PSALMS: 18
For
the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the
words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies
and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1
I
love you, O LORD, my strength.
2
The
LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my
God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He
is my shield and the horn A of my salvation, my
stronghold.
3
I
call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and
I am saved from my enemies.
4
The
cords of death entangled me;
the
torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
5
The
cords of the grave B coiled around me;
the
snares of death confronted me.
6
In
my distress I called to the LORD;
I
cried to my God for help.
From
his temple he heard my voice;
my
cry came before him, into his ears.
7
The
earth trembled and quaked,
and
the foundations of the mountains shook;
they
trembled because he was angry.
8
Smoke
rose from his nostrils;
consuming
fire came from his mouth,
burning
coals blazed out of it.
9
He
parted the heavens and came down;
dark
clouds were under his feet.
10
He
mounted the cherubim and flew;
he
soared on the wings of the wind. [1]
11
He
made darkness his covering, his canopy around him--
the
dark rain clouds of the sky.
12
Out
of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with
hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13
The
LORD thundered from heaven;
the
voice of the Most High resounded. C
14
He
shot his arrows and scattered the enemies,
great
bolts of lightning and routed them.
15
The
valleys of the sea were exposed
and
the foundations of the earth laid bare
at
your rebuke, O LORD,
at
the blast of breath from your nostrils.
16
He
reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he
drew me out of deep waters.
17
He
rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from
my foes, who were too strong for me.
18
They
confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but
the LORD was my support.
19
He
brought me out into a spacious place;
he
rescued me because he delighted in me.
20
The
LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according
to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
21
For
I have kept the ways of the LORD;
I
have not done evil by turning from my God.
22
All
his laws are before me;
I
have not turned away from his decrees.
23
I
have been blameless before him
and
have kept myself from sin.
24
The
LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according
to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.[2]
25
To
the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to
the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26
to
the pure you show yourself pure,
but
to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
27
You
save the humble
but
bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28
You,
O LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my
God turns my darkness into light.
29
With
your help I can advance against a troop D;
with
my God I can scale a wall.
30
As
for God, his way is perfect;
the
word of the LORD is flawless.
He
is a shield
for
all who take refuge in him.
31
For
who is God besides the LORD?
And
who is the Rock except our God?
32
It
is God who arms me with strength
and
makes my way perfect.
33
He
makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he
enables me to stand on the heights.
34
He
trains my hands for battle;
my
arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35
You
give me your shield of victory,
and
your right hand sustains me;
you
stoop down to make me great.
36
You
broaden the path beneath me,
so
that my ankles do not turn.
37
I
pursued my enemies and overtook them;
I
did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38
I
crushed them so that they could not rise;
they
fell beneath my feet. [3]
39
You
armed me with strength for battle;
you
made my adversaries bow at my feet.
40
You
made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and
I destroyed my foes.
41
They
cried for help, but there was no one to save them--
to
the LORD, but he did not answer.
42
I
beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind;
I
poured them out like mud in the streets.
43
You
have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you
have made me the head of nations;
people
I did not know are subject to me.
44
As
soon as they hear me, they obey me;
foreigners
cringe before me.
45
They
all lose heart;
they
come trembling from their strongholds.
46
The
LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted
be God my Savior!
47
He
is the God who avenges me,
who
subdues nations under me,
48
who
saves me from my enemies.
You
exalted me above my foes;
from
violent men you rescued me.
49
Therefore
I will praise you among the nations, O LORD;
I
will sing praises to your name.
50
He
gives his king great victories;
he
shows unfailing kindness to his anointed,
to
David and his descendants forever. [4]
PSALMS: 48
A
song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1
Great
is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in
the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2
It
is beautiful in its loftiness,
the
joy of the whole earth.
Like
the utmost heights of Zaphon A is Mount Zion,
the
B city of the Great King.
3
God
is in her citadels;
he
has shown himself to be her fortress.
4
When
the kings joined forces,
when
they advanced together,
5
they
saw her and were astounded;
they
fled in terror.
6
Trembling
seized them there,
pain
like that of a woman in labor.
7
You
destroyed them like ships of Tarshish
shattered
by an east wind.
8
As
we have heard,
so
have we seen
in
the city of the LORD Almighty,
in
the city of our God:
God
makes her secure forever.
Selah
9
Within
your temple, O God,
we
meditate on your unfailing love.
10
Like
your name, O God,
your
praise reaches to the ends of the earth;
your
right hand is filled with righteousness. [5]
11
Mount
Zion rejoices,
the
villages of Judah are glad
because
of your judgments.
12
Walk
about Zion, go around her,
count
her towers,
13
consider
well her ramparts,
view
her citadels,
that
you may tell of them to the next generation.
14
For
this God is our God for ever and ever;
he
will be our guide even to the end. [6]
PSALMS: 78
A
maskil A of Asaph.
