Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
130 Out of the deep places have I called to You, O LORD.
2 LORD, hear my voice. Let Your ears attend to the voice of my prayers.
3 If You, O LORD, straightly mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand?
4 But mercy is with You, so that You may be feared.
5 I have waited on the LORD. My soul has waited; and I have trusted in His word.
6 My soul waits on the LORD more than the morning watch watches for the morning.
7 Let Israel wait on the LORD, for with the LORD is mercy and with Him is great redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of Solomon
8 “But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and bring forth your fruit to My people of Israel; for they are ready to come.
9 “For behold, I come to you; and I will turn to you; and you shall be tilled and sown.
10 “And I will multiply the men upon you, all the House of Israel wholly. And the cities shall be inhabited; and the desolate places shall be built.
11 “And I will multiply man and beast upon you. And they shall increase and bring fruit. And I will cause you to dwell as you once did; and I will bestow benefits upon you more than at first. And you shall know that I am the LORD.
12 “Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, My people Israel, and they shall possess you; and you shall be their inheritance; and you shall henceforth no longer deprive them.”
13 ‘Thus says the LORD: “Because they say to you, ‘You devour men and have wasted your people,’
14 “therefore you shall no longer devour men or henceforth waste your people,” says the Lord GOD.’
15 “Nor will I allow men to hear the shaming of the heathen anymore. Nor shall you bear the reproach of the people anymore. Nor shall you cause your people to fall anymore,” says the Lord GOD.’”
44 And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you - that all which is written of Me in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, must be fulfilled.
45 Then He opened their minds, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 And said to them, “Thus is it written. And thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day,
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 “Now, you are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are filled with power from on high.”
50 Afterward, He led them out into Bethany, and lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 And it happened that, as He blessed them, He departed from them and was carried up into Heaven.
52 And they worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
