For

sheminith.
A
A psalm of David.
1
O
LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
or
discipline me in your wrath.
2
Be
merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;
O
LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
3
My
soul is in anguish.
How
long, O LORD, how long?
4
Turn,
O LORD, and deliver me;
save
me because of your unfailing love.
5
No
one remembers you when he is dead.
Who
praises you from the grave B?
6
I
am worn out from groaning;
all
night long I flood my bed with weeping
and
drench my couch with tears.
7
My
eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they
fail because of all my foes.
8
Away
from me, all you who do evil,
for
the LORD has heard my weeping.
9
The
LORD has heard my cry for mercy;
the
LORD accepts my prayer.
10
All
my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
they
will turn back in sudden disgrace. 1
PSALMS:
36
For
the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD.
1
An
oracle is within my heart
concerning
the sinfulness of the wicked: A
There
is no fear of God
before
his eyes.
2
For
in his own eyes he flatters himself
too
much to detect or hate his sin.
3
The
words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful;
he
has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4
Even
on his bed he plots evil;
he
commits himself to a sinful course
and
does not reject what is wrong.
5
Your
love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens,
your
faithfulness to the skies.
6
Your
righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your
justice like the great deep.
O
LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
7
How
priceless is your unfailing love!
Both
high and low among men
find
B
refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8
They
feast on the abundance of your house;
you
give them drink from your river of delights.
9
For
with you is the fountain of life;
in
your light we see light.
10
Continue
your love to those who know you,
your
righteousness to the upright in heart.
nor
the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12
See
how the evildoers lie fallen--
thrown
down, not able to rise! 3
PSALMS:
66
For
the director of music. A song. A psalm.
1
Shout
with joy to God, all the earth!
2
Sing
the glory of his name;
make
his praise glorious!
3
Say
to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
So
great is your power
that
your enemies cringe before you.
4
All
the earth bows down to you;
they
sing praise to you,
they
sing praise to your name."
Selah
5
Come
and see what God has done,
how
awesome his works in man's behalf!
6
He
turned the sea into dry land,
they
passed through the waters on foot--
come,
let us rejoice in him.
7
He
rules forever by his power,
his
eyes watch the nations--
let
not the rebellious rise up against him.
Selah
8
Praise
our God, O peoples,
let
the sound of his praise be heard;
9
he
has preserved our lives
and
kept our feet from slipping.
10
For
you, O God, tested us;
you
refined us like silver.
11
You
brought us into prison
and
laid burdens on our backs.
we
went through fire and water,
but
you brought us to a place of abundance.
13
I
will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and
fulfill my vows to you--
14
vows
my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when
I was in trouble.
15
I
will sacrifice fat animals to you
and
an offering of rams;
I
will offer bulls and goats.
Selah
16
Come
and listen, all you who fear God;
let
me tell you what he has done for me.
17
I
cried out to him with my mouth;
his
praise was on my tongue.
18
If
I had cherished sin in my heart,
the
Lord would not have listened;
19
but
God has surely listened
and
heard my voice in prayer.
20
Praise
be to God,
who
has not rejected my prayer
or
withheld his love from me! 5
PSALMS:
96
1
Sing
to the LORD a new song;
sing
to the LORD, all the earth.
2
Sing
to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim
his salvation day after day.
3
Declare
his glory among the nations,
his
marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4
For
great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
he
is to be feared above all gods.
5
For
all the gods of the nations are idols,
but
the LORD made the heavens.
6
Splendor
and majesty are before him;
strength
and glory are in his sanctuary.
7
Ascribe
to the LORD, O families of nations,
ascribe
to the LORD glory and strength.
8
Ascribe
to the LORD the glory due his name;
bring
an offering and come into his courts.
9
Worship
the LORD in the splendor of his A
holiness;
tremble
before him, all the earth.
10
Say
among the nations, "The
LORD reigns."
The
world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he
will judge the peoples with equity.
11
Let
the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let
the sea resound, and all that is in it;
12
let
the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.
Then
all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;
13
they
will sing before the LORD, for he comes,
he
comes to judge the earth.
He
will judge the world in righteousness
and
the peoples in his truth. 6
PSALMS:
126
A
song of ascents.
1
When
the LORD brought back the captives to A
Zion,
we
were like men who dreamed. B
2
Our
mouths were filled with laughter,
our
tongues with songs of joy.
Then
it was said among the nations,
"The
LORD has done great things for them."
3
The
LORD has done great things for us,
and
we are filled with joy.
4
Restore
our fortunes, C
O LORD,
like
streams in the Negev.
5
Those
who sow in tears
will
reap with songs of joy.
6
He
who goes out weeping,
carrying
seed to sow,
will
return with songs of joy,
carrying
sheaves with him. 7

