Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
24 O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom, You have made them all. The Earth is full of Your riches!
25 So great and wide is the sea; in which are innumerable creeping things, both small beasts and great.
26 Thereupon go the ships, and therein plays that Leviathan, whom You have made.
27 All these wait upon You, so that You may give them food in due season.
28 You give it to them, and they gather it. You open Your hand, and they are filled with good things.
29 If You hide Your face, they are troubled. If You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 You send forth Your spirit, and they are created; You renew the face of the Earth.
31 Glory be to the LORD forever. Let the LORD rejoice in His works!
32 He looks on the Earth and it trembles. He touches the mountains and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life. I will praise my God while I live.
34 Let my words be acceptable to Him. I will rejoice in the LORD.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the Earth, and the wicked, until there are no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!
7 “So will I make My Holy Name known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not allow them to pollute My Holy Name anymore. And the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
8 “Behold, it has come, and it is done,” says the Lord GOD, “and this is the day of which I have spoken.
21 “And I will set My Glory among the heathen. And all the heathen shall see My judgment that I have executed, and My Hand which I have laid upon them.
22 “So the House of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day forward.
23 “And the heathen shall know that the House of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against Me. Therefore, I hid My Face from them and gave them into the hand of their enemies. So, they all fell by the sword.
24 “According to their uncleanness, and according to their transgressions, I have done to them, and hidden My Face from them.”’
25 “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Now will I bring back the captives of Jacob, and have compassion upon the whole House of Israel, and will be jealous for My Holy Name,
26 ‘after they have borne their shame and all their transgression by which they have transgressed against Me, when they dwelt safely in their land and without fear of anyone.
27 ‘When I have brought them back from the people and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands and am sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations,
28 ‘then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, Who caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen. But I have gathered them to their own land and have left none of them there anymore.
29 ‘Nor will I hide My Face from them anymore. For I have poured out My Spirit upon the House of Israel,’ says the Lord GOD.”
26 Likewise, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know what to pray as we should. But the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with unutterable sighs.
27 But He Who searches the hearts, knows the meaning of the Spirit. For He intercedes for the Saints according to the will of God.
