PSALMS: 6
1 For the leader.
With stringed instruments.
On sh'minit [low-pitched musical instruments?].
A psalm of David:
ADONAI, don't rebuke me in your anger,
don't discipline me in the heat of your fury.
2 Be gracious to me, ADONAI,
because I am withering away;
heal me, ADONAI, because my bones are shaking;
3 I am completely terrified;
and you, ADONAI - how long?
4 Come back, ADONAI, and rescue me!
Save me for the sake of your grace;
5 for in death, no one remembers you;
in Sh'ol, who will praise you?
6 I am worn out with groaning;
all night I drench my bed with tears,
flooding my couch till it swims.
7 My vision is darkened with anger;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 Get away from me, all you workers of evil!
For ADONAI has heard the sound of my weeping,
9 ADONAI has heard my pleading,
ADONAI will accept my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be confounded, completely terrified;
they will turn back and be suddenly put to shame.
PSALMS: 36
1 For the leader.
By David, the servant of ADONAI:
Crime speaks to the wicked.
I perceive this in my heart;
before his eyes there is no fear of God.
2 For, the way he sees it, crime makes his life easy that is,
until his wrongs are discovered;
then, he is hated.
3 His words are wrong and deceitful;
he has stopped being wise and doing good.
4 He devises trouble as he lies in bed;
so set is he on his own bad way that he doesn't hate evil.
5 ADONAI, in the heavens is your grace;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments are like the great deep.
You save man and beast, ADONAI.
7 How precious, God, is your grace!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings,
8 they feast on the rich bounty of your house,
and you have them drink from the stream of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
10 Continue your grace to those who know you
and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Don't let the foot of the proud tread on me
or the hands of the wicked drive me away.
12 There they lie fallen, those evildoers,
flung down and unable to rise.
PSALMS: 66
1 For the leader.
A song.
A psalm:
Shout to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of his name,
make his praise glorious.
3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!
At your great power, your enemies cringe.
4 All the earth bows down to you, sings praises to you,
sings praises to your name."
(Selah)
5 Come and see what God has done,
his awesome dealings with humankind.
6 He turned the sea into dry land.
They passed through the river on foot;
there we rejoiced in him.
7 With his power he rules forever;
his eyes keep watch on the nations.
Let no rebel arise to challenge him.
8 Bless our God, you peoples!
Let the sound of his praise be heard!
9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from stumbling.
(Selah)
10 For you, God, have tested us,
refined us as silver is refined.
11 You brought us into the net
and bound our bodies fast.
12 You made men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water.
But you brought us out to a place of plenty.
13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings,
I will fulfill my vows to you,
14 those my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke
when I was in distress.
15 I will offer you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
along with the sweet smoke of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah)
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth,
his praise was on my tongue.
18 Had I cherished evil thoughts,
Adonai would not have listened.
19 But in fact, God did listen;
he paid attention to my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer
or turn his grace away from me.
PSALMS: 96
1 Sing to ADONAI a new song!
Sing to ADONAI, all the earth!
2 Sing to ADONAI, bless his name!
Proclaim his victory day after day!
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his wonders among all peoples!
4 For ADONAI is great, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared more than all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but ADONAI made the heavens.
6 In his presence are honor and majesty;
in his sanctuary, strength and splendor.
7 Give ADONAI his due, you families from the peoples;
give ADONAI his due of glory and strength;
8 give ADONAI the glory due to his name;
bring an offering, and enter his courtyards.
9 Worship ADONAI in holy splendor;
tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, "ADONAI is king!
"The world is firmly established, immovable.
He will judge the peoples fairly.
11 Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad;
let the sea roar, and everything in it;
12 let the fields exult and all that is in them.
Then all the trees in the forest will sing
13 before ADONAI, because he has come, he has come to judge the earth;
he will judge the world rightly and the peoples with his faithfulness.
PSALMS: 126
1 When the LORD brought back those who returned to Tziyon,
We were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then said they among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
3 The LORD has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD,
Like the streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,
Will assuredly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
PROVERBS: 6
1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor,
If you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;
2 You are trapped by the words of your mouth.
You are ensnared with the words of your mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself,
Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor.
Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
4 Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
Like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard.
Consider her ways, and be wise;
7 Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,
8 Provides her bread in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long will you sleep, sluggard?
When will you arise out of your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So your poverty will come as a robber,
And your scarcity as an armed man.
12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity,
Is he who walks with a perverse mouth;
13 Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,
Who motions with his fingers;
14 In whose heart is perverseness,
Who devises evil continually,
Who always sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly.
He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.
