Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

^11 (A)Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
^[a]Unite my heart to fear Your name.
¹² I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify Your name forevermore.
¹³ For great is Your mercy toward me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of ^[b]Sheol.

¹⁴ O God, the proud have risen against me,
And a mob of violent men have sought my life,
And have not set You before them.
¹⁵ But ^(B)You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

¹⁶ Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give Your strength to Your servant,
And save the son of Your maidservant.
¹⁷ Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

^18 (A)They do not know nor understand;
For ^(B)He has ^[a]shut their eyes, so that they cannot see,
And their hearts, so that they cannot ^(C)understand.
¹⁹ And no one ^(D)considers in his heart,
Nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say,
“I have burned half of it in the fire,
Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals;
I have roasted meat and eaten it;
And shall I make the rest of it an abomination?
Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”
²⁰ He feeds on ashes;
^(E)A deceived heart has turned him aside;
And he cannot deliver his soul,
Nor say, “Is there not a ^(F)lie in my right hand?”
