God, having spoken long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days spoke to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds, who is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power; who, having accomplished cleansing for sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high

Do good, O Yahweh, to those who are good
And to those who are upright in their hearts.
But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways,
Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity.
Peace be upon Israel.

Blessed be Yahweh,
Who has not given us to be prey for their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.

To You I lift up my eyes,
The One enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a servant-girl to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to Yahweh our God,
Until He is gracious to us.
Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us,
For we are greatly saturated with contempt.
Our soul is greatly saturated
With the mockery of those who are at ease,
And with the contempt of the proud.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
May peace be within your walls,
And tranquility within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to stumble;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will not slumber and will not sleep.

Yahweh is your keeper;
Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
Yahweh will keep you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in
From now until forever.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

But when the kindness and affection of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not by works which we did in righteousness, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be intent to lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for men. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and conflicts about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

May Your lovingkindnesses also come to me, O Yahweh,
Your salvation according to Your word;
So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.
And do not take away the word of truth utterly from my mouth,
For I wait for Your judgments.
So I will keep Your law continually,
Forever and ever.
And I will walk in a wide place,
For I seek Your precepts.
I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
And I shall not be ashamed.
I shall delight in Your commandments,
Which I love.
And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I love;
And I will muse on Your statutes.

Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

From my distress I called upon Yah;
Yah answered me and set me in a large place.
Yahweh is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me?
•••

It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
Than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
Than to trust in nobles.

The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.
This is from Yahweh;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day which Yahweh has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
•••

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, I exalt You.
Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

This is the day which Yahweh has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
