Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
31 In You, O LORD, have I put my trust. Let me never be confounded. Deliver me in Your righteousness.
2 Bow down Your ear to me. Make haste to deliver me. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress. Therefore, direct me and guide me for Your Name’s sake.
4 Draw me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me. For You are my strength.
5 Into Your hand I commend My spirit. For You have redeemed me, O LORD God of Truth.
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You; and done to those who trust in You before the sons of men!
20 You hide them from the pride of men in the secret place of Your presence. You keep them secretly in Your Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD. For He has shown His marvelous kindness toward me in a strong city.
22 Though I said in my haste, “I am cast out of Your sight!” Still, You heard the voice of my prayer when I cried to You.
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful and abundantly repays the proud.
24 All you who trust in the LORD, be strong; and He shall establish your heart. A Psalm of David, to give instruction.
30 “Now when all these things shall come upon you (the blessing or the curse which I have set before you) and you shall turn into your heart among all the nations where the LORD your God has driven you,
2 “and shall return to the LORD your God and obey His Voice in all that I command you this day (you and your children) with all your heart and with all your soul,
3 “then the LORD your God will cause your captives to return, and have compassion upon you, and will return to gather you out of all the people where the LORD your God has scattered you.
4 “Though you were cast to the utmost part of Heaven, from there will the LORD your God gather you. And from there will He take you.
5 “And the LORD your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed. And you shall possess it. And He will show you favor and will multiply you above your fathers.
6 Notwithstanding, it cannot be that the Word of God should take no effect. For not all are Israel who are of Israel.
7 Nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham. But: “In Isaac shall your seed be called.”
8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
9 For this is a Word of Promise: “At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son”;
10 and not only her, but Rebecca also, when she had conceived by one, even by our Father, Isaac.
11 For before the children were born - and when they had done neither good nor evil (so that the purpose of God might remain according to election; not by works, but by Him Who calls) -
12 it was said to her: “The Elder shall serve the younger.”
13 As it is written: “I have loved Jacob and have hated Esau.”
