Psalms
43-45
Psa
43:1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly
nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
Psa
43:2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psa
43:3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let
them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.
Psa
43:4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I
will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
Psa
43:5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within
me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper,
and my God.
Psa
44:1 We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us,
what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
Psa
44:2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them.
You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
Psa
44:3 For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your
arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
Psa
44:4 You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!
Psa
44:5 Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your
name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.
Psa
44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
Psa
44:7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed
those who hate us.
Psa
44:8 In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks
to your name forever. Selah.
Psa
44:9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don't
go out with our armies.
Psa
44:10 You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us
take spoil for themselves.
Psa
44:11 You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us
among the nations.
Psa
44:12 You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from
their sale.
Psa
44:13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a
derision to those who are around us.
Psa
44:14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head
among the peoples.
Psa
44:15 All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my
face,
Psa
44:16 At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses,
because of the enemy and the avenger.
Psa
44:17 All this has come on us, yet have we not forgotten you,
Neither have we been false to your covenant.
Psa
44:18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed
from your path,
Psa
44:19 Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and
covered us with the shadow of death.
Psa
44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our
hands to a strange god;
Psa
44:21 won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the
heart.
Psa
44:22 Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded
as sheep for the slaughter.
Psa
44:23 Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don't reject us
forever.
Psa
44:24 Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our
oppression?
Psa
44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body cleaves to
the earth.
Psa
44:26 Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.
Psa
45:1 My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for
the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
Psa
45:2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has
anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
Psa
45:3 Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and
your majesty.
Psa
45:4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth,
humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome
deeds.
Psa
45:5 Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows
in the heart of the king's enemies.
Psa
45:6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is
the scepter of your kingdom.
Psa
45:7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore
God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your
fellows.
Psa
45:8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of
ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
Psa
45:9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right
hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
Psa
45:10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own
people, and also your father's house.
Psa
45:11 So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your
lord.
Psa
45:12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the
people entreat your favor.
Psa
45:13 The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is
interwoven with gold.
Psa
45:14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins,
her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
Psa
45:15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall
enter into the king's palace.
Psa
45:16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make
them princes in all the earth.
Psa
45:17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

Corinthians 2
1Co 2:1
When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of speech
or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2
For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ,
and him crucified.
1Co 2:3 I
was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4
My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
1Co 2:5
that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power
of God.
1Co 2:6
We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a
wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are
coming to nothing.
1Co 2:7
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been
hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
1Co 2:8
which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known
it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
1Co 2:9
But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an
ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God
has prepared for those who love him."
1Co 2:10
But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit
searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11
For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the
man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except
God's Spirit.
1Co 2:12
But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is
from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us
by God.
1Co 2:13
Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches,
but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with
spiritual things.
1Co 2:14
Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for
they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15
But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged
by no one.
1Co 2:16
"For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct
him?" But we have Christ's mind.
