O Yahweh, who may sojourn in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?
He who walks blamelessly, and works righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart.
He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
In whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But who honors those who fear Yahweh;
He swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He does not put out his money at interest,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.
Jan 14: Psalm 14; Genesis 46-48
The wicked fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They act corruptly, they commit abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who has insight,
Anyone who seeks after God.
They have all turned aside, altogether they have become worthless;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
Jan 13: Psalm 13; Genesis 42-45
But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to Yahweh,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
Jan 11: Psalm 11; Genesis 36-38
If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”
Yahweh is in His holy temple; Yahweh’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
Jan 10: Psalm 10; Genesis 32-35
O Yahweh, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, You will cause Your ear to give heed
To give justice to the orphan and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror
Jan 9: Psalm 9; Genesis 29-21
I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart;
I will recount all Your wondrous deeds.
I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
Jan 8: Psalm 8; Genesis 27-28
O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who displays Your splendor above the heavens!
•••
When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have established;
What is man that You remember him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
•••
O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
Jan 7: Psalm 7; Genesis 25-26
I will give thanks to Yahweh according to His righteousness
And will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
Jan 6: Psalm 6; Genesis 22-24
O Yahweh, do not reprove me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am pining away;
Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are dismayed.
And my soul is greatly dismayed;
But You, O Yahweh—how long?
Return, O Yahweh, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.
Jan 5: Psalm 5; Genesis 18-20
Give ear to my words, O Yahweh,
Consider my meditation.
Give heed to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,
For to You I pray.
O Yahweh, in the morning, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
•••
But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy;
And may You shelter them,
That those who love Your name may exult in You.
For it is You who blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,
You surround him with favor as with a large shield.
