2 March 2021 Psalm 119:73-80 י (Yud) 73 Your hands made and formed me; give me understanding, so I can learn your mitzvot. 74 Those who fear you rejoice at the sight of me, because I put my hope in your word. 75 I know, Adonai, that your rulings are righteous, that even when you humble me you are faithful. 76 Let your grace comfort me, in keeping with your promise to your servant. 77 Show me pity, and I will live, for your Torah is my delight. 78 Let the proud be ashamed, because they wrong me with lies; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts. 79 Let those who fear you turn to me, along with those who know your instruction. 80 Let my heart be pure in your laws, so that I won’t be put to shame. Exodus 33 1 Adonai said to Moshe, “Leave, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt; and move on from here toward the land of which I swore to Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya‘akov, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ 2 I will send an angel ahead of you; and I will drive out t...

23 February 2021   Psalm 119 ג (Gimel)  17 Deal generously with your servant; then I will live and observe your word. 18 Open my eyes, so that I will see wonders from your Torah. 19 Though I’m just a wanderer on the earth, don’t hide your mitzvot from me. 20 I am continually consumed with longing for your rulings. 21 You rebuke the proud, the cursed, who stray from your mitzvot. 22 Remove scorn and contempt from me, because I observe your instruction. 23 Even when princes sit and plot against me, your servant meditates on your laws. 24 Also your instructions are my delight; they are my counselors. Dear Avi, Blessed are YOU Adonai Elohim Tzeva'ot - King of the Universe - My Everlasting! Oh Abba, toda raba for YOU are so good! So wonderfully on time. Today I was baffled by the sleep paralysis I experienced last night and I had no one else to blame but the ones I saw in my vision before I slept. But I understood that YOU allowing me to be disturbed or be unprotected would probabl...

16 February 2021 Psalm 115 CJB 1 Not to us, Adonai, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your grace and truth. 2 Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” 3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. 4 Their idols are mere silver and gold, made by human hands. 5 They have mouths, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see; 6 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell; 7 they have hands, but they can’t feel; they have feet, but they can’t walk; with their throats they can’t make a sound. 8 The people who make them will become like them, along with everyone who trusts in them. 9 Isra’el, trust in Adonai! He is their help and shield. 10 House of Aharon, trust in Adonai! He is their help and shield. 11 You who fear Adonai, trust in Adonai! He is their help and shield. 12 Adonai has kept us in mind, and he will bless. He will bless the house of Isra’el; he will bless the house of Aharon; 13 he will bless those who ...

2 February 2021 Psalm 106:25-36 24 Next, they rejected the beautiful land, they didn’t trust his promise; 25 and they complained in their tents, they didn’t obey Adonai. 26 Therefore, raising his hand, he swore to them that he would strike them down in the desert 27 and strike down their descendants among the nations, dispersing them in foreign lands. 28 Now they joined themselves to Ba‘al-P‘or and ate meat sacrificed to dead things. 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds, so that a plague broke out among them. 30 Then Pinchas stood up and executed judgment; so the plague was checked. 31 That was credited to him as righteousness, through all generations forever. 32 They angered him at the M’rivah Spring, and Moshe suffered on their account; 33 for when they embittered his spirit, [Moshe] spoke up without thinking. 34 They failed to destroy the peoples, as Adonai had ordered them to do, 35 but mingled with the nations and learned to follow their ways. 36 They went on to ser...

26 January 2021 20:00 @ 25 January Psalm 104 19 You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set. 20 You bring darkness, and it is night, the time when all forest animals prowl. 21 The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God. 22 The sun rises, they slink away and lie down to rest in their dens; 23 while people go out to their work, laboring on till evening. 24 What variety there is in your works, Adonai! How many [of them there are]! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creations. 25 Look at the sea, so great, so wide! It teems with countless creatures, living beings, both large and small. 26 The ships are there, sailing to and fro; Livyatan, which you formed to play there. 27 All of them look to you to give them their food when they need it. 28 When you give it to them, they gather it; when you open your hand, they are well satisfied. 29 If you hide your face, they vanish; if you hold back their breath, they perish and...

19 January 2021 Psalm 99 1 Adonai is king; let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned on the k’ruvim; let the earth shake! 2 Adonai is great in Tziyon; he is high above all the peoples. 3 Let them praise your great and fearsome name (he is holy): 4 “Mighty king who loves justice, you established fairness, justice and righteousness in Ya‘akov.” 5 Exalt Adonai our God! Prostrate yourselves at his footstool (he is holy). 6 Moshe and Aharon among his cohanim and Sh’mu’el among those who call on his name called on Adonai, and he answered them. 7 He spoke to them in the column of cloud; they kept his instructions and the law that he gave them. 8 Adonai our God, you answered them. To them you were a forgiving God, although you took vengeance on their wrongdoings. 9 Exalt Adonai our God, bow down toward his holy mountain, for Adonai our God is holy! Avi Yakar, Blessed are YOU Adonai Elohim King of the Universe!!! My Everlasting! Father, YOU are my refuge and strength, my fortress my shelter, m...
