1 I
will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart.
I
will tell of all your marvelous works.
2 I
will be glad and rejoice in you.
I
will sing praise to your name, O Elyon.
3 When
my enemies turn back,
They
stumble and perish in your presence.
4 For
you have maintained my right and my cause.
You
sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 You
have rebuked the nations.
You
have destroyed the wicked.
You
have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 The
enemy is overtaken by endless ruin.
The
very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 But
the LORD reigns forever.
He
has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 He
will judge the world in righteousness.
He
will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 The
LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
A
high tower in times of trouble.
10 Those
who know your name will put their trust in you,
For
you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11 Sing
praises to the LORD, who dwells in Tziyon,
And
declare among the people what he has done.
12 For
he who avenges blood remembers them.
He
doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 Have
mercy on me, LORD.
See
my affliction by those who hate me,
And
lift me up from the gates of death;
14 That
I may show forth all your praise.
In
the gates of the daughter of Tziyon I will rejoice in your
salvation.
15 The
nations have sunk down in the pit that they made;
In
the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16 The
LORD has made himself known.
He
has executed judgment.
The
wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.
Meditation.
Selah.
17
The
wicked shall be turned back to She'ol,
Even
all the nations that forget God.
18 For
the needy shall not always be forgotten,
Nor
the hope of the poor perish forever.
19
Arise,
LORD! Don't let man prevail.
Let
the nations be judged in your sight.
20 Put
them in fear, LORD.
Let
the nations know that they are only men.
Selah.

1 I
said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my
tongue.
I
will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
My
lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely
every man stands as a breath."
Selah.
Surely
they busy themselves in vain.
He
heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.
You
consume his wealth like a moth.
Surely
every man is but a breath."

1 Save
me, God,
For
the waters have come up to my neck!
I
have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
Those
who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty.
I
have to restore what I didn't take away.
Lord
GOD of Hosts.
Don't
let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
God
of Yisra'el.
The
reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
God,
in the abundance of your loving kindness,
answer
me in the truth of your salvation.
Let
me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Neither
let the deep swallow me up.
Don't
let the pit shut its mouth on me.
According
to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.
I
looked for some to take pity, but there was none;
For
comforters, but I found none.
21 They
also gave me gall for my food.
In
my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let
their table before them become a snare.
May
it become a retribution and a trap.
23 Let
their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see.
Make
their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour
out your indignation on them.
Let
the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Let
their habitation be desolate.
Let
no one dwell in their tents.
26 For
they persecute him whom you have wounded.
They
tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
27 Charge
them with crime upon crime.
Don't
let them come into your righteousness.
28
Let
them be blotted out of the book of life,
And
not be written with the righteous.
29 But
I am in pain and distress.
Let
your yeshu`ah, God, protect me.
30 I
will praise the name of God with a song,
And
will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 It
will please the LORD better than an ox,
Or
a bull that has horns and hoofs.
32 The
humble have seen it, and are glad.
You
who seek after God, let your heart live.
33
For
the LORD hears the needy,
And
doesn't despise his captive people.
34 Let
heaven and eretz praise him;
The
seas, and everything that moves therein!
35 For
God will save Tziyon, and build the cities of Yehudah.
They
shall settle there, and own it.
36
The
children also of his servants shall inherit it.
Those
who love his name shall dwell therein.
PSALMS:

1 The
LORD reigns!
Let
the peoples tremble.
He
sits enthroned among the Keruvim.
Let
the eretz be moved.
You
do establish equity.
You
execute justice and righteousness in Ya`akov.
Shemu'el
among those who call on his name;
They
called on the LORD, and he answered them.
They
kept his testimonies,
The
statute that he gave them.
You
are a God who forgave them,
Although
you took vengeance for their doings.

1 Many
times have they afflicted me from my youth up.
Let
Yisra'el now say,
"The
blessing of the LORD be on you.
We
bless you in the name of the LORD."
As
for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
Teach
a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

