Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
8 Bless our God, you peoples,
And [a](A)sound His praise abroad,
9 Who [b](B)keeps us in life,
And (C)does not allow our feet to [c]slip.
10 For You have (D)put us to the test, God;
You have (E)refined us as silver is refined.
11 You (F)brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon [d]us.
12 You made men (G)ride over our heads;
We went through (H)fire and through water.
Yet You (I)brought us out into a place of abundance.
13 I shall (J)come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall (K)pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was (L)in distress.
15 I shall (M)offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals,
With the smoke of (N)rams;
I shall make an offering of [e]bulls with male goats. Selah
16 (O)Come and hear, all who [f]fear God,
And I will (P)tell of what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And [g]He was (Q)exalted with my tongue.
18 If I [h](R)regard wickedness in my heart,
The (S)Lord will not hear;
19 But (T)God has heard;
He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.
20 (U)Blessed be God,
Who (V)has not turned away my prayer
Nor His favor from me.
13 Now it came about in the (A)six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the water was dried up [a]from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the [b]surface of the ground had dried up. 14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every crawling thing that crawls on the earth, that they may [c](B)breed abundantly on the earth, and (C)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him. 19 Every animal, every crawling thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out [d]by their families from the ark.
27 (A)Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. (B)[a]Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor [b]fearful. 28 (C)You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and (D)I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced [c]because (E)I am going to the Father, for (F)the Father is greater than I. 29 And now (G)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.
