Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
²     in you, O my God, I trust.
Do not let me be put to shame,
    or permit my enemies to gloat over me.
³ No one who places his hope in you
    will ever be put to shame,
but shame will be the lot of all
    who break faith without justification.
^4 [c]Make your ways known to me, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
⁵ Guide me in your truth and instruct me,
    for you are God, my Savior,
    and in you I hope all the day long.
⁶ Be mindful, O Lord, that mercy and kindness
    have been yours from of old.
⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth
    or my many transgressions,
but remember me in your kindness,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.
^8 [d]Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore, he instructs sinners in his ways.
⁹ He guides the humble in what is right
    and teaches them the path to follow.
¹⁰ The ways of the Lord^[e] are kindness and truth
    for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.

¹⁶ “For God so loved the world
that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may attain eternal life.
¹⁷ “For God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world
but in order that the world might be saved through him.
¹⁸ Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe in him
already stands condemned,
because he has not believed in the name
of the only-begotten Son of God.
¹⁹ “And the judgment is this:
the light has come into the world,
but people preferred darkness to light
because their deeds were evil.
²⁰ Everyone who does evil hates the light
and avoids coming near the light
so that his misdeeds may not be exposed.
²¹ However, whoever lives by the truth
comes to the light
so that it may be clearly seen
that his deeds have been done
in God.”
