Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
8 Praise[a] our God, you nations.
Loudly proclaim his praise.[b]
9 He preserves our lives[c]
and does not allow our feet to slip.
10 For[d] you, O God, tested us;
you purified us like refined silver.
11 You led us into a trap;[e]
you caused us to suffer.[f]
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads;
we passed through fire and water,
but you brought us out into a wide open place.[g]
13 I will enter[h] your temple with burnt sacrifices;
I will fulfill the vows I made to you,
14 which my lips uttered
and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer up to you fattened animals as burnt sacrifices,
along with the smell of sacrificial rams.
I will offer cattle and goats. (Selah)
16 Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God.[i]
I will declare what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him for help[j]
and praised him with my tongue.[k]
18 If I had harbored sin in my heart,[l]
the Lord would not have listened.
19 However, God heard;
he listened to my prayer.
20 God deserves praise,[m]
for[n] he did not reject my prayer
or abandon his love for me.[o]
13 In Noah’s six hundred and first year,[a] in the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth, and Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that[b] the surface of the ground was dry. 14 And by the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth[c] was dry.
15 Then God spoke to Noah and said, 16 “Come out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out with you all the living creatures that are with you. Bring out[d] every living thing, including the birds, animals, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Let them increase[e] and be fruitful and multiply on the earth!”[f]
18 Noah went out along with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives. 19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, every bird, and everything that moves on the earth went out of the ark in their groups.
27 “Peace I leave with you;[a] my peace I give to you; I do not give it[b] to you as the world does.[c] Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.[d] 28 You heard me say to you,[e] ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad[f] that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.[g] 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.[h]
