50 “And die on the mount which you go up to. And you shall be gathered to your people (as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people)
51 “because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah, at Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin. For you did not sanctify Me among the children of Israel.
52 “You shall, therefore, see the land before you but shall not go there, into the land which I give the children of Israel.”
AIN
121 I have executed judgment and justice, leave me not to my oppressors.
122 Answer for Your servant in that which is good, and do not let the proud oppress me.
123 My eyes have failed, longing for Your salvation and for Your just Promise.
124 Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy and teach me Your Statutes.
125 I am Your servant. Grant me, therefore, understanding, that I may know Your Testimonies.
126 It is time for You, LORD, to work. For they have destroyed Your Law.
127 Therefore I love Your Commandments above gold—yea, above most fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all Your Precepts most just and hate all false ways.
PE
129 Your Testimonies are wonderful. Therefore, my soul keeps them.
130 The entrance into Your Words shows light and gives understanding to the simple.
131 I opened my mouth and panted, because I loved Your Commandments.
132 Look upon me and be merciful to me, as you used to do to those who love Your Name.
133 Direct my steps in Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of men, and I will keep Your Precepts.
135 Show the light of Your Countenance upon Your servant; and teach me Your Statutes.
136 My eyes gush out with rivers of water because they do not keep Your Law.
TZADDI
137 Righteous are You, O LORD, and just are Your Judgments.
138 You have commanded justice by Your Testimonies and Truth, especially.
139 My zeal has even consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten Your Words.
140 Your Word is proved most pure. And Your servant loves it.
141 I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your Precepts.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. And Your Law is Truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have come upon me. Yet are the Commandments my delight.
144 The righteousness of Your Testimonies is everlasting. Grant me understanding, and I shall live.
59 Behold, the LORD’s Hand is not shortened, that it cannot save. Nor is His Ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have put separation between you and your God. And your sins have hidden His Face from you, so that He will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue has murmured iniquity.
4 No man calls for justice. No man contends for truth. They trust in vanity and speak vain things. They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch viper’s eggs and weave the spider’s web. He who eats of their eggs, dies. And that which is stepped on breaks out into a serpent.
6 Their webs shall be no garment. Nor shall they cover themselves with their labors. Their works are works of iniquity. And the work of cruelty is in their hands.
7 Their feet turn to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are wicked thoughts. Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they do not know. And there is no justice in their ways. They have made themselves crooked paths. Whoever goes in there shall not know peace.
9 Therefore judgment is far from us. Nor does justice come near to us. We wait for light, but lo, it is darkness, for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as one without eyes. We stumble at the noon day as in the twilight, in solitary places, as dead men.
11 We roar all like bears and mourn like doves. We look for judgment, but there is none, for health, but it is far from us.
12 For our trespasses are many before You. And our sins testify against us. For our trespasses are with us. And we know our iniquities
13 in trespassing and lying against the LORD. And we have departed away from our God, have spoken of cruelty and rebellion, conceiving and uttering false matters out of the heart.
14 Therefore, judgment has turned backward. And justice stands far off. For truth has fallen in the street, and truth cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth fails. And he who refrains from evil makes himself a prey. And when the LORD saw it, it displeased Him that there was no judgment.
16 And when He saw that there was no man, He wondered that none would offer himself. Therefore, His Arm saved it, and His righteousness itself sustained it.
17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon His Head. And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 As a recompense, to requite the fury of the adversaries (a recompense to His enemies), He will fully repay the islands.
19 So shall they fear the Name of the LORD from the West, and His Glory from the rising of the Sun. For the enemy shall come like a flood. But the Spirit of the LORD shall chase him away.
20 “And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who turn from iniquity in Jacob,” says the LORD.
21 “And I will make this My Covenant with them,” says the LORD, “My Spirit, Who is upon you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of the seed of your seed,” says the LORD, “from henceforth, even forever.”
7 “Judge not, that you be not judged.
2 “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again.
3 “And why do you see the splinter that is in your brother’s eye, and not perceive the beam that is in your own eye?
4 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me cast out the splinter from your eye’, and behold a beam is in your own eye?
5 “Hypocrite! First, cast out that beam from your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast out the splinter from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give that which is holy to dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet. And, turning again, all attack you!
7 “Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 “For whoever asks, receives. And the one who seeks, finds. And to the one who knocks, it shall be opened.
9 “For what man is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, would give him a stone?
10 “Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 “If you then, who are evil, can give to your children good gifts, how much more shall your Father, Who is in Heaven, give good things to those who ask Him?
12 “Therefore, whatever you would have men do to you, even so do to them. For this is the Law and the Prophets.
13 “Enter in at the strait gate. For it is the wide gate and broad way that leads to destruction. And many go in there.
14 “Because the gate is strait and the way narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
15 “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing; but inwardly, they are ravening wolves.
16 “You shall know them by their fruits. Does man gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 “So every good tree brings forth good fruit, and a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
18 “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 “Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
20 “Therefore, you shall know them by their fruits.
21 “Not everyone that says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does My Father’s will, Who is in Heaven.
22 “Many will say to Me on that Day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name; and by Your Name cast out demons; and by Your Name done many great works?’
23 “And then will I proclaim to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who work iniquity.’
24 “Whoever then hears these words, and does the same, will be like a wise man who has built his house on a rock.
25 “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house. And it did not fall. For it was grounded on a rock.
26 “But whoever hears these, My words, and does not do them, shall be like a foolish man, who has built his house upon the sand.
27 “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house. And it fell. And its fall was great.”
28 And it happened that when Jesus had ended these words, the people were astonished at His doctrine.
29 For He taught them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.