1
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if
you have struck hands in pledge for another,
2
if
you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared
by the words of your mouth,
3
then
do this, my son, to free yourself,
since
you have fallen into your neighbor's hands:
Go
and humble yourself;
press
your plea with your neighbor!
4
Allow
no sleep to your eyes,
no
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
its ways and be wise!
7
It
has no commander,
no
overseer or ruler,
8
yet
it stores its provisions in summer
and
gathers its food at harvest.
9
How
long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When
will you get up from your sleep?
10
A
little sleep, a little slumber,
a
little folding of the hands to rest--
11
and
poverty will come on you like a bandit
and
scarcity like an armed man. A
12
A
scoundrel and villain,
who
goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13
who winks with his eye,
signals
with his feet
and
motions with his fingers,
14
who plots evil with deceit in his heart--
he
always stirs up dissension.
he
will suddenly be destroyed--without remedy.
16
There
are six things the LORD hates,
seven
that are detestable to him:
17
haughty
eyes,
a
lying tongue,
hands
that shed innocent blood,
18
a
heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet
that are quick to rush into evil,
19
a
false witness who pours out lies
and
a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
20
My
son, keep your father's commands
and
do not forsake your mother's teaching.
21
Bind
them upon your heart forever;
fasten
them around your neck.
22
When
you walk, they will guide you;
when
you sleep, they will watch over you;
when
you awake, they will speak to you.
23
For
these commands are a lamp,
this
teaching is a light,
and
the corrections of discipline
are
the way to life,
24
keeping
you from the immoral woman,
from
the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.
25
Do
not lust in your heart after her beauty
or
let her captivate you with her eyes,
26
for
the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread,
and
the adulteress preys upon your very life.
27
Can
a man scoop fire into his lap
without
his clothes being burned?
28
Can
a man walk on hot coals
without
his feet being scorched?
no
one who touches her will go unpunished.
30
Men
do not despise a thief if he steals
to
satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31
Yet
if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
though
it costs him all the wealth of his house.
32
But
a man who commits adultery lacks judgment;
whoever
does so destroys himself.
33
Blows
and disgrace are his lot,
and
his shame will never be wiped away;
34
for
jealousy arouses a husband's fury,
and
he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35
He
will not accept any compensation;
he
will refuse the bribe, however great it is. 10
OLD
TESTAMENT:
EXODUS 2:11 - 3:22
11
One
day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people
were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating
a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12
Glancing
this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid
him in the sand. 13
The
next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one
in the wrong, "Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?"
14
The
man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you
thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses
was afraid and thought, "What I did must have become known."
15
When
Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from
Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well. 16
Now
a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water
and fill the troughs to water their father's flock. 17
Some
shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came
to their rescue and watered their flock.
18
When
the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, "Why
have you returned so early today?"
19
They
answered, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even
drew water for us and watered the flock."
20
"And
where is he?" he asked his daughters. "Why did you leave
him? Invite him to have something to eat."
21
Moses
agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses
in marriage. 22
Zipporah
gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, B
saying, "I have become an alien in a foreign land."
23
During
that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in
their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their
slavery went up to God.
24
God
heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham,
with Isaac and with Jacob. 25
So
God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.
3
1
Now
Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest
of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and
came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2
There
the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a
bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.
3
So
Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight--why
the bush does not burn up."
4
When
the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from
within the bush, "Moses!
Moses!"
And
Moses said, "Here I am."
5
"Do
not come any closer,"
God said. "Take
off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy
ground."
6
Then
he said,
"I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac and the God of Jacob."
At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
7
The
LORD said, "I
have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt.
I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am
11
concerned
about their suffering.
8
So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and
to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a
land flowing with milk and honey--the home of the Canaanites,
Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
9
And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the
way the Egyptians are oppressing them.
10
So now, go.
I
am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of
Egypt."
11
But
Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and
bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"
12
And
God said, "I
will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who
have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you A
will worship God on this mountain."
13
Moses
said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them,
`The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, `What
is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
14
God
said to Moses, "I
AM
WHO I AM.
B
This is what you are to say to the Israelites:
`I
AM has sent me to you.'"
15
God
also said to Moses, "Say
to the Israelites,
`The
LORD,
C
the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the
God of Jacob--has sent me to you.'
This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from
generation to generation.
16
"Go,
assemble the elders of Israel and say to them,
`The
LORD, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--
appeared to me and said:
I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in
Egypt. 17
And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into
the land of the Canaanites, Hittites,
Amorites,
Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites--a land flowing with milk and
honey.'
18
"The
elders of Israel will listen to you.
Then
you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him,
`The
LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us.
Let
us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to
the LORD our God.'
19
But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty
hand compels him.
20
So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the
wonders that I will perform among them.
After that, he will let you go.
21
"And
I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so
that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.
22
Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house
for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put
on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians."
12
NEW
TESTAMENT:
MATTHEW 17:10 - 27
10
The
disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the law say
that Elijah must come first?"
11
Jesus
replied, "To
be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.
12
But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize
him, but have done to him everything they wished.
In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."
13
Then
the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the
Baptist. 14
When
they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
15
"Lord,
have mercy on my son," he said. "He has seizures and is
suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16
I
brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."
17
"O
unbelieving and perverse generation,"
Jesus replied, "how
long shall I stay with you?
How long shall I put up with you?
Bring the boy here to me."
18
Jesus
rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from
that moment.
19
Then
the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't
we drive it out?"
20
He
replied, "Because
you have so little faith.
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mountain,
`Move
from here to there' and it will move.
Nothing will be impossible for you.
A"
22
When
they came together in Galilee, he said to them, "The
Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.
23
They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life."
And
the disciples were filled with grief.
24
After
Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the
two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, "Doesn't your teacher
pay the temple tax B?"
25
"Yes,
he does," he replied.
When
Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. "What
do you think, Simon?"
he asked. "From
whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes--from their own
sons or from others?"
26
"From
others," Peter answered.
"Then
the sons are exempt,"
Jesus said to him. 27
"But
so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your
line.
Take the first fish you catch;
open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin.
Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours."

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."
