AUGUST 10


PSALMS: 10, 40, 70, 100, 130

PROVERBS: 10

OLD TESTAMENT: LAMENTATIONS 3:1 - 66

NEW TESTAMENT: HEBREWS 1:1 - 14


PSALMS: 10

1 Why do you stand far off, LORD?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? 
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak;
They are caught in the schemes that they devise. 
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings,
He blesses the greedy, and condemns the LORD. 
4 The wicked, in the pride of his face,
Has no room in his thoughts for God. 
5 His ways are prosperous at all times;
He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight:
As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them. 
6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken;
For generations I shall have no trouble." 
7  His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.
Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. 
8 He lies in wait near the villages.
From ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless.
He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
10 The helpless are crushed, they collapse,
They fall under his strength. 
11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten.
He hides his face. He will never see it." 
12 Arise, LORD! God, lift up your hand!
Don't forget the helpless. 
13 Why does the wicked condemn God,
And say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?" 
14 But you do see trouble and grief;
You consider it to take it into your hand.
You help the victim and the fatherless. 
15 Break the arm of the wicked.
As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none. 
16 The LORD is King forever and ever!
The nations will perish out of his land. 
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble.
You will prepare their heart.
You will cause your ear to hear, 
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
That man who is of the eretz may terrify no more.


PSALMS: 40

1 I waited patiently for the LORD.
He turned to me, and heard my cry. 
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand. 
3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust,
And doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 
5 Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,
And your thoughts which are toward us.
They can't be set in order to you;
If I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered. 
6 Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire.
My ears have you opened:
Burnt offering and sin offering have you not required. 
7 Then I said, "Behold, I have come.
It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8 I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart."
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know. 
10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.
I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly. 
11 Don't withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me. 
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me.
My iniquities have overtaken me,
so that I am not able to look up.
They are more than the hairs of my head.
My heart has failed me. 
13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, LORD. 
14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together
who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and
brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt. 
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!"
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let such as love your salvation say continually,
"Let the LORD be exalted!"
17 But I am poor and needy;
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Don't delay, my God.


PSALMS: 70

1 Hurry, God, to deliver me.
Come quickly to help me, LORD.
2 Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek my soul.
Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. 
3 Let them be turned because of their shame
Who say, "Aha! Aha!" 
4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your yeshu`ah continually say,
"Let God be exalted!" 
5 But I am poor and needy.
Come to me quickly, God.
You are my help and my deliverer,
LORD, don't delay.


PSALMS: 100

1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all you lands! 
2 Serve the LORD with gladness.
Come before his presence with singing. 
3 Know that the LORD, he is God.
It is he who has made us, and we are his.
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
Into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, and bless his name. 
5 For the LORD is good.
His loving kindness endures forever,
His faithfulness to all generations.


PSALMS: 130

1 Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD. 
2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions. 
3 If you, the LORD, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand? 
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
Therefore you are feared. 
5 I wait for the LORD.
My soul waits.
I hope in his word. 
6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning;
More than watchmen for the morning. 
7 Yisra'el, hope in the LORD,
For with the LORD there is loving kindness.
With him is abundant redemption. 
8 He will redeem Yisra'el from all their sins.


PROVERBS: 10

1 The proverbs of Shlomo.
A wise son makes a glad father;
But a foolish son brings grief to his mother. 
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
But righteousness delivers from death. 
3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,
But he thrusts away the desire of the wicked. 
4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
But the hand of the diligent brings wealth. 
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son,
But he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame. 
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 
7 The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot. 
8 The wise in heart accept mitzvot,
But a chattering fool will fall.
9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
But he who perverts his ways will be found out. 
10 One winking with the eye causes sorrow,
But a chattering fool will fall. 
11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 
12Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers all wrongs. 
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,
But a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding. 
14 Wise men lay up knowledge,
But the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. 
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city.
The destruction of the poor is their poverty. 
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life.
The increase of the wicked leads to sin. 
17  He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
But he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. 
18 He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool. 
19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
But he who restrains his lips does wisely. 
20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth. 
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
22 The blessing of the LORD brings wealth,
And he adds no trouble to it. 
23 It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness,
But wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure. 
24 What the wicked fear, will overtake them,
But the desire of the righteous will be granted. 
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;
But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. 
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
So is the sluggard to those who send him. 
27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days,
But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 
28 The prospect of the righteous is joy,
But the hope of the wicked will perish. 
29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 
30 The righteous will never be removed,
But the wicked will not dwell in the land. 
31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
But the perverse tongue will be cut off. 
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
But the mouth of the wicked is perverse.


OLD TESTAMENT: LAMENTATIONS 3:1 - 66

3:1 I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 
2 He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
3 Surely against me he turns his hand again and again all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones.
5 He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He has made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. 
7 He has walled me about, that I can't go forth; he has made my chain heavy. 
8 Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer. 
9 He has walled up my ways with hewn stone; he has made my paths crooked. 
10 He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places. 
11 He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he has made me desolate. 
12 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 
13 He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins. 
14 I am become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day. 
15 He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood. 
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he has covered me with ashes. 
17 You have removed my soul far off from shalom; I forgot prosperity. 
18 I said, My strength is perished, and my expectation from the LORD. 
19 Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 
20 My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me. 
21 This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope. 
22 [It is of] the LORD's lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn't fail. 
23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 
24 The LORD is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 
25 The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. 
26 It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. 
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him. 
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope. 
30 Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled full with reproach. 
31 For the Lord will not cast off forever. 
32 For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. 
33 For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. 
34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the eretz, 
35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of Ha`Elyon, 
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn't approve. 
37 Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn't command it? 
38 Doesn't evil and good come out of the mouth of Ha`Elyon? 
39 Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? 
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. 
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens. 
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned. 
43 You have covered with anger and pursued us; you have killed, you have not pitied. 
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through. 
45 You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples. 
46 All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us. 
47 Fear and the pit are come on us, devastation and destruction. 
48 My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. 
49 My eye pours down, and doesn't cease, without any intermission, 
50 Until the LORD look down, and see from heaven. 
51 My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city. 
52 They have chased me sore like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause. 
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me. 
54 Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off. 
55 I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon. 
56 You heard my voice; don't hide your ear at my breathing, at my cry. 
57 You drew near in the day that I called on you; you said, Don't be afraid. 
58 Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life. 
59 LORD, you have seen my wrong; judge you my cause. 
60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me. 
61 You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their devices against me,
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. 
63 See you their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song. 
64 You will render to them a recompense, LORD, according to the work of their hands. 
65 You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them. 
66 You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.


NEW TESTAMENT: HEBREWS 1:1 - 14

1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 
2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. 
3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 
4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have. 
5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son, Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, And he will be to me a Son?" 
6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him." 
7 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, And his servants a flame of fire." 
8 but of the Son he says, "Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, your God, has anointed you With the oil of gladness above your fellows." 
10 And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the eretz. The heavens are the works of your hands. 
11 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 As a mantle you will roll them up. And they will be changed. But you are the same. Your years will not fail." 
13 But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?" 
14 Aren't they all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

 John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, F that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.G 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
