SEPTEMBER 6



PSALMS: 6, 36, 66, 96, 126


PROVERBS: 6


OLD TESTAMENT: DANIEL 2:24 - 3:30


NEW TESTAMENT: 1 PETER 4:7 - 5:14



PSALMS: 6



1 For the leader.

With stringed instruments.

On sh'minit [low-pitched musical instruments?].

A psalm of David:

ADONAI, don't rebuke me in your anger,

don't discipline me in the heat of your fury. 

2 Be gracious to me, ADONAI,

because I am withering away;

heal me, ADONAI, because my bones are shaking; 

3 I am completely terrified;

and you, ADONAI - how long? 

4 Come back, ADONAI, and rescue me!

Save me for the sake of your grace; 

5 for in death, no one remembers you;

in Sh'ol, who will praise you? 

6 I am worn out with groaning;

all night I drench my bed with tears,

flooding my couch till it swims. 

7 My vision is darkened with anger;

it grows weak because of all my foes. 

8 Get away from me, all you workers of evil!

For ADONAI has heard the sound of my weeping, 

9 ADONAI has heard my pleading,

ADONAI will accept my prayer. 

10 All my enemies will be confounded, completely terrified;

they will turn back and be suddenly put to shame.



PSALMS: 36


1 For the leader.

By David, the servant of ADONAI:

Crime speaks to the wicked.

I perceive this in my heart;

before his eyes there is no fear of God. 

2 For, the way he sees it, crime makes his life easy that is,

until his wrongs are discovered;

then, he is hated. 

3 His words are wrong and deceitful;

he has stopped being wise and doing good. 

4 He devises trouble as he lies in bed;

so set is he on his own bad way that he doesn't hate evil. 

5 ADONAI, in the heavens is your grace;

your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,

your judgments are like the great deep.

You save man and beast, ADONAI. 

7 How precious, God, is your grace!

People take refuge in the shadow of your wings, 

8 they feast on the rich bounty of your house,

and you have them drink from the stream of your delights. 

9 For with you is the fountain of life;

in your light we see light. 

10 Continue your grace to those who know you

and your righteousness to the upright in heart. 

11 Don't let the foot of the proud tread on me

or the hands of the wicked drive me away. 

12 There they lie fallen, those evildoers,

flung down and unable to rise.



PSALMS: 66


1 For the leader.

A song.

A psalm:

Shout to God, all the earth! 

2 Sing the glory of his name,

make his praise glorious. 

3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!

At your great power, your enemies cringe. 

4 All the earth bows down to you, sings praises to you,

sings praises to your name."

(Selah) 

5 Come and see what God has done,

his awesome dealings with humankind. 

6 He turned the sea into dry land.

They passed through the river on foot;

there we rejoiced in him.

7  With his power he rules forever;

his eyes keep watch on the nations.

Let no rebel arise to challenge him. 

8 Bless our God, you peoples!

Let the sound of his praise be heard! 

9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from stumbling.

(Selah) 

10 For you, God, have tested us,

refined us as silver is refined. 

11 You brought us into the net

and bound our bodies fast. 

12 You made men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water.

But you brought us out to a place of plenty. 

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings,

I will fulfill my vows to you, 

14 those my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke

when I was in distress. 

15 I will offer you burnt offerings of fattened animals,

along with the sweet smoke of rams;

I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah) 

16 Come and listen, all you who fear God,

and I will tell what he has done for me. 

17 I cried out to him with my mouth,

his praise was on my tongue. 

18 Had I cherished evil thoughts,

Adonai would not have listened. 

19 But in fact, God did listen;

he paid attention to my prayer. 

20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer

or turn his grace away from me.



PSALMS: 96


1 Sing to ADONAI a new song!

Sing to ADONAI, all the earth! 

2 Sing to ADONAI, bless his name!

Proclaim his victory day after day!

3 Declare his glory among the nations,

his wonders among all peoples! 

4 For ADONAI is great, and greatly to be praised;

he is to be feared more than all gods. 

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,

but ADONAI made the heavens. 

6 In his presence are honor and majesty;

in his sanctuary, strength and splendor. 

7 Give ADONAI his due, you families from the peoples;

give ADONAI his due of glory and strength; 

8 give ADONAI the glory due to his name;

bring an offering, and enter his courtyards. 

9 Worship ADONAI in holy splendor;

tremble before him, all the earth! 

10 Say among the nations, "ADONAI is king!

"The world is firmly established, immovable.

He will judge the peoples fairly. 

11 Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad;

let the sea roar, and everything in it; 

12 let the fields exult and all that is in them.

Then all the trees in the forest will sing

13 before ADONAI, because he has come, he has come to judge the earth;

he will judge the world rightly and the peoples with his faithfulness.



PSALMS: 126


1 When the LORD brought back those who returned to Tziyon,

We were like those who dream. 

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

And our tongue with singing.

Then said they among the nations,

"The LORD has done great things for them." 

3 The LORD has done great things for us,

And we are glad. 

4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD,

Like the streams in the Negev. 

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,

Will assuredly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.




PROVERBS: 6


1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor,

If you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger; 

2 You are trapped by the words of your mouth.

You are ensnared with the words of your mouth. 

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself,

Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor.

Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. 

4 Give no sleep to your eyes,

Nor slumber to your eyelids. 

5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,

Like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard.

Consider her ways, and be wise; 

7  Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler, 

8 Provides her bread in the summer,

And gathers her food in the harvest. 

9 How long will you sleep, sluggard?

When will you arise out of your sleep? 

