Psalms
131-134
Psa
131:1 Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I
concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.
Psa
131:2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child
with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Psa
131:3 Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forth and forevermore.
Psa
132:1 Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
Psa
132:2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Psa
132:3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,
nor go up into my bed;
Psa
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
Psa
132:5 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty
One of Jacob."
Psa
132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field
of Jaar:
Psa
132:7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at
his footstool.
Psa
132:8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of
your strength.
Psa
132:9 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints
shout for joy!"
Psa
132:10 For your servant David's sake, don't turn away the face of
your anointed one.
Psa
132:11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it:
"I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
Psa
132:12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I
will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne
forevermore."
Psa
132:13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his
habitation.
Psa
132:14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for
I have desired it.
Psa
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her
poor with bread.
Psa
132:16 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints
will shout aloud for joy.
Psa
132:17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a
lamp for my anointed.
Psa
132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his
crown will be resplendent."
Psa
133:1 See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live
together in unity!
Psa
133:2 It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the
beard, even Aaron's beard; that came down on the edge of his robes;
Psa
133:3 like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion:
for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forevermore.
Psa
134:1 Look! Praise Yahweh, all you servants of Yahweh, who stand by
night in Yahweh's house!
Psa
134:2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!
Psa
134:3 May Yahweh bless you from Zion; even he who made heaven and
earth.

Galatians
1
Gal
1:1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but
through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the
dead),
Gal
1:2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of
Galatia:
Gal
1:3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus
Christ,
Gal
1:4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of
this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father--
Gal
1:5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Gal
1:6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in
the grace of Christ to a different "good news";
Gal
1:7 and there isn't another "good news." Only there are
some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
Gal
1:8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to
you any "good news" other than that which we preached to
you, let him be cursed.
Gal
1:9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches
to you any "good news" other than that which you received,
let him be cursed.
Gal
1:10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I
striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't
be a servant of Christ.
Gal
1:11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News
which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Gal
1:12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but
it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal
1:13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the
Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of
God, and ravaged it.
Gal
1:14 I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of my own age
among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the
traditions of my fathers.
Gal
1:15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from
my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,
Gal
1:16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the
Gentiles, I didn't immediately confer with flesh and blood,
Gal
1:17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before
me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
Gal
1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter,
and stayed with him fifteen days.
Gal
1:19 But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the
Lord's brother.
Gal
1:20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God,
I'm not lying.
Gal
1:21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Gal
1:22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which
were in Christ,
Gal
1:23 but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now
preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
Gal
1:24 And they glorified God in me.
