Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In (A)wisdom have you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Here is the sea, great and wide,
(B)which teems with creatures innumerable,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and (C)Leviathan, which you formed to (D)play in it.[a]
27 These (E)all look to you,
to (F)give them their food in due season.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you (G)open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you (H)hide your face, they are (I)dismayed;
when you (J)take away their breath, they die
and (K)return to their dust.
30 When you (L)send forth your Spirit,[b] they are created,
and you (M)renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord (N)endure forever;
may the Lord (O)rejoice in his works,
32 who looks on the earth and it (P)trembles,
who (Q)touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 I will sing to the Lord (R)as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my (S)meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
Israel the Lord's Chosen
44 “But now hear, (A)O Jacob my servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!
2 Thus says the Lord who made you,
(B)who formed you from the womb and will help you:
(C)Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
(D)Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
3 (E)For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
4 They shall spring up among the grass
(F)like willows by flowing streams.
7 (A)Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for (B)whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For (C)the one who sows to his own flesh (D)will from the flesh reap corruption, but (E)the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And (F)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, (G)if we do not give up. 10 So then, (H)as we have opportunity, let us (I)do good to everyone, and especially to those who are (J)of the household of faith.
