PSALMS:

1 Why
do you stand far off, LORD?
Why
do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 In
arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak;
They
are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3 For
the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings,
He
blesses the greedy, and condemns the LORD.
4 The
wicked, in the pride of his face,
Has
no room in his thoughts for God.
5 His
ways are prosperous at all times;
He
is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight:
As
for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
6 He
says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken;
For
generations I shall have no trouble."
7
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.
Under
his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 He
lies in wait near the villages.
From
ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His
eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9 He
lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush.
He
lies in wait to catch the helpless.
He
catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
10 The
helpless are crushed, they collapse,
They
fall under his strength.
11 He
says in his heart, "God has forgotten.
He
hides his face. He will never see it."
12 Arise,
LORD! God, lift up your hand!
Don't
forget the helpless.
13 Why
does the wicked condemn God,
And
say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"
14 But
you do see trouble and grief;
You
consider it to take it into your hand.
You
help the victim and the fatherless.
15 Break
the arm of the wicked.
As
for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16
The
LORD is King forever and ever!
The
nations will perish out of his land.
17 LORD,
you have heard the desire of the humble.
You
will prepare their heart.
You
will cause your ear to hear,
18 To
judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
That
man who is of the eretz may terrify no more.
PSALMS:

1 I
waited patiently for the LORD.
He
turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 He
brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay.
He
set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
3
He
has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many
shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed
is the man who makes the LORD his trust,
And
doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many,
LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,
And
your thoughts which are toward us.
They
can't be set in order to you;
If
I would declare and speak of them,
they
are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice
and offering you didn't desire.
My
ears have you opened:
Burnt
offering and sin offering have you not required.
7 Then
I said, "Behold, I have come.
It
is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8 I
delight to do your will, my God.
Yes,
your law is within my heart."
9 I
have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.
Behold,
I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.
10 I
have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.
I
have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.
I
have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the
great assembly.
11 Don't
withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD.
Let
your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 For
innumerable evils have surrounded me.
My
iniquities have overtaken me,
so
that I am not able to look up.
They
are more than the hairs of my head.
My
heart has failed me.
13 Be
pleased, LORD, to deliver me.
Hurry
to help me, LORD.
14 Let
them be put to shame and confounded together
who
seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let
them be turned backward and
brought
to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
15 Let
them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha!
Aha!"
16 Let
all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let
such as love your salvation say continually,
"Let
the LORD be exalted!"
17 But
I am poor and needy;
May
the Lord think about me.
You
are my help and my deliverer.
Don't
delay, my God.
PSALMS:

1 Hurry,
God, to deliver me.
Come
quickly to help me, LORD.
2 Let
them be put to shame and confounded who seek my soul.
Let
those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
3 Let
them be turned because of their shame
Who
say, "Aha! Aha!"
4 Let
all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let
those who love your yeshu`ah continually say,
"Let
God be exalted!"
5 But
I am poor and needy.
Come
to me quickly, God.
You
are my help and my deliverer,
LORD,
don't delay.
PSALMS:

1 Make
a joyful noise to the LORD, all you lands!
2 Serve
the LORD with gladness.
Come
before his presence with singing.
3
Know
that the LORD, he is God.
It
is he who has made us, and we are his.
We
are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter
into his gates with thanksgiving,
Into
his courts with praise.
Give
thanks to him, and bless his name.
5 For
the LORD is good.
His
loving kindness endures forever,
His
faithfulness to all generations.

1 Out
of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
2 Lord,
hear my voice.
Let
your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3 If
you, the LORD, kept a record of sins,
Lord,
who could stand?
4 But
there is forgiveness with you,
Therefore
you are feared.
5 I
wait for the LORD.
My
soul waits.
I
hope in his word.
6 My
soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning;
More
than watchmen for the morning.
7 Yisra'el,
hope in the LORD,
For
with the LORD there is loving kindness.
With
him is abundant redemption.
8 He
will redeem Yisra'el from all their sins.
PROVERBS:

