Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁵ Our God, you save us,
and your fearsome deeds answer
    our prayers for justice!
You give hope to people
everywhere on earth,
    even those across the sea.
⁶ You are strong,
and your mighty power
    put the mountains in place.
⁷ You silence the roaring waves
and the noisy shouts
    of the nations.
⁸ People far away marvel
    at your fearsome deeds,
and all who live under the sun
celebrate and sing
    because of you.

⁹ You take care of the earth
and send rain to help the soil
    grow all kinds of crops.
Your rivers never run dry,
and you prepare the earth
    to produce abundant grain.
¹⁰ You water all its fields
    and level the lumpy ground.
You send showers of rain
to soften the soil
    and help the plants sprout.
¹¹ Wherever your footsteps
touch the earth,
    a rich harvest is gathered.
¹² Desert pastures blossom,
    and mountains celebrate.
¹³ Meadows are filled
    with sheep and goats;
valleys overflow with grain
    and echo with joyful songs.

⁶ You heard what I said,
and you have seen it happen.
    Now admit it's true!
I will show you secrets
    you have never known.
⁷ Today I am doing something new,
something you cannot say
    you have heard before.
⁸ You have never been willing
    to listen to what I say;
from the moment of your birth,
    I knew you would rebel.
