Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

146 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

² I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

³ Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

⁶ Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

⁷ Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

⁸ Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

⁹ Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

¹⁰ Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

33 Wo, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish, O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee.

² O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity.

³ From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine exaltation scattered have been nations.

⁴ And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running on it.

⁵ Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,

⁶ And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah -- it [is] His treasure.

⁷ Lo, `Their Ariel,' they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly.

⁸ Desolated have been highways, Ceased hath he who passeth along the path, He hath broken covenant, He hath despised enemies, He hath not esteemed a man.

⁹ Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel.

²¹ And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,

²² and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, `Deal kindly with me, Sir -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'

²³ And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying -- `Let her away, because she crieth after us;'

²⁴ and he answering said, `I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'

²⁵ And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, help me;'

²⁶ and he answering said, `It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'

²⁷ And she said, `Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'

²⁸ then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁹ And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,

³⁰ and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,

³¹ so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
