1 February 2021 Psalm 106:13-24 13 But soon they forgot his deeds and wouldn’t wait for his counsel. 14 In the desert they gave way to insatiable greed; in the wastelands they put God to the test. 15 He gave them what they wanted but sent meagerness into their souls. 16 In the camp they were jealous of Moshe and Aharon, Adonai’s holy one. 17 The earth opened up and swallowed Datan and closed over Aviram’s allies. 18 A fire blazed out against that group, the flames consumed the wicked. 19 In Horev they fashioned a calf,they worshipped a cast metal image. 20 Thus they exchanged their Glory for the image of an ox that eats grass! 21 They forgot God, who had saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 wonders in the land of Ham, fearsome deeds by the Sea of Suf. 23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, [and he would have,] had not Moshe his chosen one stood before him in the breach to turn back his destroying fury. 24 Next, they rejected the beautiful land, they didn’t trust

31 January 2021 Psalm 106:1-12 CJB 1 Halleluyah! Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good, for his grace continues forever. 2 Who can express Adonai’s mighty doings or proclaim in full his praise? 3 How happy are those who act justly, who always do what is right! 4 Remember me, Adonai, when you show favor to your people, keep me in mind when you save them; 5 so I can see how well things are going with those whom you have chosen, so that I can rejoice in your nation’s joy, and glory in your heritage. 6 Together with our ancestors, we have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly 7 Our ancestors in Egypt failed to grasp the meaning of your wonders. They didn’t keep in mind your great deeds of grace but rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Suf. 8 Yet he saved them for his own name’s sake, to make known his mighty power. 9 He rebuked the Sea of Suf, and it dried up; he led them through its depths as through a desert. 10 He saved them from hostile hands, redeemed them from the power of the foe. 11 The

Saturday, 30 January 2021 Psalm 105:31-45 31 He spoke, and there came swarms of insects and lice throughout their land. 32 He gave them hail instead of rain, with fiery [lightning] throughout their land. 33 He struck their vines and fig trees, shattering trees all over their country. 34 He spoke, and locusts came, also grasshoppers without number; 35 they ate up everything green in their land, devoured the fruit of their ground. 36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength. 37 Then he led his people out, laden with silver and gold; among his tribes not one stumbled. 38 Egypt was happy to have them leave, because fear of [Isra’el] had seized them. 39 He spread out a cloud to screen them off and fire to give them light at night. 40 When they asked, he brought them quails and satisfied them with food from heaven. 41 He split a rock, and water gushed out, flowing as a river over the dry ground, 42 for he remembered his holy promise to his servan

28 January 2021   Psalm 105:16-30 16 Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He destroyed all the provision of bread. 17 He sent a man before them—Joseph—who was sold as a slave. 18 They hurt his feet with fetters, He was laid in irons. 19 Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him. 20 The king sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him go free. 21 He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his possessions, 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham. 24 He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies. 25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants. 26 He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen. 27 They performed His signs among them, And wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His word. 29 He turned their waters
