PSALMS:

1 Judge
me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity.
I
have trusted also in LORD without wavering.
2 Examine
me, LORD, and prove me.
Try
my heart and my mind.
3 For
your loving kindness is before my eyes.
I
have walked in your truth.
4 I
have not sat with deceitful men,
Neither
will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I
hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And
will not sit with the wicked.
6 I
will wash my hands in innocence,
So
I will go about your altar, LORD;
7 That
I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And
tell of all your wondrous works.
8 LORD,
I love the habitation of your house,
The
place where your glory dwells.
9 Don't
gather my soul with sinners,
Nor
my life with bloodthirsty men;
10 In
whose hands is wickedness,
Their
right hand is full of bribes.
11 But
as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem
me, and be merciful to me.
12 My
foot stands in an even place.
In
the congregations will I bless the LORD.
PSALMS:
56
1 Be
merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up.
All
day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2 My
enemies want to swallow me up all day long,
For
they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 When
I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
4 In
God, I praise his word. In God,
I
put my trust. I will not be afraid.
What
can flesh do to me?
5 All
day long they twist my words.
All
their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They
conspire and lurk,
Watching
my steps, they are eager to take my life.
7 Shall
they escape by iniquity? I
n
anger cast down the peoples, God.
8 You
number my wanderings.
You
put my tears into your bottle.
Aren't
they in your book?
9 Then
shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call.
I
know this, that God is for me.
10 In
God, I will praise his word. In the LORD,
I
will praise his word.
11 I
have put my trust in God.
I
will not be afraid.
What
can man do to me?
12 Your
vows are on me, God.
I
will give thank offerings to you.
13 For
you have delivered my soul from death,
And
prevented my feet from falling,
That
I may walk before God in the light of the living.
PSALMS:
86
1 Hear,
LORD, and answer me,
For
I am poor and needy.
2
Preserve
my soul, for I am godly.
You,
my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Be
merciful to me, Lord,
For
I call to you all day long.
4 Bring
joy to the soul of your servant,
For
to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For
you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;
Abundant
in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6 Hear,
LORD, my prayer.
Listen
to the voice of my petitions.
7
In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
For
you will answer me.
8 There
is no one like you among the gods, Lord,
Nor
any deeds like your deeds.
9 All
nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
They
shall glorify your name.
10 For
you are great, and do wondrous things.
You
are God alone.
11 Teach
me your way, LORD.
I
will walk in your truth.
Make
my heart undivided to fear your name.
12 I
will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.
I
will glorify your name forevermore.
13 For
your loving kindness is great toward me.
You
have delivered my soul from the lowest She'ol.
14 God,
the proud have risen up against me.
A
company of violent men have sought after my soul,
And
they don't hold regard for you before them.
15
But
you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
Slow
to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16 Turn
to me, and have mercy on me!
Give
your strength to your servant.
Save
the son of your handmaid.
17
Show me a sign of your goodness,
That
those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,
Because
you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
PSALMS:
116
1 I
love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,
And
my cries for mercy.
2 Because
he has turned his ear to me,
Therefore
I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The
cords of death surrounded me,
The
pains of She'ol got a hold on me.
I
found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then
called I on the name of the LORD:
"The
LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul."
5 Gracious
is the LORD, and righteous;
Yes,
our God is merciful.
6 The
LORD preserves the simple.
I
was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Return
to your rest, my soul,
For
the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For
you have delivered my soul from death,
My
eyes from tears,
And
my feet from falling.
9 I
will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I
believed, therefore I said,
"I
was greatly afflicted."
11 I
said in my haste,
"All
men are liars."
12 What
will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I
will take the cup of salvation,
and
call on the name of the LORD.
14 I
will pay my vows to the LORD,
Yes,
in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious
in the sight of the LORD is the death of his holy ones.
16 LORD,
truly I am your servant.
I
am your servant, the son of your handmaid.
You
have freed me from my chains.
17 I
will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And
will call on the name of the LORD.
18 I
will pay my vows to the LORD,
Yes,
in the presence of all his people,
19 In
the courts of the LORD's house,
In
the midst of you, Yerushalayim.
Praise
the LORD!
PSALMS:
146
1 Praise
the LORD!
Praise
the LORD, my soul.
2 While
I live, I will praise the LORD.
I
will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3
Don't
put your trust in princes,
Each
a son of man in whom there is no help.
4 His
spirit departs, and he returns to the eretz.
In
that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 Happy
is he who has the God of Ya`akov for his help,
Whose
hope is in the LORD, his God:
6 Who
made heaven and eretz,
The
sea, and all that is in them;
Who
keeps truth forever;
7 Who
executes justice for the oppressed;
Who
gives food to the hungry.
The
LORD frees the prisoners.
