1 LORD,
who shall dwell in your sanctuary?
Who
shall live on your holy hill?
2 He
who walks blamelessly, does what is right,
And
speaks truth in his heart;
3 He
who doesn't slander with his tongue,
Nor
does evil to his friend,
Nor
casts slurs against his fellow man;
4
In
whose eyes a vile man is despised,
But
who honors those who fear the LORD;
He
who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;
5 He
who doesn't lend out his money for usury,
Nor
take a bribe against the innocent.
He
who does these things shall never be shaken.

1 My
heart overflows with a noble theme.
I
recite my verses for the king.
My
tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
Grace
has anointed your lips,
Therefore
God has blessed you forever.
The
nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's
enemies.
6 Your
throne, God, is forever and ever.
A
scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You
have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.
Therefore
God, your God, has anointed you with the oil
of
gladness above your fellows.
8 All
your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
Out
of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9 Kings'
daughters are among your honorable women.
At
your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ofir.
10 Listen,
daughter, consider, and turn your ear.
Forget
your own people, and also your father's house.
11 So
will the king desire your beauty,
Honor
him, for he is your lord.
12 The
daughter of Tzor comes with a gift.
The
rich among the people entreat your favor.
13 The
princess inside is all glorious.
Her
clothing is interwoven with gold.
14 She
shall be led to the king in embroidered work.
The
virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
15 With
gladness and rejoicing shall they be led.
They
shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Your
sons will take the place of your fathers.
You
shall make them princes in all the eretz.
17 I
will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
Therefore
the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
PSALMS:

1 We
give thanks to you, God,
We
give thanks, for your Name is near.
Men
tell about your wondrous works.
Full
of foaming wine mixed with spices.
He
pours it out.
Indeed
the wicked of the eretz drink and drink it to its very dregs.
PSALMS:

1 Give
thanks to the LORD!
Call
on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
18 They
bruised his feet with shackles.
His
neck was locked in irons,
19 Until
the time that his word happened,
And
the LORD's word proved him true.
20 The
king sent and freed him;
Even
the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 He
made him lord of his house,
And
ruler of all of his possessions;
22 To
discipline his princes at his pleasure,
And
to teach his Zakenim wisdom.
23
Yisra'el
also came into Mitzrayim.
Ya`akov
sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 He
increased his people greatly,
And
made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 He
turned their heart to hate his people,
To
conspire against his servants.
26 He
sent Moshe, his servant,
And
Aharon, whom he had chosen.
27 They
performed miracles among them,
And
wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He
sent darkness, and made it dark.
They
didn't rebel against his words.
29He
turned their waters into blood,
And
killed their fish.
30 Their
land swarmed with frogs,
Even
in the chambers of their kings.
31 He
spoke, and swarms of flies came, ‘
And
lice in all their borders.
32 He
gave them hail for rain,
With
lightning in their land.
33 He
struck their vines and also their fig trees,
And
shattered the trees of their country.
34 He
spoke, and the locusts came,
And
the grasshoppers, without number,
35 Ate
up every plant in their land;
Ate
up the fruit of their ground.
36 He
struck also all the firstborn in their land,
The
chief of all their strength.
37 He
brought them forth with silver and gold.
There
was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38Mitzrayim
was glad when they departed,
For
the fear of them had fallen on them.
39 He
spread a cloud for a covering,
Fire
to give light in the night.
40 They
asked, and he brought quails,
And
satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41 He
opened the rock, and waters gushed out.
They
ran as a river in the dry places.
42 For
he remembered his holy word,
And
Avraham, his servant.
43 He
brought forth his people with joy,
His
chosen with singing.
44 He
gave them the lands of the nations.
They
took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45 That
they might keep his statutes,
And
observe his laws.
Praise
the LORD!
PSALMS:
135
1 Praise
the LORD!
Praise
the name of the LORD!
Praise
him, you servants of the LORD,
In
heaven and in eretz, in the seas and in all deeps;
Who
makes lightnings with the rain;
Who
brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
PROVERBS:

