Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

95 Oh, come, let us sing to the Lord! Give a joyous shout in honor of the Rock of our salvation!

² Come before him with thankful hearts. Let us sing him psalms of praise. ³ For the Lord is a great God, the great King of^[a] all gods. ⁴ He controls the formation of the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains; all are his. ⁵ He made the sea and formed the land; they too are his. ⁶ Come, kneel before the Lord our Maker, ⁷ for he is our God. We are his sheep, and he is our Shepherd. Oh, that you would hear him calling you today and come to him!

²¹ Pay attention, Israel, for you are my servant; I made you, and I will not forget to help you. ²² I’ve blotted out your sins; they are gone like morning mist at noon! Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.

²³ Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done this wondrous thing. Shout, O earth; break forth into song, O mountains and forests, yes, and every tree; for the Lord redeemed Jacob and is glorified in Israel! ²⁴ The Lord, your Redeemer who made you, says: All things were made by me; I alone stretched out the heavens. By myself I made the earth and everything in it.

²⁵ I am the one who shows what liars all false prophets are, by causing something else to happen than the things they say. I make wise men give opposite advice to what they should and make them into fools. ²⁶ But what my prophets say, I do; when they say Jerusalem will be delivered and the cities of Judah lived in once again—it shall be done! ²⁷ When I speak to the rivers and say, “Be dry!” they shall be dry. ²⁸ When I say of Cyrus,^[a] “He is my shepherd,” he will certainly do as I say; and Jerusalem will be rebuilt and the Temple restored, for I have spoken it.

^46-47 As Jesus was speaking in a crowded house,^[a] his mother and brothers were outside, wanting to talk with him. When someone told him they were there, ⁴⁸ he remarked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” ⁴⁹ He pointed to his disciples. “Look!” he said, “these are my mother and brothers.” ⁵⁰ Then he added, “Anyone who obeys my Father in heaven is my brother, sister, and mother!”
