1 Preserve
me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 My
soul, you have said to the LORD,
"You
are my Lord.
Apart
from you I have no good thing."
3 As
for the holy ones who are in the eretz,
They
are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Their
sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god.
Their
drink-offerings of blood I will not offer,
Nor
take their names on my lips.
5 The
LORD assigned my portion and my cup.
You
made my lot secure.
6
The
lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.
Yes,
I have a good inheritance.
7
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel.
Yes,
my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I
have set the LORD always before me.
Because
he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore
my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.
My
body shall also dwell in safety.
10 For
you will not leave my soul in She'ol,
Neither
will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11
You
will show me the path of life.
In
your presence is fullness of joy.
In
your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

1 God
is our refuge and strength,
A
very present help in trouble.
Though
the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
Though
the mountains tremble with the swelling of it. Selah.
The
holy place of the tents of Ha`Elyon.
He
breaks the bow, and cuts the spear apart.
He
burns the chariots in the fire.
I
will be exalted among the nations.
I
will be exalted in the eretz."

His

Selah.
They
have slept their last sleep.
None
of the men of war can lift their hands.
Let
all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12
He
will cut off the spirit of princes.
He
is feared by the kings of the eretz.

1 Praise
the LORD!
Give
thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
For
his loving kindness endures forever.
That
I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
That
I may glory with your inheritance.
They
didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses,
But
were rebellious at the sea, even at the Sea of Suf.
So
he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
13 They
soon forgot his works.
They
didn't wait for his counsel,
14 But
gave in to craving in the desert,
And
tested God in the wasteland.
15 He
gave them their request,
But
sent leanness into their soul.
16 They
envied Moshe also in the camp,
And
Aharon, the LORD's holy one.
17 The
eretz opened and swallowed up Datan,
And
covered the company of Aviram.
18 A
fire was kindled in their company.
The
flame burned up the wicked.
19 They
made a calf in Horev,
And
worshiped a molten image.
20 Thus
they exchanged their glory
For
an image of a bull that eats grass.
21
They
forgot God, their Savior,
Who
had done great things in Mitzrayim,
22 Wondrous
works in the land of Ham,
And
awesome things by the Sea of Suf.
23 Therefore
he said that he would destroy them,
Had
Moshe, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach,
To
turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.
24 Yes,
they despised the pleasant land.
They
didn't believe his word,
25 But
murmured in their tents,
And
didn't listen to the voice of the LORD.
26 Therefore
he swore to them
That
he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 That
he would overthrow their seed among the nations,
And
scatter them in the lands.
28 They
joined themselves also to Ba`al-Pe`or,
And
ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus
they provoked him to anger with their deeds.
The
plague broke in on them.
30 Then
Pinechas stood up, and executed judgment,
So
the plague was stopped.
31 That
was credited to him for righteousness,
To
all generations forevermore.
32 They
angered him also at the waters of Merivah,
So
that Moshe was troubled for their sakes;
33 Because
they were rebellious against his spirit,
He
spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They
didn't destroy the peoples,
As
the LORD commanded them,
35 But
mixed themselves with the nations,
Learned
their works.
36 They
served their idols,
Which
became a snare to them.
37
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 They
shed innocent blood,
Even
the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
Whom
they sacrificed to the idols of Kana`an.
The
land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus
were they defiled with their works,
And
prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40 Therefore
the wrath of the LORD was kindled against his people.
He
abhorred his inheritance.
41 He
gave them into the hand of the nations.
Those
who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their
enemies also oppressed them.
They
were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Many
times he delivered them,
But
they were rebellious in their counsel,
And
were brought low in their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless
he regarded their distress,
When
he heard their cry.
45 He
remembered for them his covenant,
And
repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
46 He
made them also to be pitied
By
all those who carried them captive.
47 Save
us, LORD, our God,
Gather
us from among the nations,
To
give thanks to your holy name,
To
triumph in your praise!
48 Blessed
be the LORD, the God of Yisra'el,
From
everlasting even to everlasting!
Let
all the people say, ‘
"Amein.
"
Praise the LORD!

