M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man or a woman separates themselves to vow a vow of a Nazirite, to separate to the LORD,
3 ‘he shall abstain from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no sour wine nor sour drink, nor shall drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
4 ‘As long as his abstinence endures, he shall eat nothing that is made from the wine of the vine or the kernels or the husk.
5 ‘While he is separated by his vow, the razor shall not come upon his head until the days are complete in which he separates himself to the LORD. He shall be holy and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6 ‘During the time that he separates himself to the LORD, he shall come near no dead body:
7 ‘He shall not make himself unclean at the death of his father or mother, brother, or sister. For the consecration of his God is upon his head.
8 ‘All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the LORD.
9 ‘And if anyone dies suddenly near him, and the head of his consecration shall be defiled, he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
10 ‘And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
11 ‘Then the Priest shall prepare one for a Sin Offering and the other for a Burnt Offering and shall make an atonement for him, because he sinned concerning the dead. So shall he consecrate his head the same day.
12 ‘And he shall consecrate the days of his separation to the LORD and shall bring a lamb of a year old for a Trespass Offering. But the early days shall be voided, for his consecration was defiled.
13 ‘This, then, is the Law of the Nazirite: when the time of his consecration is ended, he shall come to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
14 ‘And he shall bring his offering to the LORD: a male lamb of a year old without blemish (for a Burnt Offering), a female lamb of a year old without blemish (for a Sin Offering), a ram without blemish (for Peace Offerings),
15 ‘a basket of unleavened bread—of cakes of fine flour, mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread, anointed with oil—with their Meat Offering and their Drink Offerings.
16 ‘The Priest shall bring these before the LORD and make his Sin Offering and his Burnt Offering.
17 ‘He shall also prepare the ram for a Peace Offering to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread. And the Priest shall make his Meat Offering and his Drink Offering.
18 ‘And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his consecration at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration and put it in the fire which is under the Peace Offering.
19 ‘Then, the Priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and an unleavened cake out of the basket, and a wafer (unleavened) and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved his consecration.
20 ‘And the Priest shall shake them to and fro before the LORD. This is a Holy thing for the Priest besides the shaken breast, and besides the heave shoulder. So afterward, the Nazirite may drink wine.
21 ‘This is the Law of the Nazirite which he has vowed from his offering to the LORD for his consecration, in addition to whatever else he is able to bring. According to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do after the Law of his Consecration.’”
22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus shall you bless the children of Israel, and say to them,
24 “The LORD bless you and keep you.
25 “The LORD make His Face shine upon you and be merciful to you.
26 “The LORD lift up His Countenance upon you and give you peace.”
27 ‘So they shall put My Name upon the children of Israel. And I will bless them.’”
40 I waited patiently for the LORD, and He inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 Also, He brought me out of the horrible pit—out of the miry clay—and set my feet upon the rock and ordered my goings.
3 And He has put in my mouth a new song of praise to our God. Many shall see it and fear and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust and does not regard the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 You have made many, O LORD my God, Your wonderful works; so that no one can count to You, in order, Your thoughts toward us. I would declare and speak of them, but they are more than I am able to express.
6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire (my ears You have prepared). Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.
7 Then I said, “Lo, I come. In the roll of the Book it is written of me.
8 “I desired to do Your good will, O my God. Indeed, Your Law is within my heart.”
9 I have declared righteousness in the great congregation. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O LORD, You know.
10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart. I have declared Your truth and Your salvation. I have not concealed Your mercy and Your truth from the great Congregation.
11 Do not withdraw Your tender mercy from me, O LORD. Let Your mercy and Your truth always preserve me.
12 For innumerable troubles have surrounded me. My sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to look up. They are more in number than the hairs of my head. Therefore, my heart has failed me.
13 Let it please You, O LORD, to deliver me. Hurry, O LORD, to help me.
14 Let those who seek my soul to destroy it be confounded and put to shame together. Let those who desire my hurt be driven backward and put to rebuke.
