Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁹ Be gracious to me, O Lord, for ^(A)I am in distress;
My ^(B)eye is wasted away from grief, ^(C)my soul and my body also.
¹⁰ For my life is spent with ^(D)sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My ^(E)strength has failed because of my iniquity,
And ^(F)my ^[a]body has wasted away.
¹¹ Because of all my adversaries, I have become a ^(G)reproach,
Especially to my ^(H)neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.
¹² I am ^(I)forgotten as a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.
¹³ For I have heard the ^[b](J)slander of many,
^(K)Terror is on every side;
While they ^(L)took counsel together against me,
They ^(M)schemed to take away my life.

¹⁴ But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,
I say, “^(N)You are my God.”
¹⁵ My ^(O)times are in Your hand;
^(P)Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
¹⁶ Make Your ^(Q)face to shine upon Your servant;
^(R)Save me in Your lovingkindness.

¹⁰ But the Lord was pleased
To ^(A)crush Him, ^[a](B)putting Him to grief;
If ^[b]He would render Himself as a guilt ^(C)offering,
He will see ^(D)His ^[c]offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the ^[d]good ^(E)pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
¹¹ As a result of the ^[e]anguish of His soul,
He will ^(F)see ^[f]it and be satisfied;
By His ^(G)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will ^(H)bear their iniquities.
¹² Therefore, I will allot Him a ^(I)portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out ^[g](J)Himself to death,
And was ^(K)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself ^(L)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
