1 The
king rejoices in your strength, LORD!
How
greatly he rejoices in your yeshu`ah!
2 You
have given him his heart's desire,
And
have not withheld the request of his lips.
Selah.
3 For
you meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You
set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 He
asked life of you, you gave it to him,
Even
length of days forever and ever.
5 His
glory is great in your salvation.
You
lay honor and majesty on him.
6 For
you make him most blessed forever.
You
make him glad with joy in your presence.
7 For
the king trusts in the LORD.
Through
the loving kindness of Ha`Elyon,
he
shall not be moved.
8 Your
hand will find out all of your enemies.
Your
right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 You
will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
The
LORD will swallow them up in his wrath.
The
fire shall devour them.
10 You
will destroy their descendants from the eretz,
Their
posterity from among the children of men.
11 For
they intended evil against you.
They
plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12 For
you will make them turn their back,
When
you aim drawn bows at their face.
13 Be
exalted, LORD, in your strength,
So
we will sing and praise your power.
PSALMS:

1 Have
mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
According
to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my
transgressions.
And
done that which is evil in your sight;
That
you may be proved right when you speak,
And
justified when you judge.
14 Deliver
me from blood guiltiness,
O
God, the God of my salvation.
My
tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Lord,
open my lips.
My
mouth shall declare your praise.
16 For
you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
You
have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17 The
sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
A
broken and contrite heart,
O
God, you will not despise.
18 Do
well in your good pleasure to Tziyon.
Build
the walls of Yerushalayim.
19 Then
will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In
burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings.
Then
they will offer bulls on your altar.
PSALMS:

1 Sing
aloud to God, our strength!
Make
a joyful noise to the God of Ya`akov!
When
he went out over the land of Mitzrayim,
I
heard a language that I didn't know.
I
answered you in the secret place of thunder.
I
tested you at the waters of Merivah."
Selah.
Who
brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim.
Open
your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
That
they might walk in their own counsels.
I
will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."
PSALMS:

1 Praise
the LORD!
I
will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,
In
the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
He
has ordained his covenant forever.
His
name is holy and awesome!
All
those who do his work have a good understanding.
His
praise endures forever!
PSALMS:
141
1 LORD,
I have called on you. Come to me quickly!
Listen
to my voice when I call to you.
The
lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
To
practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity.
Don't
let me eat of their delicacies.
Let
him reprove me, it is like oil on the head;
Don't
let my head refuse it;
Yet
my prayer is always against evil deeds.
They
will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
PROVERBS:

