Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁵ For God alone, O ^(A)my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
^6 (B)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
⁷ On God rests my ^(C)salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, ^(D)my refuge is God.
^8 (E)Trust in him at all times, O people;
    ^(F)pour out your heart before him;
    God is ^(G)a refuge for us. Selah
^9 (H)Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate ^(I)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    ^(J)they are together lighter than a breath.
¹⁰ Put no trust in extortion;
    ^(K)set no vain hopes on robbery;
    ^(L)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
^11 (M)Once God has spoken;
    ^(N)twice have I heard this:
that ^(O)power belongs to God,
¹²     and that to you, O Lord, ^(P)belongs steadfast love.
For you will ^(Q)render to a man
    according to his work.

^14 (A)Cursed be the day
    on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
    let it not be blessed!
¹⁵ Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father,
“A son is born to you”,
    ^(B)making him very glad.
¹⁶ Let that man be like ^(C)the cities
    that the Lord overthrew without pity;
^(D)let him hear a cry in the morning
    and an alarm at noon,
^17 (E)because he did not kill me in the womb;
    so my mother would have been my grave,
    and her womb for ever great.
^18 (F)Why did I come out from the womb
    ^(G)to see toil and sorrow,
    and spend my days in shame?
