3 March 2021 Psalm 119:81-88 כ (Kaf) 81 I am dying to know your salvation; my hope is in your word. 82 My eyes fail from watching for your promise; I ask, “When will you comfort me?” 83 For I have shriveled like a wineskin in a smoky room; still, I don’t forget your laws. 84 How long can your servant stay alive? When will you bring judgment on my persecutors? 85 The arrogant have dug pits for me to fall in; this is not in keeping with your Torah! 86 All your mitzvot [show your] faithfulness; they are hounding me with lies; help me! 87 They have nearly ended my life on earth, but I have not abandoned your precepts. 88 In keeping with your grace, revive me; and I will observe your spoken instructions.   Exodus 33:17-23 (iv) 17 Adonai said to Moshe, “I will also do what you have asked me to do, because you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 18 But Moshe said, “I beg you to show me your glory!” 19 He replied, “I will cause all my goodness to pass before you, and i...

24 February 2021 Psalm 119 ד (Dalet) 25 I lie prostrate in the dust; revive me, in keeping with your word. 26 I told you of my ways, and you answered me; teach me your laws. 27 Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wonders. 28 I am melting away from anxiety and grief; renew my strength, in keeping with your word. 29 Keep deceitful ways far from me, and favor me with your Torah. 30 I choose the way of trust; I set your rulings [before me]. 31 I cling to your instruction; Adonai, don’t let me be put to shame! 32 I will run the way of your mitzvot, for you have broadened my understanding. Dear Avi, Blessed are YOU Adonai Elohim Tzeva'ot - King of the Universe! My Everlasting! My Truth!

17 February 2021 Psalm 116 1 I love that Adonai heard my voice when I prayed; 2 because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. 3 The cords of death were all around me, Sh’ol’s constrictions held me fast; I was finding only distress and anguish. 4 But I called on the name of Adonai: “Please, Adonai! Save me!” 5 Adonai is merciful and righteous; yes, our God is compassionate. 6 Adonai preserves the thoughtless; when I was brought low, he saved me. 7 My soul, return to your rest! For Adonai has been generous toward you. 8 Yes, you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling. 9 I will go on walking in the presence of Adonai in the lands of the living. 10 I will keep on trusting even when I say, “I am utterly miserable,” 11 even when, in my panic, I declare, “Everything human is deceptive.” 12 How can I repay Adonai for all his generous dealings with me? 13 I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of Adonai. 14 I will pay my ...

10 February 2021 Psalm 109b 17 He loved cursing; may it recoil on him! He didn’t like blessing; may it stay far from him! 18 He clothed himself with cursing as routinely as with his coat; May it enter inside him as easily as water, as easily as oil into his bones. 19 May it cling to him like the coat he wears, like the belt he wraps around himself.” 20 This is what my adversaries want Adonai to do, those who speak evil against me. 21 But you, God, Adonai, treat me as your name demands; rescue me, because your grace is good. 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart within me is wounded. 23 Like a lengthening evening shadow, I am gone; I am shaken off like a locust. 24 My knees are weak from lack of food, my flesh wastes away for lack of nourishment. 25 I have become the object of their taunts; when they see me, they shake their heads. 26 Help me, Adonai, my God! Save me, in keeping with your grace; 27 so that they will know that this comes from your hand, that you, Adonai, have done it...

3 February 2021 Psalm 106 37 They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. 38 Yes, they shed innocent blood, the blood of their own sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to Kena‘an’s false gods, polluting the land with blood. 39 Thus they were defiled by their deeds; they prostituted themselves by their actions, 40 For this Adonai’s fury blazed up against his people, and he detested his heritage. 41 He handed them over to the power of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. 42 Their enemies oppressed them and kept them in subjection to their power. 43 Many times [God] rescued them, but they kept making plans to rebel. Thus they were brought low by their own wrongdoing. 44 Still he took pity on their distress whenever he heard their cry. 45 For their sakes he kept in mind his covenant and in his limitless grace relented, 46 causing them to be treated with compassion by all who had taken them captive. 47 Save us, Adonai our God! Gather us from among th...

13 January 2021 Psalm 93 1 Adonai is king, robed in majesty; Adonai is robed, girded with strength; The world is well established; it cannot be moved. 2  Your throne was established long ago; you have existed forever. 3  Adonai , the deep is raising up, the deep is raising up its voice, the deep is raising its crashing waves. 4  More than the sound of rushing waters or the mighty breakers of the sea, Adonai on high is mighty. 5  Your instructions are very sure; holiness befits your house, Adonai , for all time to come. Heavenly Father Avi, O HOLY ONE of Israel! Blessed are YOU Adonai Elohim, King of the Universe reigning in Majesty, My Everlasting! YOU have exited forever. YOU are begining and the end.

Avi Let YOUR Kingdom come, let YOUR will be done unto me, Anthony Wahl, our families...
