You, O Yahweh, abide forever,
And the remembrance of Your name from generation to generation.
You will arise and have compassion on Zion—
For it is time to be gracious to it,
For the appointed time has come.
—
Your years are from generation to all generations.
Of old You founded the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
Even they will perish, but You will remain;
And all of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.

April 11: Psalm 101; 1Samuel 14:47-16
I will sing of lovingkindness and justice,
To You, O Yahweh, I will sing praises.
I will consider the way of the blameless.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
I will set no vile thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
A crooked heart shall depart from me;
I will know no evil.
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;
Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart, I will not endure.
My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may abide with me;
He who walks in the way of the blameless is the one who will minister to me.
He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who speaks lies shall not be established before my eyes.
Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
To cut off from the city of Yahweh all the workers of iniquity.
April 10: Psalm 100; 1Samuel 12-14:46
Make a loud shout to Yahweh, all the earth.
Serve Yahweh with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful songs.
Know that Yahweh, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For Yahweh is good;
His lovingkindness endures forever
And His faithfulness, generation unto generation.
April 9: Psalm 99; 1Samuel 8-11
Yahweh reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth quake!
Yahweh is great in Zion,
And He is exalted above all the peoples.
Let them praise Your great and awesome name;
Holy is He.
The strength of the King loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have done justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt Yahweh our God
And worship at the footstool of His feet;
Holy is He.
•••
O Yahweh our God, You answered them;
You were a forgiving God to them,
And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.
Exalt Yahweh our God
And worship at His holy mountain,
For holy is Yahweh our God.
April 8: Psalm 98; 1Samuel 4-7
Make a loud shout to Yahweh, all the earth;
Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises.
Sing praises to Yahweh with the lyre,
With the lyre and the sound of singing.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
Make a loud shout before King Yahweh.
Let the sea roar, as well as its fullness,
The world and those who dwell in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands,
Let the mountains sing together for joy
Before Yahweh, for He is coming to judge the earth;
He will judge the world with righteousness
And the peoples with equity.
April 7: Psalm 97; 1Samuel 1-3
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous ones,
And give thanks for the remembrance of His holy name.
April 6: Psalm 96; Ruth
Sing to Yahweh a new song;
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
Sing to Yahweh, bless His name;
Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.
Recount His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.
For great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised;
He is more fearsome than all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But Yahweh made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
•••
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, as well as its fullness;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before Yahweh, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
April 5: Psalm 95; Judges 20-21
Oh come, let us sing for joy to Yahweh,
Let us make a loud shout to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us make a loud shout to Him with songs of praise.
For Yahweh is a great God
And a great King above all gods,
In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before Yahweh our Maker.
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts
April 4: Psalm 94; Judges 17-19
If Yahweh had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
If I should say, “My foot has stumbled,”
Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, will hold me up.
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your consolations delight my soul.
April 3: Psalm 93; Judges 13-16
Yahweh reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
Yahweh has clothed and girded Himself with strength;
Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken.
Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting.
•••
Yahweh on high is mighty.
Your testimonies are very faithful;
Holiness befits Your house,
O Yahweh, forevermore.
