy coming in from henceforth and forever.
4 Hearken ye unto me my people, and give ear unto me, O my people: for a [a]Law shall proceed from me, and I will bring forth my judgment for the light of the people.
5 My [b]righteousness is near: my salvation goeth forth, and mine [c]arm shall judge the people: the isles shall wait for me, and shall trust unto mine arm.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the [d]heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein, shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken unto me ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my Law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their rebukes.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wood: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
7 1 Of the Centurion’s servant. 9 The Centurion’s faith. 11 The widow’s son raised from death at Nain. 19 John sendeth his disciples to Christ. 33 His peculiar kind of living. 37 The sinful woman washeth Jesus’ feet.
1 When (A)[a]he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain Centurion’s servant was sick and ready to die, which was dear unto him.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the Elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come, and heal his servant.
4 So they came to Jesus, and besought him instantly, saying that he was worthy that he should do this for him:
5 For he loveth, said they, our nation, and he hath built us a Synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them: but when he was now not far from the house, the Centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore I thought not myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be whole:
8 For I likewise am a man set under authority, and have under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh: and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned him, and said to the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 And when they that were sent, turned back to the house, they found the servant that was sick, whole.
