Psalm 11-15

Psa 11:1 In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"

Psa 11:2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Psa 11:3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Psa 11:4 Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

Psa 11:5 Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.

Psa 11:6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

Psa 11:7 For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.

Psa 12:1 Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

Psa 12:2 Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

Psa 12:3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

Psa 12:4 who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"

Psa 12:5 "Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him."

Psa 12:6 The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

Psa 12:7 You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.

Psa 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.

Psa 13:1 How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Psa 13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Psa 13:3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Psa 13:4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;" Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

Psa 13:5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

Psa 13:6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.

Psa 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.

Psa 14:2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who did understand, who did seek after God.

Psa 14:3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Psa 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don't call on Yahweh?

Psa 14:5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Psa 14:6 You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge.

Psa 14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psa 15:1 Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

Psa 15:2 He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

Psa 15:3 He who doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

Psa 15:4 In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;

Psa 15:5 he who doesn't lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Romans 9

Rom 9:1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,

Rom 9:2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

Rom 9:3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my relatives according to the flesh,

Rom 9:4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;

Rom 9:5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.

Rom 9:7 Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called."

Rom 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

Rom 9:9 For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.

Rom 9:10 Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.

Rom 9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,

Rom 9:12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."

Rom 9:13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!

Rom 9:15 For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

Rom 9:16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

Rom 9:18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

Rom 9:19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"

Rom 9:20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

Rom 9:21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,

Rom 9:23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

Rom 9:24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

Rom 9:25 As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them 'my people,' which were not my people; and her 'beloved,' who was not beloved."

Rom 9:26 "It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.' "

Rom 9:27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;

Rom 9:28 for He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."

Rom 9:29 As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."

Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

Rom 9:31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.

Rom 9:32 Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

Rom 9:33 even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed."
