Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
19 But You, O Yahweh, (A)be not far off;
O my Strength, (B)hasten to my help.
20 Deliver my [a]soul from (C)the sword,
My (D)only life from the [b]power of the dog.
21 Save me from the mouth of the (E)lion;
From the horns of the (F)wild oxen You (G)have answered me.
22 I will surely (H)recount Your name to my brothers;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
23 (I)You who fear Yahweh, praise Him;
All you seed of Jacob, (J)glorify Him,
And (K)stand in awe of Him, all you seed of Israel.
24 For He has (L)not despised and He has not abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
And He has not (M)hidden His face from him;
But (N)when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
25 Of You is (O)my praise in the great assembly;
I shall (P)pay my vows before those who fear Him.
26 The [c]afflicted will eat and (Q)be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will (R)praise Yahweh.
May your (S)heart live forever!
27 All the (T)ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh,
And all the (U)families of the nations will worship before [d]You.
28 For the (V)kingdom is Yahweh’s
And He (W)rules over the nations.
Separation from Yahweh
59 Behold, (A)the hand of Yahweh is not so short
That it cannot save;
(B)Nor is His ear so [a]dull
That it cannot hear.
2 But your (C)iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,
And your sins have hidden His [b]face from you so that He does (D)not hear.
3 For your (E)hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken a (F)lie;
Your tongue mutters unrighteousness.
4 (G)No one calls in righteousness, and (H)no one seeks justice in truth.
They (I)trust in [c]confusion and speak worthlessness;
They (J)conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness.
5 They break open vipers’ eggs and (K)weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a snake breaks forth.
6 Their webs will not become a garment,
Nor will they (L)cover themselves with their works;
Their (M)works are works of wickedness,
And a (N)deed of violence is in their [d]hands.
7 (O)Their feet run to evil,
And they are quick to shed innocent blood;
(P)Their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness;
Devastation and destruction are in their highways.
8 They do not know the (Q)way of peace,
And there is (R)no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
(S)Whoever treads on [e]them does not know peace.
27 And as Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, [a]crying out, “Have mercy on us, (A)Son of David!” 28 And when He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus *said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They *said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “[b]It shall be done to you (B)according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus (C)sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows about this!” 31 But they went out and (D)spread the news about Him throughout all that land.
32 Now as they were going out, behold, (E)a mute, (F)demon-possessed man [c]was brought to Him. 33 And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, “(G)Nothing like this has [d]ever been seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees were saying, “He (H)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”