TESTAMENT:
LAMENTATIONS 1:1 - 2:22
1:1 How
does the city sit solitary, that was full of people! She has become
as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess
among the provinces is become tributary! 2 She
weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; Among all
her lovers she has none to comfort her: All her friends have dealt
treacherously with her; they are become her enemies. 3 Yehudah
is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great
servitude; She dwells among the nations, she finds no rest: All her
persecutors overtook her within the straits. 4 The
ways of Tziyon do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly;
All her gates are desolate, her Kohanim do sigh: Her virgins are
afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness. 5 Her
adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; For the LORD
has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: Her young
children are gone into captivity before the adversary. 6 From
the daughter of Tziyon all her majesty is departed: Her princes are
become like harts that find no pasture, They are gone without
strength before the pursuer. 7 Yerushalayim
remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her
pleasant things that were from the days of old: When her people fell
into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her, The
adversaries saw her, they did mock at her
desolations. 8 Yerushalayim
has grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing;
All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her
nakedness: Yes, she sighs, and turns backward. 9 Her
filthiness was in her skirts; she didn't remember her latter end;
Therefore is she come down wonderfully; she has no comforter: See,
LORD, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself. 10 The
adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things: For
she has seen that the nations are entered into her sanctuary,
Concerning whom you did command that they should not enter into your
assembly. 11 All
her people sigh, they seek bread; They have given their pleasant
things for food to refresh the soul: Look, LORD, and see; for I am
become abject. 12 Is
it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there be
any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, With which the
LORD has afflicted [me] in the day of his fierce anger. 13 From
on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against
them; He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: He has
made me desolate and faint all the day. 14 The
yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; They are knit
together, they are come up on my neck; he has made my strength to
fail: The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am
not able to stand.15 The
Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men in the midst of me; He has
called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: The Lord
has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Yehudah. 16 For
these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water; Because
the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me: My children
are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed. 17 Tziyon
spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; The LORD has
commanded concerning Ya`akov, that those who are round about him
should be his adversaries: Yerushalayim is among them as an unclean
thing. 18 The
LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his mitzvah: Please
hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow: My virgins and my young men
are gone into captivity. 19 I
called for my lovers, [but] they deceived me: My Kohanim and my
Zakenim gave up the spirit in the city, While they sought them food
to refresh their souls. 20 See,
LORD; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled; My heart is turned
within me; for I have grievously rebelled: Abroad the sword
bereaves, at home there is as death. 21 They
have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; All my enemies
have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it: You
will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they shall be like
me. 22 Let
all their wickedness come before you; Do to them, as you have done
to me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart
is faint.
2:1 How
has the Lord covered the daughter of Tziyon with a cloud in his
anger! He has cast down from heaven to the eretz the beauty of
Yisra'el, And hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his
anger. 2
The
Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Ya`akov, and has not
pitied: He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the
daughter of Yehudah; He has brought them down to the ground; he has
profaned the kingdom and the princes of it. 3 He
has cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Yisra'el; He has drawn
back his right hand from before the enemy: He has burned up Ya`akov
like a flaming fire, which devours round about. 4 He
has bent his bow like an enemy, he has stood with his right hand as
an adversary, Has killed all that were pleasant to the eye: In the
tent of the daughter of Tziyon he has poured out his wrath like
fire. 5 The
Lord is become as an enemy, he has swallowed up Yisra'el; He has
swallowed up all her palaces, he has destroyed his strongholds; He
has multiplied in the daughter of Yehudah mourning and
lamentation. 6
He
has violently taken away his tent, as if it were of a garden; he has
destroyed his place of assembly: The LORD has caused solemn assembly
and Shabbat to be forgotten in Tziyon, Has despised in the
indignation of his anger the king and the Kohen. 7
The
Lord has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary; He has
given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: They
have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a
solemn assembly. 8 The
LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Tziyon; He
has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from
destroying; He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they
languish together. 9 Her
gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her
bars: Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law
is not; Yes, her prophets find no vision from the LORD. 10 The
Zakenim of the daughter of Tziyon sit on the ground, they keep
silence; They have cast up dust on their heads; they have girded
themselves with sackcloth: The virgins of Yerushalayim hang down
their heads to the ground. 11 My
eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is poured on
the eretz, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
Because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of
the city. 12 They
tell their mothers, Where is grain and wine? When they swoon as the
wounded in the streets of the city, When their soul is poured out
into their mothers' bosom. 13 What
shall I testify to you? what shall I liken to you, daughter of
Yerushalayim? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you,
virgin daughter of Tziyon? For your breach is great like the sea:
who can heal you? 14
Your
prophets have seen for you false and foolish visions; They have not
uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, But have seen
for you false oracles and causes of banishment. 15 All
that pass by clap their hands at you; They hiss and wag their head
at the daughter of Yerushalayim, [saying], Is this the city that men
called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole eretz? 16 All
your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you; They hiss and
gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up; Certainly this
is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it. 17
The
LORD has done that which he purposed; he has fulfilled his word that
he commanded in the days of old; He has thrown down, and has not
pitied: He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you; he has exalted
the horn of your adversaries. 18 Their
heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Tziyon, let tears
run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don't
let the apple of your eye cease. 19 Arise,
cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your
heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands
toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for
hunger at the head of every street. 20 Look,
LORD, and see to whom you have done thus! Shall the women eat their
fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the Kohen
and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord? 21 The
youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins
and my young men are fallen by the sword: You have killed them in
the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, [and] not
pitied. 22 You
have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every
side; There was none that escaped or remained in the day of the
LORD's anger: Those that I have dandled and brought up has my enemy
consumed.

PHILEMON 1:1 - 25
1:1 Sha'ul,
a prisoner of Messiah Yeshua, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon,
our beloved fellow worker,
2 to
the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the
assembly in your house:
3
Grace
to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the
Messiah.
4 I
thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
5 hearing
of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord
Yeshua, and toward all the holy ones;
6 that
the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge
of every good thing which is in us, in Messiah Yeshua.
7 For
we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the
holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.
8 Therefore,
though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you that which is
appropriate,
9 yet
for love's sake I rather beg, being such a one as Sha'ul, the aged,
and now a prisoner also of Messiah Yeshua.
10 I
beg you for my child, whom I have fathered in my bonds, Onesimus,
11 who
once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me;
12 I
am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own
heart,
13 whom
I wanted to keep with me, that in your behalf he might minister to
me in the bonds of the Good News.
14
But
I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness
would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
15 For
perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you
would have him forever,
16 no
longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother,
specially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and
in the Lord.
17 If
then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18 But
if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my
account.
19 I,
Sha'ul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention
to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
20 Yes,
brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in
the Lord.
21
Having
confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will
do even beyond what I say.
22 Also,
prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I
will be restored to you.
23 Epaphras,
my fellow prisoner in Messiah Yeshua, greets you,
24 as
do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 The
grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit. Amein.
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."