15 Let those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” be destroyed as a reward for their shame,
16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and let those who love Your salvation, say always, “The LORD be praised!”
17 Though I be poor and needy, the LORD thinks on me. You are my Helper and my Deliverer. My God, do not delay. To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
41 Blessed is he who judges wisely of the poor. The LORD shall deliver him in the time of trouble.
2 The LORD will keep him and preserve him alive. He shall be blessed upon the Earth; and You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of sorrow. You have turned all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, “LORD have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5 My enemies speak evil of me, saying, “When shall he die, and his name perish?”
6 And if he come to see me, he speaks lies; his heart heaps iniquity within him. When he comes forth, he tells it.
7 All those who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine my hurt against me, saying,
8 “A mischief lies upon him,” and, “He who lies shall rise no more.”
9 Indeed, my familiar friend whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up the heel against me.
10 Therefore, O LORD, have mercy upon me and raise me up. So shall I reward them.
11 By this I know that You favor me: because my enemy does not triumph against me.
12 And as for me, You uphold me in my integrity, and set me before Your face forever.
13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, world without end! So be it. Even so be it! To him who excels: A Psalm to give instruction, committed to the sons of Korah.
4 “Behold, you are fair, my love. Behold, you are fair! Your eyes are like doves. Among your locks your hair is like the flock of goats which look down from the mountain of Gilead.
2 “Your teeth are like a flock of sheep in good order, which go up from the washing, from which each one brings out twins. And none is barren among them.
3 “Your lips are like a thread of scarlet. And your talk is comely. Your temples are as a piece of a pomegranate within your locks.
4 “Your neck is as the tower of David, built for defense. A thousand shields hang in it, and all the targets of the strong men.
5 “Your two breasts are as two fawns, twins of a gazelle, feeding among the lilies.
6 “Until the day breaks and the shadows fly away, I will go into the mountain of myrrh, and to the mountain of incense.
7 “You are all fair, my love, and there is no spot in you.
8 “Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon. And look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the dens of the lions, and from the mountains of the leopards.
9 “My sister, my spouse, you have wounded my heart. You have wounded my heart with one of your eyes, with a chain of your neck.
10 “My sister, my spouse, how fair is your love? How much better is your love than wine, and the savor of your ointments than all spices?
11 “Your lips, my spouse, drop as honeycombs. Honey and milk are under your tongue. And the savor of your garment is as the savor of Lebanon.
12 “My sister, my spouse, is as an enclosed garden, as a spring shut up, and a fountain sealed up.
13 “Your plants are as an orchard of pomegranates with sweet fruits: henna, spikenard,
14 “spikenard and saffron, calamus, and cinnamon, with all the trees of incense, myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.
15 “O fountain of the gardens! O well of living waters and the springs of Lebanon!”
16 “Arise, O North, and come, O South. Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my well-beloved come to his garden and eat his pleasant fruit.”
4 Therefore, let us fear, lest at any time any of you should seem to have come short of the promise of entering into His rest.
2 For the Gospel was preached to us as well as them. But the word that they heard did not profit them, because it was not mixed with faith in those who heard it.
3 For we who have believed have entered into rest, as He said, “As I have sworn in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter into My rest,’” However, the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way, “And God rested the seventh day from all His works.”
5 And in this place again, “If they shall enter into My rest.”
6 Therefore, seeing it remains that some must enter into it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter therein for unbelief’s sake,
7 again (after so long a time) He appointed through David a certain day - “Today” - by saying, “This day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then would He not later have spoken of another day?
9 There remains, therefore, a rest to the people of God.
10 For the one who has entered into His rest has also ceased from his own works (as God did from His).
11 Therefore, let us study to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
12 For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, passing through even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and the intentions of the heart.
13 Nor is there any creature unseen by Him. But all things are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him to Whom we must give account.
14 Seeing, then, that we have a great High Priest Who has entered into Heaven (Jesus, the Son of God), let us hold firmly to our confession.
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all things tempted in the same way, yet without sin.
16 Therefore, let us go boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
