PSALMS: 31


1 In you, LORD, do I take refuge.

Let me never be put to shame:

Deliver me in your righteousness. 

2 Bow down your ear to me.

Deliver me speedily.

Be to me a strong rock,

A house of defense to save me. 

3 For you are my rock and my fortress,

Therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me. 

4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me,

For you are my stronghold. 

5 Into your hand I commend my spirit.

You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.

6 I hate those who regard lying vanities,

But I trust in the LORD. 

7 I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness,

For you have seen my affliction.

You have known my soul in adversities. 

8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy.

You have set my feet in a large place. 

9 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress.

My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief. 

10 For my life is spent with sorrow,

My years with sighing.

My strength fails because of my iniquity.

My bones are wasted away. 

11 Because of all my adversaries

I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors,

A fear to my acquaintances.

Those who saw me on the street fled from me. 

12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man.

I am like broken pottery. 

13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side,

While they conspire together against me,

They plot to take away my life. 

14 But I trust in you, LORD.

I said, You are my God.

15 My times are in your hand.

Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,

and from those who persecute me. 

16 Make your face to shine on your servant.

Save me in your loving kindness. 

17 Let me not be put to shame, LORD,

for I have called on you.

Let the wicked be put to shame.

Let them be silent in She'ol. 

18 Let the lying lips be mute,

Which speak against the righteous insolently,

with pride and contempt. 

19 Oh how great is your goodness,

Which you have laid up for those who fear you,

Which you have worked for those who take refuge in you,

Before the sons of men! 

20 In the covert of your presence will you hide them from the plotting of man.

You will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 

21 Praise be to the LORD,

For he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city. 

22 As for me, I said in my haste,

"I am cut off from before your eyes."

Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you. 

23 Oh love the LORD, all you his holy ones!

The LORD preserves the faithful,

And pays back him who deals proudly in full. 

24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,

All you who hope in the LORD.



PSALMS: 61


1 Hear my cry, God.

Listen to my prayer. 

2 From the end of the eretz,

I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 

3 For you have been a refuge for me,

A strong tower from the enemy. 

4 I will dwell in your tent forever.

I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

Selah. 

5 For you, God, have heard my vows.

You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. 

6 You will prolong the king's life;

His years shall be for generations. 

7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever.

Appoint your loving kindness and truth,

that they may preserve him.

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever,

That I may fulfill my vows daily.



PSALMS: 91


1 He who dwells in the secret place of Ha`Elyon

Will rest in the shadow of Shaddai. 

2 I will say of the LORD,

"He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in whom I trust." 

3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,

From the deadly pestilence. 

4 He will cover you with his pinions.

Under his wings you will take refuge.

His truth is a shield and a buckler. 

5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day; 

6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. 

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it will not come near you. 

8 You will only look with your eyes,

And see the reward of the wicked. 

9 For you, LORD, are my refuge!

You have made Ha`Elyon your habitation. 

10 No evil shall happen to you,

Neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. 

11 For he will give his angels charge over you,

To guard you in all your ways.

12 They will bear you up in their hands,

So that you won't dash your foot against a stone. 

13 You will tread on the lion and cobra.

You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot. 

14 "Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him.

I will set him on high, because he has known my name. 

15 He will call on me, and I will answer him.

I will be with him in trouble.

I will deliver him, and honor him. 

16 I will satisfy him with long life,

And show him my yeshu`ah."



PSALMS: 121


1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills.

Where does my help come from? 

2 My help comes from the LORD,

Who made heaven and eretz. 

3 He will not allow your foot to be moved.

He who keeps you will not slumber. 

4 Behold, he who keeps Yisra'el

Will neither slumber nor sleep. 

5 The LORD is your keeper.

The LORD is your shade on your right hand. 

6 The sun will not harm you by day,

Nor the moon by night. 

7 The LORD will keep you from all evil.

He will keep your soul. 

8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in,

From this time forth, and forevermore.



PROVERBS: 31


1 The words of king Lemo'el;

the oracle which his mother taught him. 

2 "Oh, my son!" Oh, son of my womb!

Oh, son of my vows! 

3 Don't give your strength to women,

Nor your ways to that which destroys kings. 

4 It is not for kings, Lemo'el;

it is not for kings to drink wine;

Nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?' 

5 Lest they drink, and forget the law,

And pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted. 

6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish;

And wine to the bitter in soul: 

7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,

And remember his misery no more. 

8 Open your mouth for the mute,

In the cause of all who are left desolate. 

9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,

And serve justice to the poor and needy." 

10 Who can find a worthy woman?

For her price is far above rubies. 

11 The heart of her husband trusts in her.

He shall have no lack of gain. 

12 She does him good, and not harm,

All the days of her life. 

13 She seeks wool and flax,

And works eagerly with her hands. 

14 She is like the merchant ships.

She brings her bread from afar. 

15 She rises also while it is yet night,

Gives food to her household,

And portions for her servant girls. 

16 She considers a field, and buys it.

With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard. 

