1 May
the LORD answer you in the day of trouble.
May
the name of the God of Ya`akov set you up on high,
2 Send
you help from the sanctuary,
Grant
you support from Tziyon,
3 Remember
all your offerings,
And
accept your burnt-sacrifice. Selah.
4 May
He grant you your heart's desire,
And
fulfill all your counsel.
5 We
will triumph in your yeshu`ah.
In
the name of our God we will set up our banners:
The
LORD fulfill all your petitions.
6 Now
I know that the LORD saves his anointed.
He
will answer him from his holy heaven,
With
the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some
trust in chariots, and some in horses,
But
we trust the name of the LORD our God.
8
They
are bowed down and fallen,
But
we rise up, and stand upright.
9 Save,
LORD;
Let
the King answer us when we call!

1 The
Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks,
And
calls the eretz from sunrise to sunset.
A
fire devours before him.
It
is very tempestuous around him.
10 For
every animal of the forest is mine,
And
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I
know all the birds of the mountains.
The
wild animals of the field are mine.
12 If
I were hungry, I would not tell you,
For
the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 Will
I eat the flesh of bulls,
Or
drink the blood of goats?
14
Offer
to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
Pay
your vows to Ha`Elyon.
15 Call
on me in the day of trouble.
I
will deliver you, and you will honor me."
16 But
to the wicked God says,
"What
right do you have to declare my statutes,
That
you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17
Seeing you hate instruction,
And
throw my words behind you?
18 When
you saw a thief, you consented with him,
And
have participated with adulterers.
19 "You
give your mouth to evil.
You
harnesses your tongue for deceit.
20 You
sit and speak against your brother.
You
slander your own mother's son.
21 You
have done these things, and I kept silent.
You
thought that the "I AM" was just like you.
I
will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
22
"Now
consider this, you who forget God,
Lest
I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoever
offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,
And
prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him."

us, Shepherd of Yisra'el,
You
who lead Yosef like a flock,
You
who sit above the Keruvim, shine forth.
On

1 The
LORD says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
Until
I make your enemies your footstool for your feet."
Rule
in the midst of your enemies.
In
holy array.
Out
of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.
"You
are a Kohen forever in the order of Malki-Tzedek."
He
will heap up dead bodies.
He
will crush the ruler of the whole eretz.

1 Deliver
me, LORD, from the evil man.
Preserve
me from the violent man;
Preserve
me from the violent men:
Who
have determined to trip my feet.
They
have spread the cords of a net by the path.
They
have set traps for me.
Selah.
Don't
let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.
Let
them be thrown into the fire,
Into
miry pits, from where they never rise.
Evil
will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

