Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹ A psalm of David, for a memorial.
² Adonai, do not rebuke me in Your anger
or discipline me in Your wrath.
³ For Your arrows have sunk deep into me
and Your hand has pressed down on me.
⁴ There is no health in my flesh because of Your indignation.
There is no wholeness in my bones because of my sin.
⁵ For my iniquities are on my head—
    like a burden too heavy for me.
⁶ My wounds are foul and festering
    because of my foolishness.
⁷ I am bent over, bowed down greatly.
All day I walk about in mourning.
⁸ For my heart is filled with burning pain,
and there is no health in my body.
⁹ I am numb and utterly crushed.
I groan because of anguish in my heart.
¹⁰ My Lord, all my longing is before You,
and my sighing is not hidden from You.
¹¹ My heart pounds, my strength fails me.
The light of my eyes—also, not with me.

4 But at the end of days
the mountain of Adonai’s House will be established as chief of the mountains,
and will be raised above the hills.
Peoples will flow up to it.
² Then many nations will go and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of Adonai,
    to the House of the God of Jacob!
Then He will direct us in His ways,
    and we will walk in His paths.”
For Torah will go forth from Zion,
and the word of Adonai from Jerusalem.
³ He will judge between many peoples
and decide for mighty nations far off.
They will beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning shears.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
    nor will they learn war again.
⁴ But each man will sit under his vine
    and under his fig tree,
    with no one causing terror,
for the mouth of Adonai-Tzva’ot has spoken.
⁵ Though all the peoples will walk
each in the name of his god,
so we ourselves will walk^[a] in the Name of Adonai Eloheinu,
    forever and ever.
