Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
I Will Praise Yahweh Throughout My Life
146 [a]Praise Yah!
(A)Praise Yahweh, O my soul!
2 I will praise Yahweh (B)throughout my life;
I will (C)sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 (D)Do not trust in nobles,
In merely a son of (E)man, in whom there is (F)no salvation.
4 His (G)spirit departs, he (H)returns to [b]the earth;
In that very day his (I)plans perish.
5 How (J)blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose (K)hope is in Yahweh his God,
6 Who (L)made heaven and earth,
The (M)sea and all that is in them;
Who (N)keeps truth forever;
7 Who (O)does justice for the oppressed;
Who (P)gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh (Q)sets the prisoners free.
8 Yahweh (R)opens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh (S)raises up those who are bowed down;
Yahweh (T)loves the righteous;
9 Yahweh (U)keeps the sojourners;
He [c](V)helps up the orphan and the widow,
But He bends (W)the way of the wicked.
10 Yahweh will (X)reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, [d]from generation to generation.
[e]Praise Yah!
17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
And instead of iron I will bring silver,
And instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
And I will make peace your overseers
And righteousness your taskmasters.
18 (A)Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor (B)devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your (C)walls salvation, and your (D)gates praise.
19 No longer will you have the (E)sun for light by day,
Nor for brightness will the moon give you light;
But you will have (F)Yahweh for an everlasting light,
And your (G)God for your [a]glory.
20 Your (H)sun will no longer set,
Nor will your moon wane;
For you will have Yahweh for an everlasting light,
And the days of your (I)mourning will be finished.
21 Then all your (J)people will be righteous;
They will (K)possess the land forever,
The branch of [b]My planting,
The (L)work of My hands,
That I may show forth My (M)beautiful glory.
22 The (N)smallest one will become a [c]clan,
And the miniscule one a mighty nation.
I, Yahweh, will hasten it in its time.”
27 And as Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, [a]crying out, “Have mercy on us, (A)Son of David!” 28 And when He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus *said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They *said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “[b]It shall be done to you (B)according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus (C)sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows about this!” 31 But they went out and (D)spread the news about Him throughout all that land.
32 Now as they were going out, behold, (E)a mute, (F)demon-possessed man [c]was brought to Him. 33 And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, “(G)Nothing like this has [d]ever been seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees were saying, “He (H)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”
