1 LORD,
our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the eretz,
Who
has set your glory above the heavens!
2 From
the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
Because
of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the
avenger.
3
When
I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
The
moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 What
is man, that you think of him?
The
son of man, that you care for him?
5 For
you have made him a little lower than God,
And
crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You
make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You
have put all things under his feet:
7 All
sheep and oxen,
Yes,
and the animals of the field,
8 The
birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
And
whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 LORD,
our Lord,
How
majestic is your name in all the eretz!
Neither
is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
10 My
heart throbs. My strength fails me.
As
for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My
lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague.
My
kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They
also who seek after my life lay snares.
Those
who seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
And
meditate deceits all day long.
13 But
I, as a deaf man, don't hear.
I
am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
14 Yes,
I am as a man who doesn't hear,
In
whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For
in you, LORD, do I hope.
You
will answer, Lord my God.
16 For
I said, "Don't let them gloat over me,
Or
exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17
For I am ready to fall.
My
pain is continually before me.
18 For
I will declare my iniquity.
I
will be sorry for my sin.
19 But
my enemies are vigorous and many.
Those
who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 They
who also render evil for good are adversaries to me,
Because
I follow what is good.
21 Don't
forsake me, LORD.
My
God, don't be far from me.
22 Hurry
to help me,
Lord,
my salvation.
PSALMS:
68
Let
his enemies be scattered!
Let
them who hate him also flee before him.
As
wax melts before the fire,
So
let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Extol
him who rides on the clouds -- To the LORD, his name!
Rejoice
before him.
He
brings out the prisoners with singing,
But
the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
The
sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai --
At
the presence of God, the God of Yisra'el.
The
wings of a dove sheathed with silver,
Her
feathers with shining gold.
At
the mountain where God chooses to reign?
Yes,
the LORD will dwell there forever.
The
Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
You
have led away captives.
You
have received gifts among men,
Yes,
among the rebellious also,
that
the LORD God might dwell there.
The
hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
I
will bring you again from the depths of the sea;
23
That
you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood,
That
the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."
24 They
have seen your goings, God,
Even
the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 The
singers went before, the minstrels followed after,
In
the midst of the ladies playing with timbrels,
26"Bless
God in the congregations,
Even
the Lord in the assembly of Yisra'el!"
27 There
is little Binyamin, their ruler,
The
princes of Yehudah, their council,
The
princes of Zevulun, and the princes of Naftali.
28 Your
God has commanded your strength.
Strengthen,
God, that which you have done for us.
29 Because
of your temple at Yerushalayim,
Kings
shall bring presents to you.
30 Rebuke
the wild animal of the reeds,
The
multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples.
Being
humbled, may it bring bars of silver.
Scatter
the nations that delight in war.
31 Princes
shall come out of Mitzrayim.
Kush
shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32 Sing
to God, you kingdoms of the eretz!
Sing
praises to the Lord!
Selah.
33 To
him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old;
Behold,
he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe
strength to God!
His
excellency is over Yisra'el,
His
strength is in the skies.
35 You
are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries.
The
God of Yisra'el gives strength and power to his people.
Praise
be to God!
PSALMS:
98
For
he has done marvelous things!
His
right hand, and his holy arm,
have
worked salvation for him.
He
has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
and
his faithfulness toward the house of Yisra'el.
All
the ends of the eretz have seen the yeshu`ah of our God.
For
he comes to judge the eretz.
He
will judge the world with righteousness,
And
the peoples with equity.
In
the innermost parts of your house;
Your
children like olive plants, Around your table.
And
may you see the good of Yerushalayim all the days of your life.
I
hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
Nor
the beginning of the dust of the world.
That
the waters should not violate his mitzvah,
When
he marked out the foundations of the eretz;
OLD
TESTAMENT:
JEREMIAH 51:54 - 52:324
51:54 The
sound of a cry from Bavel, and of great destruction from the land of
the Kasdim! 55 For
the LORD lays Bavel waste, and destroys out of her the great voice;
and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is
uttered: 56 for
the destroyer is come on her, even on Bavel, and her mighty men are
taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for the LORD is a God of
recompenses, he will surely requite. 57 I
will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her
deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual
sleep, and not wake up, says the King, whose name is the LORD of
Hosts. 58 Thus
says the LORD of hosts: The broad walls of Bavel shall be utterly
overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the
peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and
they shall be weary. 59 The
word which Yirmeyahu the prophet commanded Serayah the son of
Neriyah, the son of Mechaseyah, when he went with Tzidkiyahu the
king of Yehudah to Bavel in the fourth year of his reign. Now
Serayah was chief chamberlain. 60 Yirmeyahu
wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Bavel, even all
these words that are written concerning Bavel. 61Yirmeyahu
said to Serayah, When you come to Bavel, then see that you read all
these words, 62 and
say, LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off,
that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor animal, but that it
shall be desolate forever. 63 It
shall be, when you have made an end of reading this book, that you
shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the
Perat: 64 and
you shall say, Thus shall Bavel sink, and shall not rise again
because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they shall be
weary. Thus far are the words of Yirmeyahu.