10 A little sleep, a little slumber,

A little folding of the hands to sleep: 

11 So your poverty will come as a robber,

And your scarcity as an armed man. 

12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity,

Is he who walks with a perverse mouth; 

13 Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,

Who motions with his fingers; 

14 In whose heart is perverseness,

Who devises evil continually,

Who always sows discord. 

15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly.

He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 

16 There are six things which the LORD hates;

Yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

Hands that shed innocent blood;

18 A heart that devises wicked schemes,

Feet that are swift in running to mischief, 

19 A false witness who utters lies,

And he who sows discord among brothers. 

20 My son, keep your father's mitzvah,

And don't forsake your mother's teaching. 

21 Bind them continually on your heart.

Tie them around your neck. 

22 When you walk, it will lead you.

When you sleep, it will watch over you.

When you awake, it will talk with you. 

23 For the mitzvah is a lamp,

And the law is light.

Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 

24 To keep you from the immoral woman,

From the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue. 

25 Don't lust after her beauty in your heart,

Neither let her captivate you with her eyelids. 

26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread.

The adulteress hunts for your precious life. 

27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap,

And his clothes not be burned?

28 Or can one walk on hot coals,

And his feet not be scorched?

29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife.

Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 

30 Men don't despise a thief,

If he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry: 

31 But if he be found, he shall restore seven times.

He shall give all the wealth of his house. 

32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding.

He who does it destroys his own soul. 

33 He will get wounds and dishonor.

His reproach will not be wiped away. 

34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband.

He won't spare in the day of vengeance. 

35 He won't regard any ransom,

Neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.



OLD TESTAMENT: DANIEL 2:24 - 3:30


2:24 Therefore Daniyel went in to Aryokh, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Bavel; he went and said thus to him: Don't destroy the wise men of Bavel; bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation. 25 Then Aryokh brought in Daniyel before the king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Yehudah, who will make known to the king the interpretation. 26 The king answered Daniyel, whose name was Belteshatztzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it? 27 Daniyel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show to the king; 28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nevukhadnetztzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these: 29 as for you, O king, your thoughts came [into your mind] on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall happen. 30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart. 31 You, O king, saw, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and the aspect of it was awesome. 32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, 33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay. 34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole eretz. 36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. 37  You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory; 38 and wherever the children of men dwell, the animals of the field and the birds of the sky has he given into your hand, and has made you to rule over them all: you are the head of gold. 39 After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the eretz. 40 The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, shall it break in pieces and crush. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cling to one another, even as iron does not mingle with clay. 44 In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall happen hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it sure. 46 Then the king Nevukhadnetztzar fell on his face, and worshiped Daniyel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him. 47 The king answered to Daniyel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you have been able to reveal this secret. 48 Then the king made Daniyel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Bavel, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Bavel. 49 Daniyel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego, over the affairs of the province of Bavel: but Daniyel was in the gate of the king.


3:1 Nevukhadnetztzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Bavel. 2 Then Nevukhadnetztzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nevukhadnetztzar the king had set up. 3 Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nevukhadnetztzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nevukhadnetztzar had set up. 4 Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages, 5that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nevukhadnetztzar the king has set up; 6 and whoever doesn't fall down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nevukhadnetztzar the king had set up. 8 Therefore at that time certain Kasdim came near, and brought accusation against the Yehudim. 9 They answered Nevukhadnetztzar the king, O king, live for ever. 10You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image; 11 and whoever doesn't fall down and worships, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 12 There are certain Yehudim whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Bavel: Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego; these men, O king, have not regarded you: they don't serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up. 13 Then Nevukhadnetztzar in [his] rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego. Then they brought these men before the king. 14Nevukhadnetztzar answered them, Is it on purpose, Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego, that you don't serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 15 Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to you fall down and worship the image which I have made, [well]: but if you don't worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands? 16Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego answered the king, Nevukhadnetztzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up. 19 Then was Nevukhadnetztzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego: [therefore] he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 20 He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego, [and] to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 22 Therefore because the king's mitzvah was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego. 23 These three men, Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.24 Then Nevukhadnetztzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spoke and said to his counselors, Didn't we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, True, O king. 25 He answered, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods. 26 Then Nevukhadnetztzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spoke and said, Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego, you servants of Ha`Elyon God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego came forth out of the midst of the fire. 27 The satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their pants changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them. 28 Nevukhadnetztzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god who is able to deliver after this sort.30 Then the king promoted Shadrakh, Meshakh, and `Aved-Nego in the province of Bavel.



NEW TESTAMENT: 1 PETER 4:7 - 5:14


4:7  But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer. 8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Be hospitable one to another without grumbling. 

10 According as each has received a gift, be ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the grace of God in its various forms. 11 If any man speaks, let it be as it were oracles of God. If any man serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amein. 12 Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. 13 But because you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also you may rejoice with exceeding joy. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, blessed are you; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified. 15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters. 16 But if one of you suffers for being a Messianic, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter. 17 For the time [has come] for judgment to begin at the house of God. If it begins first at us, what will happen to those who don't obey the Good News of God? 18 "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?" 19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.


5:1 I exhort the Zakenim among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed. 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly; 3 neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock. 4 When the chief Shepherd will be revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn't fade away. 5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; 7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. 10 But may the God of all grace (who called you to his eternal glory by Messiah Yeshua), after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amein. 12 Through Sila, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand. 13 She who is in Bavel, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Shalom be to you all who are in Messiah Yeshua. Amein. 's Second Letter


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."
