Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
5 Hear my words, O LORD. Understand my meditation.
2 Hear the voice of my cry, my King and my God. For to you I pray.
3 Hear my voice in the morning, O LORD. In the morning I will direct myself to You, and I will wait.
4 For You are not a God Who loves wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You.
5 The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all those who work iniquity.
6 You shall destroy those who speak lies. The LORD will abhor the bloody man, and deceitful.
7 But I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy. In Your fear I will worship toward Your Holy Temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies. Make Your way plain before my face.
9 For no constancy is in their mouth. Inside they are very corruption. Their throat is an open sepulcher. They flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy them, O God. Let them fall from their counsels. Cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they have rebelled against You.
11 And let all those who trust in You rejoice, and triumph forever. And cover them. And let those who love Your Name rejoice in You.
12 For You, LORD, will bless the righteous. You will surround him with favor, as with a shield. To him who excels on Neginoth, upon the eight tune: A Psalm of David.
56 Thus says the LORD: “Keep judgment and do justice. For My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.
2 “Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it, he who keeps the Sabbath and does not pollute it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 “And do not let the son of the strangers, who is joined to the LORD, speak and say, ‘The LORD has surely separated me from His people.’ Nor let the eunuch say, ‘Behold, I am a dry tree.’”
4 For thus says the LORD: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose the thing that pleases Me, and take hold of My Covenant,
5 “to them will I give in My House and within My walls, a place and a name better than that of the sons and of the daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be put out.”
6 “Also, the strangers who cling to the LORD, to serve Him, and to love the Name of the LORD, and to be His servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not pollute it and embraces My Covenant,
7 “them I will also bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My House of Prayer. Their Burnt Offerings and their Sacrifices shall be accepted upon My Altar. For My House shall be called a House of Prayer, for all people.”
8 The LORD God, Who gathers the scattered of Israel, says: “I will still gather to them those who are to be gathered to them.”
24 And from there, He rose and went into Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house. And He would have preferred that no one should have known. But He could not be hidden.
25 For a certain woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him and came and fell at His feet
26 And the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by nationality. And she begged Him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children first be fed. For it is not good to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
28 Then she answered, and said to Him, “True, Lord. Indeed, even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.”
29 Then He said to her, “Because you have said this, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 And when she had come home to her house, she found the demon departed, and her daughter lying on the bed.
