Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh
Of David.
26 (A)Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have (B)walked in my integrity,
And I have (C)trusted in Yahweh; (D)I will not waver.
2 (E)Test me, O Yahweh, and try me;
(F)Refine my [a]mind and my heart.
3 For Your (G)lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have (H)walked in Your [b]truth.
4 I do not (I)sit with worthless men,
And I will not go with [c](J)pretenders.
5 I (K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall (L)wash my hands in innocence,
So I will go around (M)Your altar, O Yahweh,
7 In order to proclaim with the voice of (N)thanksgiving
And to recount all Your [d]wondrous deeds.
Jeremiah Pleads for Vengeance
10 (A)Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me
As a (B)man of strife and a man of contention to all the land!
I have not (C)lent, nor have men lent money to me,
Yet everyone curses me.
11 Yahweh said, “Surely I will (D)set you free for purposes of good;
Surely I will cause the (E)enemy to intercede with you
In a time of disaster and a time of distress.
12 “Can anyone smash iron,
(F)Iron from the north, or bronze?
13 Your (G)wealth and your treasures
I will give for plunder (H)without cost,
Even for all your sins
And within all your borders.
14 Then I will cause your enemies to pass [a]it over
Into a (I)land you do not know,
For a (J)fire has been kindled in My anger;
It will burn upon you.”
Peter’s Mother-in-Law and Many Others Healed
14 (A)When Jesus came into Peter’s [a]home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. 15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and began [b]waiting on Him. 16 Now when evening came, they brought to Him many (B)who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and (C)healed all who were ill 17 in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “(D)He Himself took our infirmities and [c]carried away our diseases.”
