Psalms
138-140
Psa
138:1 I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I
will sing praises to you.
Psa
138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to
your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have
exalted your Name and your Word above all.
Psa
138:3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me
with strength in my soul.
Psa
138:4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for
they have heard the words of your mouth.
Psa
138:5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; for great is
Yahweh's glory.
Psa
138:6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but
the proud, he knows from afar.
Psa
138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You
will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your
right hand will save me.
Psa
138:8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving
kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your
own hands.
Psa
139:1 Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.
Psa
139:2 You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my
thoughts from afar.
Psa
139:3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted
with all my ways.
Psa
139:4 For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you
know it altogether.
Psa
139:5 You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.
Psa
139:6 This knowledge is beyond me. It's lofty. I can't attain it.
Psa
139:7 Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from
your presence?
Psa
139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in
Sheol, behold, you are there!
Psa
139:9 If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost
parts of the sea;
Psa
139:10 Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will
hold me.
Psa
139:11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the
light around me will be night;"
Psa
139:12 even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines
as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
Psa
139:13 For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my
mother's womb.
Psa
139:14 I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
Psa
139:15 My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret,
woven together in the depths of the earth.
Psa
139:16 Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written,
the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of
them.
Psa
139:17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the
sum of them!
Psa
139:18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.
When I wake up, I am still with you.
Psa
139:19 If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me,
you bloodthirsty men!
Psa
139:20 For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your
name in vain.
Psa
139:21 Yahweh, don't I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved
with those who rise up against you?
Psa
139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
Psa
139:23 Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my
thoughts.
Psa
139:24 See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the
everlasting way.
Psa
140:1 Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the
violent man;
Psa
140:2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually
gather themselves together for war.
Psa
140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's
poison is under their lips. Selah.
Psa
140:4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from
the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
Psa
140:5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the
cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.
Psa
140:6 I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the
cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
Psa
140:7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have
covered my head in the day of battle.
Psa
140:8 Yahweh, don't grant the desires of the wicked. Don't let their
evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.
Psa
140:9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of
their own lips cover them.
Psa
140:10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the
fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
Psa
140:11 An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will
hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Psa
140:12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and justice for the needy.
Psa
140:13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The
upright will dwell in your presence.

Galatians
3
Gal 3:1
Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth,
before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as
crucified?
Gal 3:2 I
just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the
works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Gal 3:3
Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed
in the flesh?
Gal 3:4
Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
Gal 3:5
He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among
you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Gal 3:6
Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him for
righteousness."
Gal 3:7
Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of
Abraham.
Gal 3:8
The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by
faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In
you all the nations will be blessed."
Gal 3:9
So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful
Abraham.
Gal 3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it
is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all
things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."
Gal 3:11
Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for,
"The righteous will live by faith."
Gal 3:12
The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them will live
by them."
Gal 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse
for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a
tree,"
Gal 3:14
that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through
Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through
faith.
Gal 3:15
Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man's
covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or
adds to it.
Gal 3:16
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't
say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your
seed," which is Christ.
Gal 3:17
Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the
law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so
as to make the promise of no effect.
Gal 3:18
For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but
God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
Gal 3:19
What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until
the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was
ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Gal 3:20
Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
Gal 3:21
Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if
there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly
righteousness would have been of the law.
Gal 3:22
But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise
by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Gal 3:23
But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law,
confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24
So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we
might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Gal 3:26
For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man,
there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ
Jesus.
Gal 3:29
If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according
to promise.
