1 January 2021 Psalm 82 1 God stands in the congregation of [ a ]the mighty; He judges among the [ b ]gods. 2 How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3 [ c ]Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked. 5 They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are [ d ]unstable. 6 I said, “You are [ e ]gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. 7 But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.” 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations. Dear Avi, Blessed Are YOU Adonai Elohim, King of the Universe! My Everlasting! Toda Raba for this brand new year where YOU promised to blessed me, spoken by YOUR Prophets that this is the year of my favor where YOU will fulfill all YOUR promises to me. I woke up so early again today but  I thank YOU because YOUR love for me is ever

31 December 2020 Psalm 81 (0) For the Leader. On the gittit. By Asaf: 2 (1) Sing for joy to God our strength! Shout to the God of Ya‘akov! 3 (2) Start the music! Beat the drum! Play the sweet lyre and the lute! 4 (3) Sound the shofar at Rosh-Hodesh and at full moon for the pilgrim feast, 5 (4) because this is a law for Isra’el, a ruling of the God of Ya‘akov. 6 (5) He placed it as a testimony in Y’hosef when he went out against the land of Egypt. I heard an unfamiliar voice say, 7 (6) “I lifted the load from his shoulder; his hands were freed from the [laborer’s] basket. 8 (7) You called out when you were in trouble, and I rescued you; I answered you from the thundercloud; I tested you at the M’rivah Spring [by saying,] (Selah) 9 (8) “‘Hear, my people, while I give you warning! Isra’el, if you would only listen to me! 10 (9) There is not to be with you any foreign god; you are not to worship an alien god. 11 (10) I am Adonai your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

30 December 2020 Psalm 80 (0) For the leader. Set to “Lilies.” A testimony. A psalm of Asaf: 2 (1) Shepherd of Isra’el, listen! You who lead Yosef like a flock, you whose throne is on the k’ruvim, shine out! 3 (2) Before Efrayim, Binyamin and M’nasheh, rouse your power; and come to save us. 4 (3) God, restore us!

Make your face shine, and we will be saved. 9 (8) You brought a vine out of Egypt, you expelled the nations and planted it, 10 (9) you cleared a space for it; then it took root firmly and filled the land. 11 (10) The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches; 12 (11) It put out branches as far as the sea and shoots to the [Euphrates] R

29 December 2020 Psalm 79 (0) A psalm of Asaf: (1) God, the pagans have entered your heritage. They have defiled your holy temple and turned Yerushalayim into rubble. 2 They have given the corpses of your servants as food for the birds in the air, yes, the flesh of those faithful to you for the wild animals of the earth. 3 All around Yerushalayim they have shed their blood like water, and no one is left to bury them. 4 We suffer the taunts of our neighbors, we are mocked and scorned by those around us. 5 How long, Adonai? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire? 6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call out your name; 7 for they have devoured Ya‘akov and left his home a waste. 8 Don’t count past iniquities against us, but let your compassion come quickly to meet us, for we have been brought very low. 9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of your name. Deliver us, forgive our sins, for you

28 December 20220,   Psalm 78 CJB 1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. 9 The children of Ephra