1 The
king's heart is in the LORD's hand like the watercourses.
He
turns it wherever he desires.
And
everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
Than
to share a house with a contentious woman.
When
the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
20 There
is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
But
a foolish man swallows it up.
21 He
who follows after righteousness and kindness
Finds
life, righteousness, and honor.
22 A
wise man scales the city of the mighty,
And
brings down the strength of its confidence.
23Whoever
guards his mouth and his tongue
Keeps
his soul from troubles.
24 The
proud and haughty man, "scoffer" is his name;
He
works in the arrogance of pride.
25 The
desire of the sluggard kills him,
For
his hands refuse to labor.
26 There
are those who covet greedily all the day long;
But
the righteous gives and doesn't withhold.
27 The
sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination:
How
much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
28 A
false witness will perish,
And
a man who listens speaks to eternity.
29 A
wicked man hardens his face;
But
as for the upright, he establishes his ways.
30 There
is no wisdom nor understanding
Nor
counsel against the LORD.
OLD
TESTAMENT:
JEREMIAH 14:11 - 16:15
14:11 The
LORD said to me, Don't pray for this people for [their] good. 12 When
they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt
offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will
consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the
pestilence. 13 Then
said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets tell them, You shall not
see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you
assured shalom in this place. 14 Then
the LORD said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I didn't
send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to them:
they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of
nothing, and the deceit of their own heart. 15 Therefore
thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name,
and I didn't send them, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be
in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be
consumed. 16 The
people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of
Yerushalayim because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have
none to bury them-them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their
daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them. 17 You
shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with tears night
and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people
is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound. 18
If
I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword!
and if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with
famine! for both the prophet and the Kohen go about in the land, and
have no knowledge. 19 Have
you utterly rejected Yehudah? has your soul loathed Tziyon? why have
you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for shalom,
but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold,
dismay! 20 We
acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers;
for we have sinned against you. 21 Do
not abhor [us], for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of
your glory: remember, don't break your covenant with us.22 Are
there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or
can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, the LORD our God? therefore
we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
15:1 Then
said the LORD to me, Though Moshe and Shemu'el stood before me, yet
my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight,
and let them go forth. 2 It
shall happen, when they tell you, Where shall we go forth? then you
shall tell them, Thus says the LORD: Such as are for death, to death;
and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the
famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to
captivity. 3 I
will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to kill,
and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of
the eretz, to devour and to destroy. 4
I
will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of
the eretz, because of Menashsheh, the son of Hizkiyahu, king of
Yehudah, for that which he did in Yerushalayim. 5 For
who will have pity on you, Yerushalayim? or who will bemoan you? or
who will turn aside to ask of your welfare? 6
You
have rejected me, says the LORD, you are gone backward: therefore
have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am
weary with repenting. 7 I
have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have
bereaved [them] of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn't
return from their ways. 8 Their
widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought
on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I
have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her suddenly. 9 She
who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun
is gone down while it was yet day; she has been put to shame and
confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword
before their enemies, says the LORD. 10 Woe
is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of
contention to the whole eretz! I have not lent, neither have men lent
to me; [yet] everyone of them does curse me. 11 The
LORD said, Most assuredly I will strengthen you for good; most
assuredly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the
time of evil and in the time of affliction. 12 Can
one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass? 13 Your
substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil without price,
and that for all your sins, even in all your borders. 14 I
will make [them] to pass with your enemies into a land which you
don't know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on
you. 15
LORD,
you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors;
don't take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I
have suffered reproach. 16 Your
words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and
the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, the LORD,
God Tzva'ot. 17 I
didn't sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I
sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me with
indignation. 18 Why
is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be
healed? will you indeed be to me as a deceitful [brook], as waters
that fail? 19 Therefore
thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, that
you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the
vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you
shall not return to them. 20 I
will make you to this people a fortified brazen wall; and they shall
fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am
with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD. 21 I
will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you
out of the hand of the terrible.
16:1 The
word of the LORD came also to me, saying, 2
You
shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in
this place. 3 For
thus says the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters
who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore
them, and concerning their fathers who became the father of them in
this land: 4 They
shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall
they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground;
and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their
dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the
animals of the eretz. 5 For
thus says the LORD, Don't enter into the house of mourning, neither
go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my shalom
from this people, says the LORD, even lovingkindness and tender
mercies. 6 Both
great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried,
neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make
themselves bald for them;
7
neither
shall men break [bread] for them in mourning, to comfort them for the
dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for
their father or for their mother. 8 You
shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and
to drink. 9
For
thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el: Behold, I will
cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days,
the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom and the voice of the bride. 10 It
shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and
they shall tell you, Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil
against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have
committed against the LORD our God? 11 Then
shall you tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says the
LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and
have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my
law; 12 and
you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, you walk
every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don't
listen to me: 13 therefore
will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that you have
not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there shall you serve
other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor. 14 Therefore,
behold, the days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be said,
As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Yisra'el out of the
land of Mitzrayim; 15 but,
As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Yisra'el from the
land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven
them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their
fathers.
NEW
TESTAMENT: 1 THESSALONIANS 2:9 – 3:13
2:9 For
you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and
day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good
News of God. 10 You
are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we
behaved ourselves toward you who believe. 11 As
you know how we exhorted, comforted, and implored everyone of you, as
a father does his own children, 12 to
the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his
own kingdom and glory. 13 For
this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received
from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the
word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also
works in you who believe. 14 For
you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in
Yehudah in Messiah Yeshua; for you also suffered the same things from
your own countrymen, even as they did from the Yehudim; 15 who
killed both the Lord Yeshua and their own prophets, and drove us out,
and didn't please God, and are contrary to all men; 16 forbidding
us to speak to the Goyim that they may be saved; to fill up their
sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost. 17 But
we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence,
not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great
desire, 18 because
we wanted to come to you -- indeed, I, Sha'ul, once and again -- but
Hasatan hindered us. 19 For
what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you,
before our Lord Yeshua at his coming? 20 For
you are our glory and our joy.
3:1 Therefore,
when we couldn't stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left
behind at Athens alone,2 and
sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the Good News of
Messiah, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your
faith; 3 that
no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are
appointed to this task. 4 For
most assuredly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we
are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know. 5 For
this cause I also, when I couldn't stand it any longer, sent that I
might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had
tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain. 6 But
when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us glad news
of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always,
longing to see us, even as we also long to see you; 7 for
this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress
and affliction through your faith. 8 For
now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. 9 For
what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy
with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God; 10 night
and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may
perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 11 Now
may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
direct our way to you; 12 and
the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another,
and toward all men, even as we also do toward you, 13 to
the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our
God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua with all his holy
ones.
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."