52:1 Tzidkiyahu
was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned
eleven years in Yerushalayim: and his mother's name was Hamutal the
daughter of Yirmeyahu of Livna. 2 He
did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all
that Yehoiakim had done. 3 For
through the anger of the LORD did it happen in Yerushalayim and
Yehudah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Tzidkiyahu
rebelled against the king of Bavel. 4 It
happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the
tenth day of the month, that Nevukhadretztzar king of Bavel came, he
and all his army, against Yerushalayim, and encamped against it; and
they built forts against it round about. 5 So
the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Tzidkiyahu. 6 In
the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore
in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the
land. 7
Then
a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went
forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the
two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Kasdim were
against the city round about;) and they went toward the
`Aravah. 8 But
the army of the Kasdim pursued after the king, and overtook
Tzidkiyahu in the plains of Yericho; and all his army was scattered
from him. 9 Then
they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Bavel to
Rivlah in the land of Hamat; and he gave judgment on him. 10 The
king of Bavel killed the sons of Tzidkiyahu before his eyes: he
killed also all the princes of Yehudah in Rivlah. 11 He
put out the eyes of Tzidkiyahu; and the king of Bavel bound him in
fetters, and carried him to Bavel, and put him in prison until the
day of his death. 12 Now
in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the
nineteenth year of king Nevukhadretztzar, king of Bavel, came
Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of
Bavel, into Yerushalayim: 13 and
he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the
houses of Yerushalayim, even every great house, burned he with
fire. 14 All
the army of the Kasdim, who were with the captain of the guard,
broke down all the walls of Yerushalayim round about. 15 Then
Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the
poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left
in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Bavel,
and the residue of the multitude. 16 But
Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the
land to be vineyard keepers and farmers. 17
The pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the
bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the
Kasdim break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to
Bavel. 18 The
pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and
the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered,
took they away. 19 The
cups, and the fire pans, and the basins, and the pots, and the
menorot, and the spoons, and the bowls-that which was of gold, in
gold, and that which was of silver, in silver,-the captain of the
guard took away. 20 The
two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were
under the bases, which king Shlomo had made for the house of the
LORD. The brass of all these vessels was without weight. 21
As
for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits;
and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness of it
was four fingers: it was hollow. 22 A
capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was
five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital round
about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and
pomegranates. 23 There
were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were
one hundred on the network round about. 24The
captain of the guard took Serayah the chief Kohen, and Tzefanyah the
second Kohen, and the three keepers of the threshold: 25 and
out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war;
and seven men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in
the city; and the Sofer of the captain of the host, who mustered the
people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who
were found in the midst of the city. 26 Nevuzar'adan
the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of
Bavel to Rivlah. 27 The
king of Bavel struck them, and put them to death at Rivlah in the
land of Hamat. So Yehudah was carried away captive out of his
land. 28 This
is the people whom Nevukhadretztzar carried away captive: in the
seventh year three thousand twenty-three Yehudim; 29 in
the eighteenth year of Nevukhadretztzar he carried away captive from
Yerushalayim eight hundred thirty-two persons; 30 in
the three and twentieth year of Nevukhadretztzar Nevuzar'adan the
captain of the guard carried away captive of the Yehudim seven
hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and
six hundred. 31 It
happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of
Yehoiakim king of Yehudah, in the twelfth month, in the five and
twentieth day of the month, that Evil-Merodakh king of Bavel, in the
[first] year of his reign, lifted up the head of Yehoiakim king of
Yehudah, and brought him forth out of prison; 32
and
he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the
kings who were with him in Bavel, 33 and
changed his prison garments. [Yehoiakim] ate bread before him
continually all the days of his life: 34 and
for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the
king of Bavel, every day a portion until the day of his death, all
the days of his life.

TESTAMENT:
TITUS 3:1 - 15
1 Remind
them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be
obedient, to be ready to every good work,
2 to
speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing
all humility toward all men.
3 For
we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various
lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating
one another.
4 But
when the kindness of God, our Savior, and his love toward man,
appeared,
5 not
by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to
his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and
renewing by the Ruach HaKodesh,
6 which
he poured out on us richly, through Yeshua the Messiah, our Savior;
7 that,
being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to
the hope of eternal life.
8 This
saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you
affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may
be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and
profitable to men;
9 but
shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about
the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Avoid
a factious man after a first and second warning;
11 knowing
that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12 When
I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to
Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 Send
Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey diligently, that
nothing may be lacking for them.
14 Let
our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses,
that they may not be unfruitful.
15 All
who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be
with you all. Amein.
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."
