Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁹ Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and the unjust speech,

¹⁰ and thou proffer thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in the darkness, and thine obscurity be as midday;

¹¹ and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a water-spring, whose waters deceive not.

¹² And they [that come] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations [that have remained] from generation to generation; and thou shalt be called, Repairer of the breaches, restorer of frequented paths.

¹³ If thou turn back thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy [day] of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [idle] words;

¹⁴ then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah, and I will cause thee to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

[A Psalm] of David.

103 Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!

² Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

³ Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;

⁴ Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

⁵ Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

⁶ Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.

⁷ He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

⁸ Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

¹⁸ For ye have not come to [the mount] that might be touched and was all on fire, and to obscurity, and darkness, and tempest,

¹⁹ and trumpet's sound, and voice of words; which they that heard, excusing themselves, declined [the] word being addressed to them any more:

²⁰ (for they were not able to bear what was enjoined: And if a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;

²¹ and, so fearful was the sight, Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and full of trembling;)

²² but ye have come to mount Zion; and to [the] city of [the] living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels,

²³ the universal gathering; and to [the] assembly of the firstborn [who are] registered in heaven; and to God, judge of all; and to [the] spirits of just [men] made perfect;

²⁴ and to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant; and to [the] blood of sprinkling, speaking better than Abel.

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him that speaks. For if those did not escape who had refused him who uttered the oracles on earth, much more we who turn away from him [who does so] from heaven:

²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once will *I* shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.

²⁷ But this Yet once, signifies the removing of what is shaken, as being made, that what is not shaken may remain.

²⁸ Wherefore let us, receiving a kingdom not to be shaken, have grace, by which let us serve God acceptably with reverence and fear.

²⁹ For also our God [is] a consuming fire.

¹⁰ And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

¹¹ And lo, [there was] a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.

¹² And Jesus, seeing her, called to [her], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

¹³ And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

¹⁴ But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which [people] ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

¹⁵ The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading [it] away, water [it]?

¹⁶ And this [woman], who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

¹⁷ And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed; and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him.