8 The
LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The
LORD raises up those who are bowed down.
The
LORD loves the righteous.
9 The
LORD preserves the sojourners.
He
upholds the fatherless and widow,
But
the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 The
LORD will reign forever;
Your
God, O Tziyon, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
PROVERBS:

1 Like
snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,
So
honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like
a fluttering sparrow,
Like
a darting swallow,
So
the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.
3 A
whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
And
a rod for the back of fools!
4
Don't
answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest
you also be like him.
5 Answer
a fool according to his folly,
Lest
he be wise in his own eyes.
6 One
who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Is
cutting off feet and drinking violence.
7 Like
the legs of the lame that hang loose:
So
is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As
one who binds a stone in a sling,
So
is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like
a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard,
So
is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 As
an archer who wounds all,
So
is he who hires a fool
Or
he who hires those who pass by.
11 As
a dog that returns to his vomit,
So
is a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Do
you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There
is more hope for a fool than for him.
13
The
sluggard says,
"There
is a lion in the road!
A
fierce lion roams the streets!"
14 As
the door turns on its hinges,
So
does the sluggard on his bed.
15 The
sluggard buries his hand in the dish.
He
is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The
sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
Than
seven men who answer with discretion.
17 Like
one who seizes a dog's ears
Is
one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18 Like
a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 Is
the man who deceives his neighbor and says,
"Am
I not joking?"
20 For
lack of wood the fire goes out;
Where
there is no gossip, a quarrel dies down.
21 As
coals are to hot embers, And wood to fire,
So
is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The
words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
They
go down into the innermost parts.
23 Like
silver dross on an earthen vessel
Are
the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
24 A
malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
But
he harbors evil in his heart.
25
When
his speech is charming, don't believe him;
For
there are seven abominations in his heart:
26 His
malice may be concealed by deception,
But
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27
Whoever
digs a pit shall fall into it. ‘
Whoever
rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28 A
lying tongue hates those it hurts;
And
a flattering mouth works ruin.
OLD
TESTAMENT:
ISAIAH 19:1 – 21:17
19:1 The
burden of Mitzrayim. Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, and
comes to Mitzrayim: and the idols of Mitzrayim shall tremble at his
presence; and the heart of Mitzrayim shall melt in the midst of
it. 2
I
will stir up the Mitzrim against the Mitzrim: and they shall fight
everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor;
city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom. 3 The
spirit of Mitzrayim shall fail in the midst of it; and I will
destroy the counsel of it: and they shall seek to the idols, and to
the charmers, and to those who have familiar spirits, and to the
wizards. 4 I
will give over the Mitzrim into the hand of a cruel lord; and a
fierce king shall rule over them, says the Lord, the LORD of
Hosts. 5 The
waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and
become dry. 6 The
rivers shall become foul; the streams of Mitzrayim shall be
diminished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither
away. 7 The
meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown
fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no
more. 8 The
fishermen shall lament, and all those who cast angle into the Nile
shall mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters shall
languish. 9 Moreover
those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth,
shall be confounded. 10 The
pillars [of Mitzrayim] shall be broken in pieces; all those who work
for hire [shall be] grieved in soul. 11 The
princes of Tzo`an are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest
counselors of Par`oh is become brutish: how do you say to Par`oh, I
am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? 12 Where
then are your wise men? and let them tell you now; and let them know
what the LORD of Hosts has purposed concerning Mitzrayim. 13 The
princes of Tzo`an are become fools, the princes of Mof are deceived;
they have caused Mitzrayim to go astray, who are the corner-stone of
her tribes. 14 The
LORD has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and
they have caused Mitzrayim to go astray in every work of it, as a
drunken man staggers in his vomit. 15 Neither
shall there be for Mitzrayim any work, which head or tail,
palm-branch or rush, may do. 16 In
that day shall the Mitzrim be like women; and they shall tremble and
fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of Hosts, which
he shakes over them.17 The
land of Yehudah shall become a terror to Mitzrayim; everyone to whom
mention is made of it shall be afraid, because of the purpose of the
LORD of Hosts, which he purposes against it. 18 In
that day there shall be five cities in the land of Mitzrayim that
speak the language of Kana`an, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one
shall be called The city of destruction. 19 In
that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the
land of Mitzrayim, and a pillar at the border of it to the
LORD. 20 It
shall be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the
land of Mitzrayim; for they shall cry to the LORD because of
oppressors, and he will send them a savior, and a defender, and he
will deliver them. 21
The
LORD shall be known to Mitzrayim, and the Mitzrim shall know the
LORD in that day; yes, they shall worship with sacrifice and
offering, and shall vow a vow to the LORD, and shall perform
it. 22 The
LORD will strike Mitzrayim, smiting and healing; and they shall
return to the LORD, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal
them. 23 In
that day shall there be a highway out of Mitzrayim to Ashshur, and
the Ashshur shall come into Mitzrayim, and the Mitzrian into
Ashshur; and the Mitzrim shall worship with the Ashshur. 24 In
that day shall Yisra'el be the third with Mitzrayim and with
Ashshur, a blessing in the midst of the eretz; 25 because
the LORD of Hosts has blessed them, saying, Blessed be Mitzrayim my
people, and Ashshur the work of my hands, and Yisra'el my
inheritance.
