Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
65 O God, praise waits for You in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed.
2 O, You Who hear prayer, to You shall all flesh come!
3 Wicked deeds have prevailed against me. But You will be merciful to our transgressions.
4 Blessed is he whom You choose and cause to come. He shall dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the pleasures of Your House, and of Your Holy Temple.
5 O God of our salvation, You will answer us with fearful signs in Your righteousness. You are the hope of all the ends of the Earth, and of those who are far off in the sea.
6 He establishes the mountains by His power, being clothed with strength.
7 He appeases the noise of the seas, and the noise of the waves thereof, and the tumults of the people.
8 Also, those who dwell in the uttermost parts shall be afraid of Your signs. You shall make the outgoings of the morning and the evening rejoice.
9 You visit the Earth and water it. You make it very rich. The river of God is full of water. You prepare their grain, for so You have appointed it.
10 You water the furrows thereof abundantly. You cause the rain to descend into the valleys thereof. You make it soft with showers and bless the bud thereof.
11 You crown the year with Your goodness; and Your steps drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; and the hills shall be surrounded with gladness.
13 The pastures are clad with sheep. The valleys, also, shall be covered with grain. They shout for joy and sing. To him who excels: A song or psalm
48 “Hear this, O House of Jacob, which is called by the name of Israel and has come out of the waters of Judah, who swears by the Name of the LORD and makes mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth or in righteousness.
2 “For they are called ‘of the holy city’, and lean upon the God of Israel, whose Name is the LORD of Hosts.
3 “I declared the former things long ago. And they went out of My Mouth, and I showed them. I did them suddenly and they came to pass.
4 “Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze.
5 “Therefore, I have declared it to you from the beginning. Before it came to pass, I showed it to you, lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. And my carved image and my molten image has commanded them.’
12 For as many as have sinned without the Law, shall also perish without the Law. And as many as have sinned in the Law, shall be judged by the Law,
13 (For the hearers of the Law are not righteous before God. But the doers of the Law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, who do not have the Law, instinctively do the things contained in the Law, then they - not having the Law - are a Law unto themselves,
15 who show the effect of the Law written on their hearts; their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing)
16 on the day when God shall judge the secrets of man by Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
