Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Praise to the Lord and Warning against Unbelief.
95 Come, let’s (A)sing for joy to the Lord,
Let’s shout joyfully to (B)the rock of our salvation.
2 Let’s (C)come before His presence (D)with a song of thanksgiving,
Let’s shout joyfully to Him (E)in songs with instruments.
3 For the Lord is a (F)great God
And a great King (G)above all gods,
4 In whose hand are the (H)depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are also His.
5 [a]The sea is His, for it was He (I)who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let’s (J)worship and bow down,
Let’s (K)kneel before the Lord our (L)Maker.
7 For He is our God,
And (M)we are the people of His [b](N)pasture and the sheep of His hand.
(O)Today, [c]if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as at [d](P)Meribah,
As on the day of [e](Q)Massah in the wilderness,
9 “When your fathers (R)put Me to the test,
They tested Me, though they had seen My work.
10 For (S)forty years I was disgusted with that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
11 Therefore I (T)swore in My anger,
They certainly shall not enter My (U)rest.”
8 (A)Do not rejoice over me, (B)enemy of mine.
Though I fall I will (C)rise;
Though I live in darkness, the Lord is a (D)light for me.
9 I will endure the rage of the Lord
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He (E)pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the (F)light,
And I will look at His [a](G)righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who (H)said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will look at her;
[b]At that time she will [c]be (I)trampled down
Like mud of the streets.
11 It will be a day for (J)building your walls.
On that day your boundary will be extended.
12 It will be a day when [d]they will (K)come to you
From Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
From Egypt even to the Euphrates River,
Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
13 And the earth will become a (L)wasteland because of her inhabitants,
On account of the (M)fruit of their deeds.
14 (N)Shepherd Your people with Your (O)scepter,
The flock of Your [e]possession
Which lives by itself in the woodland,
In the midst of [f]a fruitful field.
Let them feed in (P)Bashan and Gilead
(Q)As in the days of old.
15 “As in the days when you went out from the land of Egypt,
I will show [g](R)you miracles.”
16 Nations (S)will see and be ashamed
Of all their might.
They will (T)put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.
17 They will (U)lick up dust like a snake,
Like [h](V)reptiles of the earth.
They will come (W)trembling out of their [i]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (X)trepidation,
And they will be afraid of You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (Y)pardons wrongdoing
And passes over a rebellious act of the (Z)remnant of His [j]possession?
He does not (AA)retain His anger forever,
Because He (AB)delights in mercy.
19 He will again take pity on us;
(AC)He will trample on our wrongdoings.
Yes, You will (AD)cast all [k]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give [l](AE)truth to Jacob
And favor to Abraham,
Which You (AF)swore to our forefathers
From the days of old.
26 (A)And after singing a [a]hymn, they went out to (B)the Mount of Olives.
27 (C)And Jesus *said to them, “You will all [b]fall away, because it is written: ‘(D)I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised, (E)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 29 But Peter said to Him, “Even if they all [c]fall away, yet I will not!” 30 And Jesus *said to him, “Truly I say to you, that [d](F)this very night, before (G)a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.” 31 But [e]Peter repeatedly said insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing as well.