1 A
gentle answer turns away wrath,
But
a harsh word stirs up anger.
But
the prayer of the upright is his delight.
But
he loves him who follows after righteousness.
But
one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
But
he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
Before
honor is humility.
OLD
TESTAMENT:
EZEKIEL 10:1 - 11:25
10:1 Then
I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the
Keruvim there appeared above them as it were a sappir stone, as the
appearance of the likeness of a throne. 2 He
spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the
whirling [wheels], even under the Keruv, and fill both your hands
with coals of fire from between the Keruvim, and scatter them over
the city. He went in as I watched. 3 Now
the Keruvim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went
in; and the cloud filled the inner court. 4 The
glory of the LORD mounted up from the Keruv, [and stood] over the
threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and
the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory. 5 The
sound of the wings of the Keruvim was heard even to the outer court,
as the voice of El Shaddai when he speaks. 6 It
came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying,
Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the
Keruvim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel. 7 The
Keruv stretched forth his hand from between the Keruvim to the fire
that was between the Keruvim, and took [of it], and put it into the
hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went
out. 8 There
appeared in the Keruvim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 I
looked, and behold, four wheels beside the Keruvim, one wheel beside
one Keruv, and another wheel beside another Keruv; and the
appearance of the wheels was like a bareket stone. 10 As
for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel have
been within a wheel. 11 When
they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as
they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it;
they didn't turn as they went. 12 Their
whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and
the wheels, were full of eyes round about, [even] the wheels that
they four had. 13 As
for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling
[wheels]. 14 Every
one had four faces: the first face was the face of the Keruv, and
the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face
of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 The
Keruvim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the
river Kevar. 16 When
the Keruvim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the Keruvim
lifted up their wings to mount up from the eretz, the wheels also
didn't turn from beside them. 17 When
they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up
with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. 18 The
glory of the LORD went forth from over the threshold of the house,
and stood over the Keruvim.19 The
Keruvim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the eretz in my
sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they
stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the
glory of the God of Yisra'el was over them above. 20
This
is the living creature that I saw under the God of Yisra'el by the
river Kevar; and I knew that they were Keruvim. 21 Every
one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of
the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 As
for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by
the river Kevar, their appearances and themselves; they went every
one straight forward.
11:1 Moreover
the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the
LORD's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate
twenty-five men; and I saw in the midst of them Ya`azanyah the son
of Azur, and Pelatyah the son of Benayah, princes of the
people. 2 He
said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and
who give wicked counsel in this city; 3 who
say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the
caldron, and we are the flesh. 4 Therefore
prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man. 5 The
Spirit of the LORD fell on me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says
the LORD: Thus have you said, house of Yisra'el; for I know the
things that come into your mind. 6You
have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled the
streets of it with the slain. 7
Therefore
thus says the Lord GOD: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst
of it, they are the flesh, and this [city] is the caldron; but you
shall be brought forth out of the midst of it. 8 You
have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you, says the
Lord GOD. 9 I
will bring you forth out of the midst of it, and deliver you into
the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. 10 You
shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Yisra'el;
and you shall know that I am the LORD. 11 This
[city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the flesh in
the midst of it; I will judge you in the border of Yisra'el; 12 and
you shall know that I am the LORD: for you have not walked in my
statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done
after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you. 13 It
happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatyah the son of Benayah died.
Then fell I down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said,
Ah Lord GOD! will you make a full end of the remnant of
Yisra'el? 14 The
word of the LORD came to me, saying, 15 Son
of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your
relatives, and all the house of Yisra'el, all of them, [are they] to
whom the inhabitants of Yerushalayim have said, Get you far from the
LORD; to us is this land given for a possession. 16 Therefore
say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Whereas I have removed them far off
among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the
countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in
the countries where they are come. 17 Therefore
say, Thus says the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples, and
assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and
I will give you Eretz-Yisra'el. 18
They
shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things
of it and all the abominations of it from there. 19 I
will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you;
and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give
them a heart of flesh; 20 that
they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them:
and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 But
as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable
things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own
heads, says the Lord GOD. 22
Then
did the Keruvim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside
them; and the glory of the God of Yisra'el was over them
above. 23 The
glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood on
the mountain which is on the east side of the city. 24 The
Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of
God into Kasdim, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had
seen went up from me. 25 Then
I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had
shown me.
NEW
TESTAMENT:
HEBREWS 6:1 - 20
6:1 Therefore
leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Messiah, let us
press on to perfection -- not laying again a foundation of
repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
2 of
the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of
the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 This
will we do, if God permits.
4 For
concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the
heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Ruach HaKodesh,
5
and
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,
6 and
then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance;
seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him
to open shame.
7 For
the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings
forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled,
receives blessing from God;
8 but
if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near a curse,
whose end is to be burned.
9 But,
beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that
accompany salvation, though we speak like this,
10 for
God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of
love which you shown toward his name, in that you served the holy
ones, and still do serve them.
11 We
desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the
fullness of hope even to the end,
12 that
you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and
patience inherited the promises.
13 For
when God made a promise to Avraham, since he could swear by none
greater, he swore by himself,
14 saying,
"Most surely I will bless you, and I will surely multiply
you."
15 Thus,
having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For
men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs
the oath is final for confirmation.
17
Wherein
God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the
promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18 that
by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie,
we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take
hold of the hope set before us,
19 which
we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and
entering into that which is within the veil;
20 where
as a forerunner Yeshua entered for us, having become a Kohen Gadol
forever after the order of Malki-Tzedek.
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."
