Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

^13 (B)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
¹⁴ From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
¹⁵ He fashions their hearts individually;
^(C)He ^[a]considers all their works.

^16 (D)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
^17 (E)A horse is a ^[b]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

^18 (F)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
¹⁹ To deliver their soul from death,
And ^(G)to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
²¹ For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
²² Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

⁶ “Your ^(A)right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
⁷ And in the greatness of Your ^(B)excellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth ^(C)Your wrath;
It ^(D)consumed them ^(E)like stubble.
⁸ And ^(F)with the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
^(G)The floods stood upright like a heap;
The depths ^[a]congealed in the heart of the sea.
^9 (H)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will ^(I)divide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.’
¹⁰ You blew with Your wind,
The sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹ “Who^(J) is like You, O Lord, among the ^[b]gods?
Who is like You, ^(K)glorious in holiness,
Fearful in ^(L)praises, ^(M)doing wonders?