1
O
my people, hear my teaching;
listen
to the words of my mouth.
2
I
will open my mouth in parables,
I
will utter hidden things, things from of old--
3
what
we have heard and known,
what
our fathers have told us.
4
We
will not hide them from their children;
we
will tell the next generation
the
praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,
his
power, and the wonders he has done.
5
He
decreed statutes for Jacob
and
established the law in Israel,
which
he commanded our forefathers
to
teach their children,
6
so
the next generation would know them,
even
the children yet to be born,
and
they in turn would tell their children.
7
Then
they would put their trust in God
and
would not forget his deeds
but
would keep his commands.
8
They
would not be like their forefathers--
a
stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose
hearts were not loyal to God,
whose
spirits were not faithful to him.
9
The
men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,
turned
back on the day of battle;
10
they
did not keep God's covenant
and
refused to live by his law.
11
They
forgot what he had done,
the
wonders he had shown them.
12
He
did miracles in the sight of their fathers
in
the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
13
He
divided the sea and led them through;
he
made the water stand firm like a wall.
14
He
guided them with the cloud by day
and
with light from the fire all night.
15
He
split the rocks in the desert
and
gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16
he
brought streams out of a rocky crag
and
made water flow down like rivers.
17
But
they continued to sin against him,
rebelling
in the desert against the Most High.
18
They
willfully put God to the test
by
demanding the food they craved.
19
They
spoke against God, saying,
"Can
God spread a table in the desert?
20
When
he struck the rock, water gushed out,
and
streams flowed abundantly.
But
can he also give us food?
Can
he supply meat for his people?"
21
When
the LORD heard them, he was very angry;
his
fire broke out against Jacob,
and
his wrath rose against Israel,
22
for
they did not believe in God
or
trust in his deliverance.
23
Yet
he gave a command to the skies above
and
opened the doors of the heavens;
24
he
rained down manna for the people to eat, [7]
he
gave them the grain of heaven.
25
Men
ate the bread of angels;
he
sent them all the food they could eat.
26
He
let loose the east wind from the heavens
and
led forth the south wind by his power.
27
He
rained meat down on them like dust,
flying
birds like sand on the seashore.
28
He
made them come down inside their camp,
all
around their tents.
29
They
ate till they had more than enough,
for
he had given them what they craved.
30
But
before they turned from the food they craved,
even
while it was still in their mouths,
31
God's
anger rose against them;
he
put to death the sturdiest among them,
cutting
down the young men of Israel.
32
In
spite of all this, they kept on sinning;
in
spite of his wonders, they did not believe.
33
So
he ended their days in futility
and
their years in terror.
34
Whenever
God slew them, they would seek him;
they
eagerly turned to him again.
35
They
remembered that God was their Rock,
that
God Most High was their Redeemer.
36
But
then they would flatter him with their mouths,
lying
to him with their tongues;
37
their
hearts were not loyal to him,
they
were not faithful to his covenant.
38
Yet
he was merciful;
he
forgave their iniquities
and
did not destroy them.
Time
after time he restrained his anger
and
did not stir up his full wrath. [8]
39
He
remembered that they were but flesh,
a
passing breeze that does not return.
40
How
often they rebelled against him in the desert
and
grieved him in the wasteland!
41
Again
and again they put God to the test;
they
vexed the Holy One of Israel.
42
They
did not remember his power--
the
day he redeemed them from the oppressor,
43
the
day he displayed his miraculous signs in Egypt,
his
wonders in the region of Zoan.
44
He
turned their rivers to blood;
they
could not drink from their streams.
45
He
sent swarms of flies that devoured them,
and
frogs that devastated them.
46
He
gave their crops to the grasshopper,
their
produce to the locust.
47
He
destroyed their vines with hail
and
their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48
He
gave over their cattle to the hail,
their
livestock to bolts of lightning.
49
He
unleashed against them his hot anger,
his
wrath, indignation and hostility--
a
band of destroying angels.
50
He
prepared a path for his anger;
he
did not spare them from death
but
gave them over to the plague.
51
He
struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,
the
firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.
52
But
he brought his people out like a flock;
he
led them like sheep through the desert.
53
He
guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
but
the sea engulfed their enemies.
54
Thus
he brought them to the border of his holy land, [9]
to
the hill country his right hand had taken.
55
He
drove out nations before them
and
allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;
he
settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56
But
they put God to the test
and
rebelled against the Most High;
they
did not keep his statutes.
57
Like
their fathers they were disloyal and faithless,
as
unreliable as a faulty bow.
58
They
angered him with their high places;
they
aroused his jealousy with their idols.
59
When
God heard them, he was very angry;
he
rejected Israel completely.
60
He
abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the
tent he had set up among men.