17 She girds her loins with strength,

And makes her arms strong. 

18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.

Her lamp doesn't go out by night.

19 She lays her hands to the distaff,

And her hands hold the spindle. 

20 She opens her arms to the poor;

Yes, she extends her hands to the needy. 

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household;

For all her household are clothed with scarlet. 

22 She makes for herself carpets of tapestry.

Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 

23 Her husband is respected in the gates,

When he sits among the Zakenim of the land. 

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

And delivers sashes to the merchant. 

25 Strength and dignity are her clothing.

She laughs at the time to come. 

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom.

Faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She looks well to the ways of her household,

And doesn't eat the bread of idleness. 

28 Her children rise up and call her blessed.

Her husband also praises her: 

29 "Many women do noble things,

But you excel them all." 

30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain;

But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. 

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands;

Let her works praise her in the gates.



OLD TESTAMENT: GENESIS 41:17 - 42:17


41:17  Par`oh spoke to Yosef, "In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river: 18 and, behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat-fleshed and well-favored. They fed in the reed-grass, 19 and, behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Mitzrayim for badness. 20 The lean and ill-favored cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle, 21 and when they had eaten them up, it couldn't be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke. 22 I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good: 23 and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. 24 The thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. I told it to the magicians; but there was no one who could explain it to me." 25 Yosef said to Par`oh, "The dream of Par`oh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Par`oh. 26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years. The dream is one. 27  The seven lean and ill-favored cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine. 28 That is the thing which I spoke to Par`oh. What God is about to do he has shown to Par`oh. 29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Mitzrayim. 30 There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Mitzrayim. The famine will consume the land, 31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. 32 The dream was doubled to Par`oh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 33 Now therefore let Par`oh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Mitzrayim. 34 Let Par`oh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Mitzrayim's produce in the seven plenteous years. 35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Par`oh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. 36 The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Mitzrayim; that the land not perish through the famine." 37  The thing was good in the eyes of Par`oh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 Par`oh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?" 39 Par`oh said to Yosef, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you. 40 You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you." 41 Par`oh said to Yosef, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Mitzrayim." 42 Par`oh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Yosef's hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck, 43 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, "Bow the knee!" He set him over all the land of Mitzrayim. 44 Par`oh said to Yosef, "I am Par`oh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Mitzrayim." 45 Par`oh called Yosef's name Tzafenat-Pa`neach; and he gave him Asenat, the daughter of Potiphera Kohen of On as a wife. Yosef went out over the land of Mitzrayim. 46 Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Par`oh king of Mitzrayim. Yosef went out from the presence of Par`oh, and went throughout all the land of Mitzrayim. 47 In the seven plenteous years the eretz brought forth by handfuls. 48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Mitzrayim, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same. 49 Yosef laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number. 50 To Yosef were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenat, the daughter of Potiphera Kohen of On, bore to him. 51 Yosef called the name of the firstborn Menashsheh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house." 52 The name of the second, he called Efrayim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction." 53 The seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Mitzrayim, came to an end. 54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Yosef had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Mitzrayim there was bread. 55 When all the land of Mitzrayim was famished, the people cried to Par`oh for bread, and Par`oh said to all the Mitzrim, "Go to Yosef. What he says to you, do." 56 The famine was over all the surface of the eretz. Yosef opened all the store-houses, and sold to the Mitzrim. The famine was severe in the land of Mitzrayim. 57 All countries came into Mitzrayim, to Yosef, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the eretz.


42:1 Now Ya`akov saw that there was grain in Mitzrayim, and Ya`akov said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?" 2 He said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Mitzrayim. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die." 3 Yosef's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Mitzrayim. 4 But Ya`akov didn't send Binyamin, Yosef's brother, with his brothers; for he said, "Lest perhaps harm befall him." 5 The sons of Yisra'el came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Kana`an. 6 Yosef was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Yosef's brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the eretz. 7 Yosef saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, "Where did you come from?" They said, "From the land of Kana`an to buy food." 8 Yosef recognized his brothers, but they didn't recognize him. 9 Yosef remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land." 10 They said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food. 11 We are all one man's sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies." 12 He said to them, "No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land." 13 They said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kana`an; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more." 14 Yosef said to them, "It is like I told you, saying, 'You are spies.' 15 Hereby you shall be tested. By the life of Par`oh you shall not go forth from here, unless your youngest brother come here. 16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Par`oh surely you are spies." 17 He put them all together into custody three days.



NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 13:24 - 46


13:24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, 

25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel also among the wheat, and went away. 

26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel appeared also. 

27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?' 

28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?' 

29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel, you root up the wheat with them. 

30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'" 

31 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;

32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches." 

33 He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened." 

34 Yeshua spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them, 

35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world." 

36 Then Yeshua sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His talmidim came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field." 

37 He answered them, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, 

38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the darnel are the sons of the evil one. 

39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 

40 As therefore the darnel is gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be in the end of this age. 

41 The Son of Man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, 

42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 

43 Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. 

44 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field. 

45 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, 

46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.


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."