1 The
plans of the heart belong to man,
But
the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
They
shall assuredly not be unpunished.
Yes,
to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
But
the punishment of fools is their folly.
One
who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
OLD
TESTAMENT:
JEREMIAH 4:19 - 6:15
4:19 My
anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is
disquieted in me; I can't hold my shalom; because you have heard, O
my soul, the sound of the shofar, the alarm of war. 20Destruction
on destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly
are my tents destroyed, [and] my curtains in a moment. 21 How
long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the shofar?
22 For
my people are foolish, they don't know me; they are foolish children,
and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do
good they have no knowledge. 23 I
saw the eretz, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens,
and they had no light. 24 I
saw the mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills
moved back and forth. 25 I
saw, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were
fled. 26 I
saw, and, behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the
cities of it were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and]
before his fierce anger. 27 For
thus says the LORD, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I
not make a full end. 28 For
this shall the eretz mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I
have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither
will I turn back from it. 29 Every
city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into
the thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city is forsaken, and
not a man dwells therein. 30 You,
when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe
yourself with scarlet, though you deck you with ornaments of gold,
though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself
beautiful; [your] lovers despise you, they seek your life. 31 For
I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her
who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of
Tziyon, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, [saying], Woe is
me now! for my soul faints before the murderers.
5:1 Run
you back and forth through the streets of Yerushalayim, and see now,
and know, and seek in the broad places of it, if you can find a man,
if there are any who does justly, who seeks truth; and I will pardon
her. 2 Though
they say, As the LORD lives; surely they swear falsely. 3 O
LORD, don't your eyes look on truth? you have stricken them, but they
were not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to
receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock;
they have refused to return. 4 Then
I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they don't know
the way of the LORD, nor the law of their God: 5 I
will get me to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know
the way of the LORD, and the law of their God. But these with one
accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. 6 Therefore
a lion out of the forest shall kill them, a wolf of the evenings
shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities;
everyone who goes out there shall be torn in pieces; because their
transgressions are many, [and] their backsliding is increased. 7 How
can I pardon you? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them
that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed
adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes'
houses. 8 They
were as fed horses roaming at large; everyone neighed after his
neighbor's wife. 9 Shall
I not visit for these things? says the LORD; and shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this? 10 Go
up on her walls, and destroy; but don't make a full end: take away
her branches; for they are not the LORD's. 11
For
the house of Yisra'el and the house of Yehudah have dealt very
treacherously against me, says the LORD. 12 They
have denied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come
on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: 13 and
the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus
shall it be done to them. 14 Therefore
thus says the LORD, the God Tzva'ot,, Because you speak this word,
behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people
wood, and it shall devour them. 15
Behold,
I will bring a nation on you from far, house of Yisra'el, says the
LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose
language you don't know, neither understand what they say. 16 Their
quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men. 17
They
shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, [which] your sons and your
daughters should eat; they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees; they shall beat down
your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword. 18 But
even in those days, says the LORD, I will not make a full end with
you. 19 It
shall happen, when you shall say, Why has the LORD our God done all
these things to us? then shall you say to them, Like as you have
forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so shall you serve
strangers in a land that is not yours. 20 Declare
you this in the house of Ya`akov, and publish it in Yehudah,
saying, 21 Hear
now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes,
and don't see; who have ears, and don't hear: 22 Don't
you fear me? says the LORD: won't you tremble at my presence, who
have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree,
that it can't pass it? and though the waves of it toss themselves,
yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over
it. 23 But
this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted
and gone. 24
Neither
say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, who gives
rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to
us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 25 Your
iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld
good from you. 26 For
among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in
wait; they set a trap, they catch men. 27 As
a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit:
therefore they are become great, and grew rich.
28
They
are grew fat, they shine: yes, they overpass in deeds of wickedness;
they don't plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they
may prosper; and the right of the needy they don't judge. 29 Shall
I not visit for these things? says the LORD; shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this? 30 A
wonderful and horrible thing is happen in the land: 31 the
prophets prophesy falsely, and the Kohanim bear rule by their means;
and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end of
it?
6:1 Flee
for safety, you children of Binyamin, out of the midst of
Yerushalayim, and blow the shofar in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on
Beit-Hakkerem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great
destruction. 2 The
comely and delicate one, the daughter of Tziyon, will I cut
off. 3 Shepherds
with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents
against her round about; they shall feed everyone in his
place. 4 Prepare
you war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for
the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched
out. 5 Arise,
and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces. 6 For
thus has the LORD of Hosts said, Hew you down trees, and cast up a
mound against Yerushalayim: this is the city to be visited; she is
wholly oppression in the midst of her.7 As
a well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness:
violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is
sickness and wounds. 8 Be
instructed, Yerushalayim, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I
make you a desolation, a land not inhabited. 9 Thus
says the LORD of Hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of
Yisra'el as a vine: turn again your hand as a grape-gatherer into the
baskets. 10 To
whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear
is uncircumcised, and they can't listen: behold, the word of the LORD
is become to them a reproach; they have no delight in
it. 11 Therefore
I am full of the wrath of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: pour
it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young
men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the
aged with him who is full of days. 12 Their
houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives
together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the
land, says the LORD. 13 For
from the least of them even to the greatest of them everyone is given
to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the Kohen everyone
deals falsely. 14 They
have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, Shalom,
shalom; when there is no shalom. 15 Were
they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not
at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall
among those who fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be
cast down, says the LORD.

TESTAMENT:
COLOSSIANS 1:18 - 2:7
1:18 He
is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the
preeminence. 19 For
all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him; 20 and
through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made shalom
through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on
the eretz, or things in the heavens. 21 You,
being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil
works, 22 yet
now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to
present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him, 23 if
it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and
not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which
is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Sha'ul,
was made a servant. 24 Now
I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that
which is lacking of the afflictions of Messiah in my flesh for his
body's sake, which is the assembly; 25
of
which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which
was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 the
mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it
has been revealed to his holy ones, 27 to
whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory
of this mystery among the Goyim, which is Messiah in you, the hope of
glory; 28 whom
we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all
wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah
Yeshua; 29 for
which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in
me mightily.
2:1 For
I desire to have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them
at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the
flesh; 2 that
their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and
to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may
know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Messiah, 3 in
whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden. 4 Now
this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of
speech. 5 For
though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit,
rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith
in Messiah. 6 As
therefore you received Messiah Yeshua, the Lord, walk in
him, 7 rooted
and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were
taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
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."