16 There are six things which the LORD hates;
Yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood;
18 A heart that devises wicked schemes,
Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness who utters lies,
And he who sows discord among brothers.
20 My son, keep your father's mitzvah,
And don't forsake your mother's teaching.
21 Bind them continually on your heart.
Tie them around your neck.
22 When you walk, it will lead you.
When you sleep, it will watch over you.
When you awake, it will talk with you.
23 For the mitzvah is a lamp,
And the law is light.
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
24 To keep you from the immoral woman,
From the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
25 Don't lust after her beauty in your heart,
Neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread.
The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap,
And his clothes not be burned?
28 Or can one walk on hot coals,
And his feet not be scorched?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife.
Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
30 Men don't despise a thief,
If he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:
31 But if he be found, he shall restore seven times.
He shall give all the wealth of his house.
32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding.
He who does it destroys his own soul.
33 He will get wounds and dishonor.
His reproach will not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband.
He won't spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He won't regard any ransom,
Neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
OLD TESTAMENT: EXODUS 2:11 - 3:22
2:11 It happened in those days, when Moshe had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw a Mitzrian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers. 12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Mitzrian, and hid him in the sand.13 He went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?" 14 He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Mitzrian?" Moshe was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is known." 15 Now when Par`oh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moshe. But Moshe fled from the face of Par`oh, and lived in the land of Midyan, and he sat down by a well. 16 Now the Kohen of Midyan had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moshe stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 18 When they came to Re`u'el, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?" 19 They said, "A Mitzrian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock." 20 He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread." 21 Moshe was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moshe Tzipporah, his daughter. 22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."23 It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Mitzrayim died, and the children of Yisra'el sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. 24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Avraham, with Yitzchak, and with Ya`akov. 25 God saw the children of Yisra'el, and God was concerned about them.
3:1 Now Moshe was keeping the flock of Yitro, his father-in-law, the Kohen of Midyan, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God's mountain, to Horev. 2 The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 Moshe said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moshe! Moshe!" He said, "Here I am." 5 He said, "Don't come close. Take off your sandals from off your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground." 6 Moreover he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchak, and the God of Ya`akov." Moshe hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God. 7 The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Mitzrayim, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Mitzrim, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Kana`ani, the Hittite, the Amori, the Perizzi, the Hivvi, and the Yevusi. 9 Now, behold, the cry of the children of Yisra'el has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Mitzrim oppress them.10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Par`oh, that you may bring forth my people, the children of Yisra'el, out of Mitzrayim." 11 Moshe said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Par`oh, and that I should bring forth the children of Yisra'el out of Mitzrayim?" 12 He said, "Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Mitzrayim, you shall serve God on this mountain." 13 Moshe said to God, "Behold, when I come to the children of Yisra'el, and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you;' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What should I tell them?"14 God said to Moshe, "I AM WHO I AM," and he said, "You shall tell the children of Yisra'el this: "I AM has sent me to you." 15 God said moreover to Moshe, "You shall tell the children of Yisra'el this, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchak, and the God of Ya`akov, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations. 16 Go, and gather the Zakenim of Yisra'el together, and tell them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, of Yitzchak, and of Ya`akov, has appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Mitzrayim; 17 and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Mitzrayim to the land of the Kana`ani, the Hittite, the Amori, the Perizzi, the Hivvi, and the Yevusi, to a land flowing with milk and honey."' 18 They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the Zakenim of Yisra'el, to the king of Mitzrayim, and you shall tell him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD, our God.' 19 I know that the king of Mitzrayim won't give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand. 20 I will put forth my hand and strike Mitzrayim with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of it, and after that he will let you go. 21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Mitzrim, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed. 22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall despoil the Mitzrim.
NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 17:10 - 27
17:10 His talmidim asked him, saying, "Then why do the Sofrim say that Eliyah must come first?
11 Yeshua answered them, "Eliyah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,
12 but I tell you that Eliyah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so will the Son of Man also suffer by them."
13 Then the talmidim understood that he spoke to them of Yochanan the immerser.
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling to him, saying,
15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 So I brought him to your talmidim, and they could not cure him."
17 Yeshua answered, "Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
18 Yeshua rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
19 Then the talmidim came to Yeshua privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
20 He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For most assuredly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
21 But this kind doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting."
22 While they were staying in the Galil, Yeshua said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
24 When they had come to Kafar-Nachum, those who collected the didrachmas came to Kefa, and said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the didrachma?"
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Yeshua anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Shim`on? From whom do the kings of the eretz receive toll or tribute? From their sons, or from strangers?"
26 Kefa said to him, "From strangers." Yeshua said to him, "Therefore the sons are exempt.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened his mouth, you will find a stater. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