61
He
sent the ark of his might into captivity,
his
splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62
He
gave his people over to the sword;
he
was very angry with his inheritance.
63
Fire
consumed their young men,
and
their maidens had no wedding songs;
64
their
priests were put to the sword,
and
their widows could not weep.
65
Then
the Lord awoke as from sleep,
as
a man wakes from the stupor of wine.
66
He
beat back his enemies;
he
put them to everlasting shame.
67
Then
he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he
did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;
68
but
he chose the tribe of Judah, [10]
Mount
Zion, which he loved.
69
He
built his sanctuary like the heights,
like
the earth that he established forever.
70
He
chose David his servant
and
took him from the sheep pens;
71
from
tending the sheep he brought him
to
be the shepherd of his people Jacob,
of
Israel his inheritance.
72
And
David shepherded them with integrity of heart;
with
skillful hands he led them. [11]
PSALMS: 108
A
song. A psalm of David.
1
My
heart is steadfast, O God;
I
will sing and make music with all my soul.
2
Awake,
harp and lyre!
I
will awaken the dawn.
3
I
will praise you, O LORD, among the nations;
I
will sing of you among the peoples.
4
For
great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your
faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5
Be
exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and
let your glory be over all the earth.
6
Save
us and help us with your right hand,
that
those you love may be delivered.
7
God
has spoken from his sanctuary:
"In triumph I will parcel out
Shechem
and
measure off the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead
is mine, Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim
is my helmet,
Judah
my scepter.
9 Moab
is my washbasin,
upon
Edom I toss my sandal;
over
Philistia I shout in triumph."
10
Who
will bring me to the fortified city?
Who
will lead me to Edom?
11
Is
it not you, O God, you who have rejected us
and
no longer go out with our armies?
12
Give
us aid against the enemy,
for
the help of man is worthless.
13
With
God we will gain the victory, [12]
and
he will trample down our enemies. [13]
PSALMS: 138
Of
David.
1
I
will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before
the "gods" I will sing your praise.
2
I
will bow down toward your holy temple
and
will praise your name
for
your love and your faithfulness,
for
you have exalted above all things
your
name and your word.
3
When
I called, you answered me;
you
made me bold and stouthearted.
4
May
all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when
they hear the words of your mouth.
5
May
they sing of the ways of the LORD,
6
Though
the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but
the proud he knows from afar.
7
Though
I walk in the midst of trouble,
you
preserve my life;
you
stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with
your right hand you save me.
8
The
LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your
love, O LORD, endures forever--
do
not abandon the works of your hands. [14]

1
An unfriendly man pursues selfish ends;
he
defies all sound judgment.
2
A
fool finds no pleasure in understanding
but
delights in airing his own opinions.
3
When
wickedness comes, so does contempt,
and
with shame comes disgrace.
4
The
words of a man's mouth are deep waters,
but
the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
5
It
is not good to be partial to the wicked
or
to deprive the innocent of justice.
6
A
fool's lips bring him strife,
and
his mouth invites a beating.
7
A
fool's mouth is his undoing,
and
his lips are a snare to his soul.
8
The
words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they
go down to a man's inmost parts.
9
One
who is slack in his work
is
brother to one who destroys.
10
The
name of the LORD is a strong tower;
the
righteous run to it and are safe.
11The
wealth of the rich is their fortified city;
they
imagine it an unscalable wall. [15]
12
Before
his downfall a man's heart is proud,
but
humility comes before honor.
13
He
who answers before listening--
that
is his folly and his shame.
14
A
man's spirit sustains him in sickness,
but
a crushed spirit who can bear?
15
The
heart of the discerning acquires knowledge;
the
ears of the wise seek it out.
16
A
gift opens the way for the giver
and
ushers him into the presence of the great.
17
The
first to present his case seems right,
till
another comes forward and questions him.
18
Casting
the lot settles disputes
and
keeps strong opponents apart.
19
An
offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city,
and
disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
20
From
the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is filled;
with
the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
21
The
tongue has the power of life and death,
and
those who love it will eat its fruit.
22
He
who finds a wife finds what is good
and
receives favor from the LORD. [16]
23
A
poor man pleads for mercy,
but
a rich man answers harshly.
24
A
man of many companions may come to ruin,
but
there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. [17]
OLD
TESTAMENT: EXODUS 26:1 - 27:21
26
1"Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted
linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim worked into them by a
skilled craftsman. 2 All the
curtains are to be the same size--twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits
wide. A 3 Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the
other five. 4 Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end
curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other
set. 5 Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end
curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 6 Then make fifty gold
clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a
unit.
