Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Remember Me, O Yahweh
106 [a]Praise Yah!
Oh (A)give thanks to Yahweh, for He (B)is good;
For (C)His lovingkindness endures forever.
2 Who can speak of the (D)mighty deeds of Yahweh,
Or can make all His praise to be heard?
3 How blessed are those who keep [b]justice,
[c]And he who (E)does righteousness at all times!
4 Remember me, O Yahweh, in Your (F)favor [d]toward Your people;
Visit me with Your salvation,
5 That I may see the (G)goodness of Your chosen ones,
That I may (H)rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may (I)boast with Your [e]inheritance.
6 (J)We have sinned (K)with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly.
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not consider Your wondrous deeds;
They (L)did not remember Your abundant lovingkindnesses,
But they (M)rebelled by the sea, at the [f]Red Sea.
8 Yet He saved them (N)for the sake of His name,
That He might (O)make His might known.
9 Thus He (P)rebuked the [g]Red Sea and it (Q)dried up,
And He (R)led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
10 So He (S)saved them from the [h]hand of the one who hated them,
And (T)redeemed them from the [i]hand of the enemy.
11 (U)The waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left.
12 Then they (V)believed His words;
They (W)sang His praise.
Do Not Fear, for I Am with You
41 “(A)Coastlands, listen to Me (B)in silence,
And let the peoples (C)gain new power;
(D)Let them come forward, then let them speak;
(E)Let us draw near together for judgment.
2 (F)Who has awakened one from the east
Whom He (G)calls in righteousness to His [a]feet?
He (H)gives up nations before him
And [b]has dominion over kings.
He makes them like (I)dust with his sword,
As the wind-driven (J)chaff with his bow.
3 He pursues them, passing on in peace,
By a way he had not [c]come with his feet.
4 (K)Who has worked and done it,
Calling forth the generations from the beginning?
‘(L)I, Yahweh, am the first; and with the last, (M)I am He.’”
5 The (N)coastlands have seen and are afraid;
The (O)ends of the earth tremble;
They have drawn near and have come.
6 Each one helps his neighbor
And says to his brother, “Be strong!”
7 So the (P)craftsman strengthens the (Q)smelter,
And he who smooths metal with the hammer strengthens him who beats the anvil,
Saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
And he strengthens it with nails,
(R)So that it will not be shaken.
8 “But you, Israel, (S)My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Seed of (T)Abraham My (U)friend,
9 You whom I have [d](V)strongly taken hold of from the ends of the earth,
And called from its (W)remotest parts
And said to you, ‘You are (X)My servant,
I have (Y)chosen you and not rejected you.
10 Do not (Z)fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will make you mighty, surely (AA)I will help you;
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous (AB)right hand.’
11 Behold, (AC)all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored;
(AD)Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
12 (AE)You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them,
Those who war with you will be as nothing and non-existent.
13 For I am Yahweh your God, (AF)who [e]strongly takes hold of your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘(AG)Do not fear, I will help you.’
Who Is Greatest in Heaven?
18 (A)At that [a]time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “(B)Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And He called a child to Himself and set him [b]before them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you [c]are converted and (C)become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever therefore will humble himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;
