Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Let Us Kneel Before Yahweh Our Maker
95 Oh come, let us (A)sing for joy to Yahweh,
Let us make a loud shout to (B)the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us (C)come before His presence (D)with [a]thanksgiving,
Let us make a loud shout to Him (E)with songs of praise.
3 For Yahweh is a (F)great God
And a great King (G)above all gods,
4 In whose hand are the (H)depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
5 [b]The sea is His, for it was He (I)who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
Yahweh Forgives and Redeems
21 “(A)Remember these things, O Jacob,
And Israel, for you are (B)My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant;
O Israel, you will (C)not be forgotten by Me.
22 I have (D)wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud
And your sins like a cloud.
(E)Return to Me, for I have (F)redeemed you.”
23 (G)Shout for joy, O heavens, for Yahweh has done it!
Make a loud shout, you lower parts of the earth;
(H)Break forth into a shout of joy, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it;
For (I)Yahweh has redeemed Jacob
And in Israel He (J)shows forth His beautiful glory.
24 Thus says Yahweh, your (K)Redeemer, and the one who (L)formed you from the womb,
“I, Yahweh, am the maker of all things,
(M)Stretching out the heavens by Myself
And spreading out the earth [a]all alone,
25 (N)Causing the [b]omens of boasters to be annulled,
And [c]making fools out of diviners,
(O)Causing wise men to turn back,
And [d]making foolishness out of their knowledge,
26 (P)Confirming the word of His servant—
And the counsel of His messengers He will complete—
And being the One who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’
And of the (Q)cities of Judah, ‘(R)They shall be built.’
And I will raise up her waste places again.
27 It is I who says to the depth of the sea, ‘Be dried up!’
And I will make your rivers (S)dry.
28 It is I who says of (T)Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd!
And all My good pleasure he will complete.’
And saying of Jerusalem, ‘(U)She will be built,’
And of the temple, ‘[e]Your foundation will be laid.’”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
46 (A)While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His (B)mother and (C)brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. 47 [a]Now someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.” 48 But [b]Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