1 The
proverbs of Shlomo.
A
wise son makes a glad father;
But
a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
2 Treasures
of wickedness profit nothing,
But
righteousness delivers from death.
3 The
LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,
But
he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
4 He
becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
But
the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
5 He
who gathers in summer is a wise son,
But
he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
6 Blessings
are on the head of the righteous,
But
violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
7 The
memory of the righteous is blessed,
But
the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The
wise in heart accept mitzvot,
But
a chattering fool will fall.
9 He
who walks blamelessly walks surely,
But
he who perverts his ways will be found out.
10 One
winking with the eye causes sorrow,
But
a chattering fool will fall.
11 The
mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,
But
violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
12Hatred
stirs up strife,
But
love covers all wrongs.
13 Wisdom
is found on the lips of him who has discernment,
But
a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
14 Wise
men lay up knowledge,
But
the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
15 The
rich man's wealth is his strong city.
The
destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The
labor of the righteous leads to life.
The
increase of the wicked leads to sin.
17
He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
But
he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
18 He
who hides hatred has lying lips.
He
who utters a slander is a fool.
19
In
the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
But
he who restrains his lips does wisely.
20 The
tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The
heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The
lips of the righteous feed many,
But
the foolish die for lack of understanding.
22 The
blessing of the LORD brings wealth,
And
he adds no trouble to it.
23 It
is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness,
But
wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure.
24 What
the wicked fear, will overtake them,
But
the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25
When
the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;
But
the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26 As
vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
So
is the sluggard to those who send him.
27
The
fear of the LORD prolongs days,
But
the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 The
prospect of the righteous is joy,
But
the hope of the wicked will perish.
29 The
way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
But
it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
30 The
righteous will never be removed,
But
the wicked will not dwell in the land.
31 The
mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
But
the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32 The
lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
But
the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
OLD
TESTAMENT:
DANIEL 7:1 - 28
7:1 In
the first year of Belshatztzar king of Bavel Daniyel had a dream and
visions of his head on his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the
sum of the matters.
2 Daniyel
spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four
winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea.
3 Four
great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 The
first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I saw until the wings
of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the eretz, and made to
stand on two feet as a man; and a man's heart was given to it.
5 Behold,
another animal, a second, like a bear; and it was raised up on one
side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they
said thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 After
this I saw, and, behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its
back four wings of a bird; the animal had also four heads; and
dominion was given to it.
7 After
this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth animal,
awesome and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron
teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with
its feet: and it was diverse from all the animals that were before
it; and it had ten horns.
8 I
considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another
horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were
plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like
the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 I
saw until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat:
his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure
wool; his throne was fiery flames, [and] the wheels of it burning
fire.
10 A
fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of
thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11 I
saw at that time because of the voice of the great words which the
horn spoke; I saw even until the animal was slain, and its body
destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
12 As
for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away: yet
their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 I
saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of
the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of
days, and they brought him near before him.
14 There
was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the
peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom
that which shall not be destroyed.
15 As
for me, Daniyel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and
the visions of my head troubled me.
16 I
came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth
concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the
interpretation of the things.
17 These
great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out
of the eretz.
18 But
the holy ones of Ha`Elyon shall receive the kingdom, and possess the
kingdom forever, even forever and ever.
19 Then
I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was
diverse from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of
iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and
stamped the residue with its feet;
20 and
concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other [horn]
which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had
eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout
than its fellows.
21 I
saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailed
against them;
22 until
the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the holy ones of
Ha`Elyon, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the
kingdom.
23 Thus
he said, The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on eretz, which
shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole
eretz, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 As
for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and
another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the
former, and he shall put down three kings.
25 He
shall speak words against Ha`Elyon, and shall wear out the holy ones
of Ha`Elyon; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a
time.
26 But
the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it to the end.
27 The
kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under
the whole the sky, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of
Ha`Elyon: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions
shall serve and obey him.
28 Here
is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniyel, my thoughts much
troubled me, and my face was changed in me: but I kept the matter in
my heart.
NEW
TESTAMENT:
2 PETER 3:1 - 18
3:1 This
is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and
in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
2
that
you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy
prophets, and the mitzvot of us, the apostles of the Lord and
Savior:
3 knowing
this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after
their own lusts,
4 and
saying, "Where is the promise of his coming?" For, from
the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they
were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For
this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and
an eretz formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
6 by
which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water,
perished.
7 But
the heavens that now are, and the eretz, by the same word have been
stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and
destruction of ungodly men.
8 But
don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord
as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The
Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but
is longsuffering towards us, not wishing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
10 But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the
heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be
dissolved with fervent heat, and the eretz and the works that are in
it will be burned up.
11 Therefore
since all these things are thus to be destroyed, what manner of
persons ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
12 looking
for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason
of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the
elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 But,
according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new eretz,
in which dwells righteousness.
14
Therefore,
beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be
found in shalom, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
15 Regard
the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother
Sha'ul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;
16 as
also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In
those are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and
unsettled twist, as they do also to the other Scriptures, to their
own destruction.
17 You
therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware lest,
being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your
own steadfastness.
18 But
grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua the
Messiah. To him be the glory both now and forever. 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."
