Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Psalm 67
All Will Praise God
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us;
look on us with favor(A)
2 so that Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.(B)
20 “Come, gather together,
and draw near, you fugitives of the nations.
Those who carry their wooden idols,
and pray to a god who cannot save,(A)
have no knowledge.(B)
21 Speak up and present your case[a](C)—
yes, let them take counsel together.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, Yahweh?
There is no other God but Me,
a righteous God and Savior;(D)
there is no one except Me.(E)
22 Turn to Me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth.
For I am God,
and there is no other.
23 By Myself I have sworn;(F)
Truth has gone from My mouth,(G)
a word that will not be revoked:
Every knee will bow(H) to Me,
every tongue will swear allegiance.
24 It will be said to Me: Righteousness and strength
is only in the Lord.”
All who are enraged against Him
will come to Him and be put to shame.(I)
25 All the descendants of Israel
will be justified and find glory through the Lord.
Preparation for the Bowl Judgments
15 Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring sign[a] in heaven:(A) seven angels with the seven last plagues, for with them, God’s wrath will be completed.(B) 2 I also saw something like a sea of glass(C) mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, his image,[b] and the number of his name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God.[c](D) 3 They sang the song of God’s servant Moses(E) and the song of the Lamb:
Great and awe-inspiring are Your works,
Lord God, the Almighty;
righteous and true are Your ways,
King of the Nations.[d]
4 Lord, who will not fear
and glorify Your name?
Because You alone are holy,
for all the nations will come
and worship before You
because Your righteous acts
have been revealed.
