sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
Psa
95:8 Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah
in the wilderness,
Psa
95:9 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
Psa
95:10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said,
"It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my
ways."

rest."

truth.

seen his glory.

their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

because of your judgments, Yahweh.

exalted far above all gods.

saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

in heart.

holy Name.

Psa
98:1 Sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things!

Psa
98:2 Yahweh has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his

call on his name; they called on Yahweh, and he answered them.
Psa
99:7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his

them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

Psalms
101-104
Psa
101:1 I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I
will sing praises.
Psa
101:2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come
to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
Psa
101:3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of
faithless men. They will not cling to me.
Psa
101:4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to
do with evil.
Psa
101:5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't
tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
Psa
101:6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may
dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
Psa
101:7 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who
speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.
Psa
101:8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land;
to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh's city.
Psa
102:1 Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.
Psa
102:2 Don't hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn
your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
Psa
102:3 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a
firebrand.
Psa
102:4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to
eat my bread.
Psa
102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my
skin.
Psa
102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl
of the waste places.
Psa
102:7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the
housetop.
Psa
102:8 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my
name as a curse.
Psa
102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with
tears,
Psa
102:10 Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have
taken me up, and thrown me away.
Psa
102:11 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
Psa
102:12 But you, Yahweh, will abide forever; your renown endures to
all generations.
Psa
102:13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have
pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
Psa
102:14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity
on her dust.
Psa
102:15 So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; all the kings of
the earth your glory.
Psa
102:16 For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
Psa
102:17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not
despised their prayer.
Psa
102:18 This will be written for the generation to come. A people
which will be created will praise Yah.
Psa
102:19 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From
heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;
Psa
102:20 to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are
condemned to death;
Psa
102:21 that men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, and his
praise in Jerusalem;
Psa
102:22 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to
serve Yahweh.
Psa
102:23 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my
days.
Psa
102:24 I said, "My God, don't take me away in the midst of my
days. Your years are throughout all generations.
Psa
102:25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are
the work of your hands.
Psa
102:26 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will
wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they
will be changed.
Psa
102:27 But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
Psa
102:28 The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will
be established before you."
Psa
103:1 Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy
name!
Psa
103:2 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits;
Psa
103:3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
Psa
103:4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with
loving kindness and tender mercies;
Psa
103:5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth
is renewed like the eagle's.
Psa
103:6 Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are
oppressed.
Psa
103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of
Israel.
Psa
103:8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant
in loving kindness.
Psa
103:9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
Psa
103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us
for our iniquities.
Psa
103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his
loving kindness toward those who fear him.
Psa
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed
our transgressions from us.
Psa
103:13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has
compassion on those who fear him.
Psa
103:14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
Psa
103:15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the
field, so he flourishes.
Psa
103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place
remembers it no more.
Psa
103:17 But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to
everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's
children;
Psa
103:18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey
his precepts.
Psa
103:19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom
rules over all.
Psa
103:20 Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength,
who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Psa
103:21 Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his,
who do his pleasure.
Psa
103:22 Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his
dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
Psa
104:1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You
are clothed with honor and majesty.
Psa
104:2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches
out the heavens like a curtain.
Psa
104:3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the
clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
Psa
104:4 He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire.
Psa
104:5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
moved forever.
Psa
104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood
above the mountains.
Psa
104:7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they
hurried away.
Psa
104:8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which
you had assigned to them.
Psa
104:9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they
don't turn again to cover the earth.
Psa
104:10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the
mountains.
Psa
104:11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild
donkeys quench their thirst.
Psa
104:12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the
branches.
Psa
104:13 He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is
filled with the fruit of your works.
Psa
104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for
man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:
Psa
104:15 wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face
to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
Psa
104:16 Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which
he has planted;
Psa
104:17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in
the fir trees.
Psa
104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a
refuge for the rock badgers.
Psa
104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
Psa
104:20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals
of the forest prowl.
Psa
104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food
from God.
Psa
104:22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their
dens.
Psa
104:23 Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.
Psa
104:24 Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them
all. The earth is full of your riches.
Psa
104:25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable
living things, both small and large animals.
Psa
104:26 There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play
there.
Psa
104:27 These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in
due season.
Psa
104:28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are
satisfied with good.
Psa
104:29 You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their
breath: they die, and return to the dust.
Psa
104:30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the
face of the ground.
Psa
104:31 Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in
his works.
Psa
104:32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the
mountains, and they smoke.
Psa
104:33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise
to my God while I have any being.
Psa
104:34 Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in
Yahweh.
Psa
104:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be
no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!

Corinthians 3
2Co 3:1
Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do
some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
2Co 3:2
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
2Co 3:3
being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written
not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets
of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
2Co 3:4
Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;
2Co 3:5
not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from
ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
2Co 3:6
who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the
letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives
life.
2Co 3:7
But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with
glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on
the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:
2Co 3:8
won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
2Co 3:9
For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of
righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
2Co 3:10
For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been
made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
2Co 3:11
For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which
remains is in glory.
2Co 3:12
Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
2Co 3:13
and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of
Israel wouldn't look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing
away.
2Co 3:14
But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading
of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it
passes away.
2Co 3:15
But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
2Co 3:16
But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2Co 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty.
2Co 3:18
But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of
the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory,
even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
2
Corinthians 4
2Co 4:1
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we
don't faint.
2Co 4:2
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the
manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's
conscience in the sight of God.
2Co 4:3
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish;
2Co 4:4
in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the
unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
2Co 4:5
For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and
ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;
2Co 4:6
seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness,"
who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of
the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2Co 4:7
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding
greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
2Co 4:8
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to
despair;
2Co 4:9
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
2Co 4:10
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus,
that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
2Co 4:11
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that
the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
2Co 4:12
So then death works in us, but life in you.
2Co 4:13
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is
written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also
believe, and therefore also we speak;
2Co 4:14
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with
Jesus, and will present us with you.
2Co 4:15
For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied
through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory
of God.
2Co 4:16
Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet
our inward man is renewed day by day.
2Co 4:17
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more
and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
2Co 4:18
while we don't look at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but
the things which are not seen are eternal.
2
Corinthians 5
2Co 5:1
For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we
have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in
the heavens.
2Co 5:2
For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our
habitation which is from heaven;
2Co 5:3
if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked.
2Co 5:4
For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that
we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that
what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
2Co 5:5
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us
the down payment of the Spirit.
2Co 5:6
Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home
in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
2Co 5:7
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
2Co 5:8
We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent
from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
2Co 5:9
Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be
well pleasing to him.
2Co 5:10
For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that
each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has
done, whether good or bad.
2Co 5:11
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are
revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your
consciences.
2Co 5:12
For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving
you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something
to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
2Co 5:13
For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober
mind, it is for you.
2Co 5:14
For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one
died for all, therefore all died.
2Co 5:15
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to
themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
2Co 5:16
Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we
have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
2Co 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old
things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
2Co 5:18
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus
Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19
namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not
reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the
word of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were
entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to
God.
2Co 5:21
For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in
him we might become the righteousness of God.