7
"Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the
tabernacle--eleven altogether. 8
All eleven curtains are to be the same
size--thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. B 9 Join five of the
curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the
sixth curtain double at the front of the tent. 10 Make fifty loops
along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end
curtain in the other set. 11
Then make fifty bronze clasps and put
them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit. 12 As for the
additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to
hang down at the rear of the tabernacle. 13 The tent curtains
will be a cubit C longer on both
sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover
it.
14 Make
for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides
of sea cows.
D
15
"Make upright frames of acacia wood for the
tabernacle. 16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half
wide, E 17 with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all
the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 18 Make twenty frames
for the south side of the tabernacle 19
and make forty silver bases to go under
them--two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 20 For the other side,
the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames 21 and forty silver
bases--two under each frame.
22 Make
six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
23 and
make two frames for the corners at the far end. 24 At these two corners
they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top, and fitted into a
single ring; both shall be like that. 25
So there will be eight frames and sixteen
silver bases--two under each frame.
26
"Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on
one side of the tabernacle, 27
five for those on the other side, and
five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.
28 The
center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames.
29 Overlay
the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the
crossbars with gold.
30
"Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the
mountain.
31
"Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely
twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman.
32 Hang
it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing
on four silver bases.
33 Hang
the curtain from the clasps and place [18] the ark of the Testimony behind the curtain. The curtain
will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. 34 Put the atonement
cover on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 Place the table
outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand
opposite it on the south side.
36
"For the entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple
and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen--the work of an embroiderer.
37 Make
gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold.
And cast five bronze bases for them.
27
1
"Build an altar of acacia wood, three cubits
A high; it is to be square, five
cubits long and five cubits wide. B 2 Make a horn at each
of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar are of one piece, and
overlay the altar with bronze. 3
Make all its utensils of bronze--its pots
to remove the ashes, and its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and
firepans. 4 Make a grating for it, a bronze network, and make a bronze
ring at each of the four corners of the network. 5 Put it under the
ledge of the altar so that it is halfway up the altar.
6 Make
poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.
7 The
poles are to be inserted into the rings so they will be on two sides of the
altar when it is carried.
8 Make the
altar hollow, out of boards. It is to be made just as you were shown on the
mountain.
9
"Make a courtyard for the tabernacle. The south side shall be
a hundred cubits C long and is to
have curtains of finely twisted linen, 10
with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases
and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 11 The north side shall
also be a hundred cubits long and is to have curtains, with twenty posts and
twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
12
"The west end of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits
D wide and have curtains, with ten
posts and ten bases. 13 On the east end, toward the sunrise, the courtyard shall
also be fifty cubits wide. 14
Curtains fifteen cubits
E long are to be on one side of the
entrance, with three posts and three bases, 15 and curtains fifteen cubits long are to be on the other
side, with three posts and three bases.
16
"For the entrance to the courtyard, provide a curtain twenty
cubits F long, of blue, purple and
scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen--the work of an embroiderer--with four
posts and four bases. 17
All the posts around the courtyard are to
have silver bands and hooks, and bronze bases. 18 The courtyard shall
be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,G with curtains of finely twisted linen five
cubits H high, and with bronze
bases. 19 All the other articles used in the service of the
tabernacle, whatever their function, including all the tent pegs for it and
those for the courtyard, are to be of bronze.
20
"Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed
olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. 21 In the Tent of
Meeting, outside the curtain that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his
sons are to keep the lamps burning before the LORD from evening till morning.
This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to
come. [19]

foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.
4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their
lamps.
5 The
bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell
asleep.
6
"At midnight the cry rang out: `Here's the bridegroom! Come
out to meet him!'
7
"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8 The
foolish ones said to the wise, `Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going
out.'
9
"`No,' they replied, `there may not be enough for both us and
you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
10
"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the
bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding
banquet. And the door was shut.
11
"Later the others also came. `Sir! Sir!' they said. `Open the
door for us!'
12
"But he replied, `I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
13
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the
hour.
14
"Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called
his servants and entrusted his property to them. 15 To one he gave five
talents A of money, to another two
talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went
on his journey.
16
The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work
and gained five more.
17 So also, the one with the two talents
gained two more. 18 But the man who
had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his
master's money.
19
"After a long time the master of those servants returned and
settled accounts with them. 20
The man who had received the five talents
brought the other five. `Master,' he said, `you entrusted me with five talents.
See, I have gained five more.'
21
"His master replied, `Well done, good and faithful servant!
You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many
things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
22
"The man with the two talents also came. `Master,' he said,
`you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.'
23
"His master replied, `Well done, good and faithful servant!
You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many
things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
24
"Then the man who had received the one talent came. `Master,'
he said, `I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and
gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the
ground. See, here is what [20] belongs to you.'
26
"His master replied, `You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew
that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered
seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the
bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28
"`Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the
ten talents. 29 For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an
abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from
him. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' [21]

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."
