Sep 20: Psalm 82; Jeremiah 49

God takes His stand in the congregation of God;
He judges in the midst of gods.
How long will you judge unrighteously
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.
Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
Justify the afflicted and destitute.
Protect the poor and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who will inherit all the nations.

Sep 16: Psalm 78; Jeremiah 37-39

Give ear, O my people, to my instruction;
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will pour forth dark sayings of old,
Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have recounted to us.
We will not conceal them from their children,
But recount to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh,
And His strength and His wondrous deeds that He has done.

For He established a testimony in Jacob
And set a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,
That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and recount them to their children,
That they should set their confidence in God
And not forget the deeds of God,
But observe His commandments,
And not be like their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Sep 14: Psalm 76; Jeremiah 32-33

You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared and was quiet
When God arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
For the wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.
Make vows to Yahweh your God and pay them;
Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.
He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Sep 11: Psalm 73; Jeremiah 23-25

Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
My flesh and my heart fail,
But God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.
For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed everyone who is unfaithful to You.
But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have set Lord Yahweh as my refuge,
That I may recount all Your works.
