Psalms
141-144
Psa
141:1 Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my
voice when I call to you.
Psa
141:2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up
of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
Psa
141:3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my
lips.
Psa
141:4 Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of
wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don't let me eat of their
delicacies.
Psa
141:5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove
me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my
prayer is always against evil deeds.
Psa
141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They
will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
Psa
141:7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are
scattered at the mouth of Sheol."
Psa
141:8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take
refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute.
Psa
141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the
traps of the workers of iniquity.
Psa
141:10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I
pass by.
Psa
142:1 I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for
mercy.
Psa
142:2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
Psa
142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In
the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
Psa
142:4 Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is
concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
Psa
142:5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, my
portion in the land of the living."
Psa
142:6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from
my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.
Psa
142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your
name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
Psa
143:1 Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your
faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
Psa
143:2 Don't enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight
no man living is righteous.
Psa
143:3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to
the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have
been long dead.
Psa
143:4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within
me is desolate.
Psa
143:5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I
contemplate the work of your hands.
Psa
143:6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like
a parched land. Selah.
Psa
143:7 Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your
face from me, so that I don't become like those who go down into the
pit.
Psa
143:8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I
trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I
lift up my soul to you.
Psa
143:9 Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
Psa
143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is
good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Psa
143:11 Revive me, Yahweh, for your name's sake. In your
righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Psa
143:12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all
those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
Psa
144:1 Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and
my fingers to battle:
Psa
144:2 my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer,
my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under
me.
Psa
144:3 Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man,
that you think of him?
Psa
144:4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes
away.
Psa
144:5 Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains,
and they will smoke.
Psa
144:6 Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows,
and rout them.
Psa
144:7 Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me
out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;
Psa
144:8 whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of
falsehood.
Psa
144:9 I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I
will sing praises to you.
Psa
144:10 You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David,
his servant, from the deadly sword.
Psa
144:11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners,
whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of
falsehood.
Psa
144:12 Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our
daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
Psa
144:13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our
sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
Psa
144:14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and
no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
Psa
144:15 Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are
the people whose God is Yahweh.

of the majesty of his kingdom.

God as long as I exist.
Psa
146:3 Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom
there is no help.
Psa
146:4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very
day, his thoughts perish.
Psa
146:5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope
is in Yahweh, his God:
Psa
146:6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps truth forever;
Psa
146:7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the
hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
Psa
146:8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who
are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.

generations. Praise Yah!

when they call.

hope in his loving kindness.
Psa
147:12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
Psa
147:13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has
blessed your children within you.
Psa
147:14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest
of the wheat.

Galatians
4
Gal 4:1
But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different
from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;
Gal 4:2
but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the
father.
Gal 4:3
So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the
elemental principles of the world.
Gal 4:4
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to
a woman, born under the law,
Gal 4:5
that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might
receive the adoption of children.
Gal 4:6
And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into
your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"
Gal 4:7
So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an
heir of God through Christ.
Gal 4:8
However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those
who by nature are not gods.
Gal 4:9
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God,
why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental
principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
Gal 4:10
You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
Gal 4:11
I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
Gal 4:12
I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you
are. You did me no wrong,
Gal 4:13
but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the
Good News to you the first time.
Gal 4:14
That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise
nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ
Jesus.
Gal 4:15
What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if
possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Gal 4:16
So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Gal 4:17
They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate
you, that you may seek them.
Gal 4:18
But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only
when I am present with you.
Gal 4:19
My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is
formed in you--
Gal 4:20
but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone,
for I am perplexed about you.
Gal 4:21
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don't you listen to the
law?
Gal 4:22
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and
one by the free woman.
Gal 4:23
However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but
the son by the free woman was born through promise.
Gal 4:24
These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is
from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
Gal 4:25
For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem
that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26
But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us
all.
Gal 4:27
For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who don't bear. Break
forth and shout, you that don't travail. For more are the children of
the desolate than of her who has a husband."
Gal 4:28
Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Gal 4:29
But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him
who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Gal 4:30
However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and
her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of
the free woman."
Gal 4:31
So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free
woman.
Galatians
5
Gal 5:1
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,
and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Gal 5:2
Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ
will profit you nothing.
Gal 5:3
Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he
is a debtor to do the whole law.
Gal 5:4
You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the
law. You have fallen away from grace.
Gal 5:5
For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of
righteousness.
Gal 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor
uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
Gal 5:7
You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not
obey the truth?
Gal 5:8
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
Gal 5:9 A
little yeast grows through the whole lump.
Gal 5:10
I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other
way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
Gal 5:11
But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still
persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
Gal 5:12
I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
Gal 5:13
For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your
freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one
another.
Gal 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall
love your neighbor as yourself."
Gal 5:15
But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't
consume one another.
Gal 5:16
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the
flesh.
Gal 5:17
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the
things that you desire.
Gal 5:18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Gal 5:19
Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual
immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
Gal 5:20
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger,
rivalries, divisions, heresies,
Gal 5:21
envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of
which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who
practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Gal 5:24
Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions
and lusts.
Gal 5:25
If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.
Gal 5:26
Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one
another.
Galatians
6
Gal 6:1
Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are
spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking
to yourself so that you also aren't tempted.
Gal 6:2
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Gal 6:3
For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he
deceives himself.
Gal 6:4
But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in
himself and not in his neighbor.
Gal 6:5
For each man will bear his own burden.
Gal 6:6
But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him
who teaches.
Gal 6:7
Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that
he will also reap.
Gal 6:8
For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption.
But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Gal 6:9
Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if
we don't give up.
Gal 6:10
So then, as we have opportunity, let's do what is good toward all
men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the
faith.
Gal 6:11
See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.
Gal 6:12
As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be
circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of
Christ.
Gal 6:13
For even they who receive circumcision don't keep the law themselves,
but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your
flesh.
Gal 6:14
But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world.
Gal 6:15
For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creation.
Gal 6:16
As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on
God's Israel.
Gal 6:17
From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of
the Lord Jesus branded on my body.
Gal 6:18
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers.
Amen.