1 Wine
is a mocker, and beer is a brawler;
Whoever
is let astray by them is not wise.
He
who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
Therefore
he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
Whether
his work is pure, and whether it is right.
Open
your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
And
hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
Therefore
don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
24 A
man's steps are from the LORD;
How
then can man understand his way?
25 It
is a snare to a man make a rash dedication,
And
later reconsider his vows.
26 A
wise king winnows out the wicked,
And
drives the threshing wheel over them.
27 The
spirit of man is the LORD's lamp,
Searching
all his innermost parts.
28 Love
and faithfulness keep the king safe.
His
throne is sustained by love.
29 The
glory of young men is their strength.
The
splendor of old men is their gray hair.
30 Wounding
blows cleanse away evil,
And
beatings purge the innermost parts.
OLD
TESTAMENT:
JEREMIAH 12:1 - 14:10
12:1 Righteous
are you, LORD, when I contend with you; yet would I reason the cause
with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they at
ease who deal very treacherously? 2 You
have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they
bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their
heart. 3 But
you, LORD, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward you: pull
them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day
of slaughter. 4 How
long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither?
for the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals are
consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our
latter end. 5 If
you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how
can you contend with horses? and though in a land of shalom you are
secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Yarden? 6 For
even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have
dealt treacherously with you; even they have cried aloud after you:
don't believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you. 7
I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given
the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. 8
My
heritage is become to me as a lion in the forest: she has uttered her
voice against me; therefore I have hated her. 9 Is
my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey
against her round about? go you, assemble all the animals of the
field, bring them to devour. 10 Many
shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion
under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate
wilderness. 11 They
have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole
land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart. 12 Destroyers
are come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of
the LORD devours from the one end of the land even to the other end
of the land: no flesh has shalom. 13 They
have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to
pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of your fruits,
because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 14 Thus
says the LORD against all my evil neighbors, who touch the
inheritance which I have caused my people Yisra'el to inherit:
behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up
the house of Yehudah from among them. 15 It
shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and
have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to
his heritage, and every man to his land. 16 It
shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to
swear by my name, As the LORD lives; even as they taught my people to
swear by Ba`al; then shall they be built up in the midst of my
people. 17 But
if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up
and destroying it, says the LORD.
13:1 Thus
says the LORD to me, Go, and buy you a linen belt, and put it on your
loins, and don't put it in water. 2 So
I bought a belt according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my
loins. 3 The
word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, 4 Take
the belt that you have bought, which is on your loins, and arise, go
to the Perat, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock. 5 So
I went, and hid it by the Perat, as the LORD commanded me. 6 It
happened after many days, that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to the
Perat, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide
there. 7
Then I went to the Perat, and dug, and took the belt from the place
where I had hid it; and, behold, the belt was marred, it was
profitable for nothing. 8 Then
the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 Thus
says the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Yehudah, and
the great pride of Yerushalayim. 10 This
evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the
stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve
them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is
profitable for nothing. 11 For
as the belt cleaves to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave
to me the whole house of Yisra'el and the whole house of Yehudah,
says the LORD; that they may be to me for a people, and for a name,
and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not
hear. 12 Therefore
you shall speak to them this word: Thus says the LORD, the God of
Yisra'el, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall tell
you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with
wine? 13 Then
shall you tell them, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the
inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne,
and the Kohanim, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim, with drunkenness. 14 I
will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons
together, says the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have
compassion, that I should not destroy them. 15
Hear
you, and give ear; don't be proud; for the LORD has spoken. 16 Give
glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your
feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he
turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But
if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for [your]
pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because
the LORD's flock is taken captive. 18 Say
you to the king and to the queen-mother, Humble yourselves, sit down;
for your headdresses are come down, even the crown of your
glory. 19 The
cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them:
Yehudah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried away
captive. 20 Lift
up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the
flock that was given you, your beautiful flock? 21 What
will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have
yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows take hold of
you, as of a woman in travail? 22 If
you say in your heart, Why are these things come on me? for the
greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels
suffer violence. 23 Can
the Kushite change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you
also do good, who are accustomed to do evil. 24
Therefore
will I scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of
the wilderness. 25 This
is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says the LORD;
because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 26 Therefore
will I also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall
appear. 27 I
have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing,
the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to
you, Yerushalayim! you will not be made clean; how long shall it yet
be?
14:1 The
word of the LORD that came to Yirmeyahu concerning the
drought. 2 Yehudah
mourns, and the gates of it languish, they sit in black on the
ground; and the cry of Yerushalayim is gone up. 3 Their
nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the
cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty;
they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their
heads. 4 Because
of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land,
the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their heads. 5 Yes,
the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes [her young], because
there is no grass. 6 The
wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like
jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage. 7 Though
our iniquities testify against us, work you for your name's sake,
LORD; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against
you. 8 You
hope of Yisra'el, the Savior of it in the time of trouble, why should
you be as a sojourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns
aside to stay for a night? 9 Why
should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't save? yet
you, LORD, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name;
don't leave us. 10 Thus
says the LORD to this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they
have not refrained their feet: therefore the LORD does not accept
them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

TESTAMENT:
1 THESSALONIANS 1:1 - 2:8
1:1 Sha'ul,
Sila, and Timothy, To the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the
Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah: Grace to you and shalom from
God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 2
We
always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our
prayers, 3 remembering
without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of
hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, before our God and Father. 4 We
know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen, 5 and
that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power,
and in the Ruach HaKodesh, and with much assurance. You know what
kind of men we shown ourselves to be among you for your sake. 6 You
became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in
much affliction, with joy of the Ruach HaKodesh, 7 so
that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in
Achaia. 8 For
from you has sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in
Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God
has gone forth; so that we need not to say anything. 9 For
they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had
from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and
true God, 10
and
to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead --
Yeshua, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
2:1 For
you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you hasn't been found
vain, 2 but
having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at
Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in
much conflict. 3 For
our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in
deception. 4 But
even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good
News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our
hearts. 5 For
neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you
know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness), 6 nor
seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we
might have claimed authority as apostles of Messiah. 7
But
we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherishes her own
children. 8 Even
so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to
you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because
you had become very dear to us.
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."
