Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
24 How (A)numerous are Your works, O Yahweh!
[a]In (B)wisdom You have made them all;
The (C)earth is full of Your [b]possessions.
25 This is the (D)sea, great and [c]broad,
There the creeping things are without number,
Creatures both small and great.
26 There the (E)ships move along,
And [d](F)Leviathan, which You have formed to play in it.
27 They all (G)wait for You
To (H)give them their food in [e]due season.
28 You give to them, they gather it up;
You (I)open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 You (J)hide Your face, they are dismayed;
You (K)take away their [f]spirit, they breathe their last
And (L)return to their dust.
30 You send forth Your [g](M)Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground.
31 Let the (N)glory of Yahweh endure forever;
Let Yahweh (O)be glad in His works;
32 [h]He (P)looks at the earth, and it (Q)trembles;
He (R)touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 [i]I will sing to Yahweh (S)throughout my life;
[j]I will (T)sing praise to my God [k]while I have my being.
34 Let my (U)musing be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall (V)be glad in Yahweh.
7 “And My (A)holy name I will make known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not let My holy name be (B)profaned anymore. And the (C)nations will know that I am Yahweh, the (D)Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it is coming, and it shall be done,” declares Lord Yahweh. “That is the day of which I have spoken.
21 “And I will put My (A)glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed and My hand which I have placed on them. 22 And the house of Israel will (B)know that I am Yahweh their God from that day onward. 23 And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their (C)iniquity because they acted unfaithfully against Me, and I (D)hid My face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword. 24 (E)According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I dealt with them, and I hid My face from them.”’”
Israel Will Live in Security
25 Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, “Now I will return the [a](F)fortunes of Jacob and have compassion on the whole (G)house of Israel; and I will be (H)jealous for My holy name. 26 So they will [b](I)forget their dishonor and all their unfaithfulness which they [c]perpetrated against Me, when they (J)live securely on their own land with (K)no one to make them tremble. 27 When I (L)return them from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall (M)prove Myself holy [d]through them in the sight of the many nations. 28 Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then collected them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer. 29 And I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have (N)poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” declares Lord Yahweh.
26 And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness, for (A)we do not know how to pray as we should, but (B)the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and (C)He who searches the hearts knows what (D)the mind of the Spirit is, because He (E)intercedes for the [a]saints according to the will of God.
