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:

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:
EZEKIEL 21:1 - 22:31
21:1 The
word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 Son
of man, set your face toward Yerushalayim, and drop [your word]
toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against Eretz-Yisra'el; 3 and
tell Eretz-Yisra'el, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am against you,
and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off
from you the righteous and the wicked. 4 Seeing
then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked,
therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all
flesh from the south to the north: 5 and
all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, have drawn forth my sword out
of its sheath; it shall not return any more. 6 Sigh
therefore, you son of man; with the breaking of your loins and with
bitterness shall you sigh before their eyes. 7
It shall be, when they tell you, Why do you sigh? that you shall
say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt,
and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all
knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be
done, says the Lord GOD. 8 The
word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 Son
of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD: Say, A sword, a
sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished; 10 it
is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it
may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it
condemns every tree. 11 It
is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is
sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the
killer. 12 Cry
and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the
princes of Yisra'el: they are delivered over to the sword with my
people; strike therefore on your thigh. 13 For
there is a trial; and what if even the rod that condemns shall be no
more? says the Lord GOD. 14 You
therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and
let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly
wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded,
which enters into their chambers. 15 I
have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their
heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made
as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter. 16 Gather
you together, go to the right, set yourself in array, go to the
left, wherever your face is set. 17 I
will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to
rest: I, the LORD, have spoken it. 18 The
word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 19 Also,
you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of
Bavel may come; they both shall come forth out of one land: and mark
out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city. 20 You
shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children
of `Ammon, and to Yehudah in Yerushalayim the fortified. 21 For
the king of Bavel stood at the parting of the way, at the head of
the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows back and forth,
he consulted the terafim, he looked in the liver. 22 In
his right hand was the divination [for] Yerushalayim, to set
battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the
voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to
cast up mounds, to build forts. 23 It
shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have
sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may
be taken. 24 Therefore
thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have made your iniquity to be
remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in
all your doings your sins do appear; because you have come to
memory, you shall be taken with the hand. 25 You,
deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Yisra'el, whose day is
come, in the time of the iniquity of the end, 26
thus
says the Lord GOD: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; this
[shall be] no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that
which is high.27 I
will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more,
until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him]. 28 You,
son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the
children of `Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say you, A
sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause
it to devour, that it may be as lightning; 29 while
they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to
lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day
is come in the time of the iniquity of the end. 30
Cause
it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created,
in the land of your birth, will I judge you. 31 I
will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the
fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish
men, skillful to destroy. 32 You
shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of
the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I, the LORD, have
spoken it.
22:1 Moreover
the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 You,
son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then
cause her to know all her abominations. 3 You
shall say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A city that sheds blood in the
midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against
herself to defile her! 4 You
have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled
in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to
draw near, and are come even to your years: therefore have I made
you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 5
Those
who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you
infamous one [and] full of tumult. 6 Behold,
the princes of Yisra'el, everyone according to his power, have been
in you to shed blood. 7 In
you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you
have they dealt by oppression with the sojourner; in you have they
wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8 You
have despised my holy things, and have profaned my
Shabbatot. 9 Slanderous
men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on
the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed
lewdness. 10 In
you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you have they
humbled her who was unclean in her impurity. 11 One
has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another has
lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled
his sister, his father's daughter. 12 In
you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest
and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by
oppression, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD. 13 Behold,
therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you
have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you. 14
Can
your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I
shall deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do
it. 15 I
will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the
countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you. 16 You
shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you
shall know that I am the LORD. 17 The
word of the LORD came to me, saying, 18 Son
of man, the house of Yisra'el is become dross to me: all of them are
brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they
are the dross of silver. 19 Therefore
thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are all become dross, therefore,
behold, I will gather you into the midst of Yerushalayim. 20 As
they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the
midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I
gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there,
and melt you. 21 Yes,
I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and
you shall be melted in the midst of it. 22 As
silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted
in the midst of it; and you shall know that I, the LORD, have poured
out my wrath on you. 23 The
word of the LORD came to me, saying, 24 Son
of man, tell her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on
in the day of indignation. 25 There
is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of it, like a roaring
lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure
and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst of
it.
26
Her
Kohanim have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy
things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the
common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean
and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Shabbatot, and I am
profaned among them. 27 Her
princes in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to
shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest
gain. 28 Her
prophets have daubed for them with whitewash, seeing false visions,
and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord GOD, when the
LORD has not spoken. 29 The
people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes,
they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner
wrongfully. 30 I
sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand
in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but
I found none. 31 Therefore
have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with
the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads,
says the Lord GOD.
NEW
TESTAMENT:
HEBREWS 10:1 - 17
10:1 For
the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of
the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which
they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
2
Or
else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered, because the
worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more
consciousness of sins?
3 But
in those sacrifices there is a memory made of sins year by year.
4 For
it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away
sins.
5 Therefore
when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering
you didn't desire, But a body did you prepare for me;
6 In
whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure.
7 Then
I said, 'Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is
written of me) To do your will, God.'"
8 Saying
above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had pleasure in them"
(those which are offered according to the law),
9 then
has he said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He
takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
10 by
which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body
of Yeshua the Messiah once for all.
11 Every
Kohen indeed stands day by day ministering and often offering the
same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
12 but
he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on
the right hand of God;
13 henceforth
expecting until his enemies to be made the footstool of his feet.
14 For
by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being
sanctified.
15 The
Ruach HaKodesh also testifies to us, for after he has said,
16 "This
is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says
the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them
on their mind;'" then,
17 "I
will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."
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."
