Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

62 For God alone ^(B)my soul ^(C)waits in silence;
    from him comes my salvation.
^2 (D)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my ^(E)fortress; ^(F)I shall not be greatly shaken.
³ How long will all of you attack a man
    to batter him,
    like ^(G)a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
⁴ They only plan to thrust him down from his ^(H)high position.
    They take pleasure in falsehood.
^(I)They bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse. Selah
⁵ For God alone, O ^(J)my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
^6 (K)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
⁷ On God rests my ^(L)salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, ^(M)my refuge is God.
^8 (N)Trust in him at all times, O people;
    ^(O)pour out your heart before him;
    God is ^(P)a refuge for us. Selah
^9 (Q)Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate ^(R)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    ^(S)they are together lighter than a breath.
¹⁰ Put no trust in extortion;
    ^(T)set no vain hopes on robbery;
    ^(U)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
^11 (V)Once God has spoken;
    ^(W)twice have I heard this:
that ^(X)power belongs to God,
¹²     and that to you, O Lord, ^(Y)belongs steadfast love.
For you will ^(Z)render to a man
    according to his work.

⁹ From ^(A)the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel;
    there they have continued.
    Shall not the war against the unjust^[a] overtake them in Gibeah?
^10 (B)When I please, ^(C)I will discipline them,
    and nations shall be gathered against them
    when they are bound up for ^(D)their double iniquity.
¹¹ Ephraim was a trained calf
    that ^(E)loved to thresh,
    and I spared her fair neck;
but I will put ^(F)Ephraim to the yoke;
    ^(G)Judah must plough;
    Jacob must harrow for himself.
^12 (H)Sow for yourselves righteousness;
    reap steadfast love;
    ^(I)break up your fallow ground,
for it is the time to seek the Lord,
    that he may come and ^(J)rain righteousness upon you.
^13 (K)You have ploughed iniquity;
    you have reaped injustice;
    you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your own way
    and in the multitude of your warriors,
¹⁴ therefore ^(L)the tumult of war shall arise among your people,
    and all your fortresses shall be destroyed,
as ^(M)Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle;
    ^(N)mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
¹⁵ Thus it shall be done to you, O ^(O)Bethel,
    because of your great evil.
At dawn ^(P)the king of Israel
    shall be utterly cut off.
