Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
My Soul Waits for the Lord
A Song of (A)Ascents.
130 Out of (B)the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
(C)Let your ears be attentive
to (D)the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you, O Lord, should (E)mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could (F)stand?
4 But with you there is (G)forgiveness,
(H)that you may be feared.
The Penalty for Israel's Rebellion
34 “And the Lord heard your words and was angered, and he swore, 35 (A)‘Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land that I swore to give to your fathers, 36 (B)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land on which he has trodden, because he has wholly followed the Lord!’ 37 Even with me (C)the Lord was angry on your account and said, ‘You also shall not go in there. 38 (D)Joshua the son of Nun, (E)who stands before you, he shall enter. (F)Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 39 And as for (G)your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today (H)have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it. 40 But as for you, (I)turn, and journey into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea.’
Our Heavenly Dwelling
5 For we know that if (A)the tent that is (B)our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, (C)a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent (D)we groan, longing to (E)put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 if indeed by putting it on[a] we may not be found naked. 4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal (F)may be swallowed up by life. 5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, (G)who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
