Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

²⁴ What variety there is in your works, Adonai!
How many [of them there are]!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creations.

²⁵ Look at the sea, so great, so wide!
It teems with countless creatures,
living beings, both large and small.
²⁶ The ships are there, sailing to and fro;
Livyatan, which you formed to play there.

²⁷ All of them look to you
to give them their food when they need it.
²⁸ When you give it to them, they gather it;
when you open your hand, they are well satisfied.
²⁹ If you hide your face, they vanish;
if you hold back their breath, they perish
and return to their dust.
³⁰ If you send out your breath, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
³¹ May the glory of Adonai last forever!
May Adonai rejoice in his works!
³² When he looks at the earth, it trembles;
when he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke.
³³ I will sing to Adonai as long as I live,
sing praise to my God all my life.
³⁴ May my musings be pleasing to him;
I will rejoice in Adonai.

Halleluyah!

44 “Now listen, Ya‘akov my servant,
Isra’el whom I have chosen:
² Thus says Adonai, who made you,
formed you in the womb, and will help you:
Don’t be afraid, Ya‘akov my servant,
Yeshurun, whom I have chosen.
³ For I will pour water on the thirsty land
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit on your descendants,
my blessing on your offspring.
⁴ They will spring up among the grass
like willows on the riverbanks.
