Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.
Bible
May 18: Psalm 138; 2Kings 23:31-25
I will give You thanks with all my heart;
I will sing praises to You before the gods.
I will worship toward Your holy temple
And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name.
On the day I called, You answered me;
You made me bold with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth, O Yahweh, will give You thanks,
When they hear the words of Your mouth.
And they will sing of the ways of Yahweh,
For great is the glory of Yahweh.
For Yahweh is high,
Yet He sees the lowly,
But the one who exalts himself He knows from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of distress, You will revive me;
You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
Yahweh will accomplish what concerns me;
O Yahweh, Your lovingkindness endures forever;
Do not fail the works of Your hands.
May 17: Psalm 137; 2Kings 21-23:30
May 16: Psalm 136; 2Kings 19-20
Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
To Him who made the heavens with skill,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
To Him who spread out the earth above the waters,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
To Him who made the great lights,
For His lovingkindness endures forever:
The sun to rule by day,
For His lovingkindness endures forever,
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Who remembered us in our low estate,
For His lovingkindness endures forever,
And has snatched us from our adversaries,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
Who gives food to all flesh,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
May 15: Psalm 135; 2Kings 17-18
Praise Yah!
Praise the name of Yahweh;
Praise Him, O slaves of Yahweh,
You who stand in the house of Yahweh,
In the courts of the house of our God!
Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good;
Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
For Yah has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His treasured possession.
For I know that Yahweh is great
And that our Lord is greater than all gods.
Whatever Yahweh pleases, He does,
In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
The One who causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
Who makes lightnings for the rain,
Who brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
May 14: Psalm 134; 2Kings 14-16
Behold, bless Yahweh, all you slaves of Yahweh,
Who stand in the house of Yahweh by night!
Lift up your hands to the sanctuary
And bless Yahweh.
May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
Who made heaven and earth.
May 13: Psalm 133; 2Kings 11-13
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
May 12: Psalm 132; 2Kings 9-10
I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon him, his crown shall blossom.”
May 11: Psalm 131; 2Kings 6-8
O Yahweh, my heart is not exalted, and my eyes are not raised high;
And I do not involve myself in great matters,
Or in matters too marvelous for me.
Surely I have soothed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother,
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, wait for Yahweh
From now until forever.
May 10: Psalm 130; 2Kings 4-5
Out of the depths I called to You, O Yahweh.
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with You there is forgiveness,
That You may be feared.
