Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble. My eye, my soul and my belly are consumed with grief.
10 For my life is wasted with heaviness, and my years with mourning. My strength fails because of my pain; and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all my enemies — but especially among my neighbors — and a fear to my acquaintances. Who, seeing me in the street, fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the railing of great men. Fear was on every side, while they conspired together against me and consulted to take my life.
14 But I trusted in You, O LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your face to shine upon Your servant. Save me through Your mercy.
55 I called upon Your Name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
56 You have heard my voice. Do not hide Your Ear from my sigh, from my cry.
57 You drew near on the day that I called upon You. You said: “Do not fear.”
58 O LORD, You have maintained the cause of my soul, have redeemed my life.
59 O LORD, You have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
60 You have seen all their vengeance, all their devices against me:
61 You have heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me,
62 the lips of those who rose against me, and their continual whispering against me.
63 Behold their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
64 Give them recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart. Your curse be upon them!
66 Persecute with wrath and destroy them from under the heavens, O LORD.
32 And as they were going up to Jerusalem, Jesus went before them. And they were troubled. And as they followed, they were afraid. And Jesus took the twelve again and began to tell them what things would happen to Him,
33 saying, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles.
34 “And they shall mock Him and scourge Him and spit upon Him and kill Him. But the third day, He shall rise again.”