20:1 In
the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Ashshur
sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it; 2 at
that time the LORD spoke by Yesha`yahu the son of Amotz, saying, Go,
and loose the sackcloth from off your loins, and put your shoe from
off your foot. He did so, walking naked and barefoot. 3 The
LORD said, Like as my servant Yesha`yahu has walked naked and
barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Mitzrayim
and concerning Kush; 4 so
shall the king of Ashshur lead away the captives of Mitzrayim, and
the exiles of Kush, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with
buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Mitzrayim. 5 They
shall be dismayed and confounded, because of Kush their expectation,
and of Mitzrayim their glory. 6 The
inhabitant of this coast-land shall say in that day, Behold, such is
our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the
king of Ashshur: and we, how shall we escape?
21:1 The
burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South
sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from an awesome
land. 2 A
grievous vision is declared to me; the treacherous man deals
treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, `Elam; besiege,
Madai; all the sighing of it have I made to cease. 3 Therefore
are my loins filled with anguish; pangs have taken hold on me, as
the pangs of a woman in travail: I am pained so that I can't hear; I
am dismayed so that I can't see. 4 My
heart flutters, horror has frightened me; the twilight that I
desired has been turned into trembling to me. 5 They
prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink: rise
up, you princes, anoint the shield. 6 For
thus has the Lord said to me, Go, set a watchman: let him declare
what he sees: 7 and
when he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop
of camels, he shall listen diligently with much heed. 8 He
cried as a lion: Lord, I stand continually on the watch-tower in the
day-time, and am set in my ward whole nights; 9 and,
behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. He answered,
Fallen, fallen is Bavel; and all the engraved images of her gods are
broken to the ground. 10
You
my threshing, and the grain of my floor! that which I have heard
from the LORD of hosts, the God of Yisra'el, have I declared to
you. 11 The
burden of Dumah. One calls to me out of Se`ir, Watchman, what of the
night? Watchman, what of the night? 12
The
watchman said, "The morning comes, and also the night. If you
will inquire, inquire. Come back again." 13 The
burden on `Arav. In the forest in `Arav shall you lodge, you
caravans of Dedanim. 14 To
him who was thirsty they brought water; the inhabitants of the land
of Tema did meet the fugitives with their bread. 15 For
they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the
bent bow, and from the heat of battle. 16 For
thus has the Lord said to me, Within a year, according to the years
of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail; 17 and
the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the
children of Kedar, shall be few; for the LORD, the God of Yisra'el,
has spoken it.
NEW
TESTAMENT:
GALATIANS 2:1 - 16
2:1 Then
after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Yerushalayim
with Bar-Nabba, taking Titus also with me.
2 I
went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I
preach among the Goyim, but privately before those who were
respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
3 But
not even Titus, who was with me, being a Yevanit, was compelled to
be circumcised.
4 This
was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in
to spy out our liberty which we have in Messiah Yeshua, that they
might bring us into bondage;
5 to
whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour,
that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
6 But
from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it
makes no difference to me; God doesn't show partiality to man) --
they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
7 but
to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the
Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Kefa with the Good News
for the circumcision
8 (for
he who appointed Kefa to the apostleship of the circumcision
appointed me also to the Goyim);
9 and
when they perceived the grace that was given to me, Ya`akov and Kefa
and Yochanan, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and
Bar-Nabba the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the
Goyim, and they to the circumcision.
10 They
only asked us to remember the poor -- which very thing I was also
zealous to do.
11 But
when Kefa came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he
stood condemned.
12 For
before some people came from Ya`akov, he ate with the Goyim. But
when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those
who were of the circumcision.
13 And
the rest of the Yehudim joined him in his hypocrisy; so much that
even Bar-Nabba was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 But
when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of
the Good News, I said to Kefa before them all, "If you, being a
Yehudi, live as the Goyim do, and not as the Yehudim do, why do you
compel the Goyim to live as the Yehudim do?
15 "We,
being Yehudim by nature, and not Goy sinners,
16 yet
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but
through the faith of Yeshua the Messiah, even we believed in Messiah
Yeshua, that we might be justified by faith in Messiah, and not by
the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works
of the law.
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." H
