M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
2 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men out of Shittim to spy, secretly, saying, “Go view the land, and Jericho.” And they went and came into a harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
2 And it was told to the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men from the children of Israel have come here tonight to spy on the country.”
3 And the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab, saying, “Bring forth the men who have come to you, who have entered into your house. For they have come to spy on all the land.”
4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. Therefore, she said this, “Men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
5 “And when they shut the gate in the dark, the men went out. I do not know where the men went. Follow after them quickly, for you shall overtake them!”
6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house and hidden them with the stalks of flax which she had spread out upon the roof.
7 And the men pursued after them on the road to Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued after them had gone out, they shut the gate.
8 And before they were asleep, she came up to them on the roof,
9 and said to the men, “I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
10 “For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan (to Sihon and to Og), whom you utterly destroyed.
11 “And when we heard it, our hearts fainted. And there remained no more courage in anyone, because of you. For the LORD your God, He is the God in Heaven above, and on Earth beneath.
12 “Now, therefore, please swear to me, by the LORD, that as I have shown you mercy, you will also show mercy to my father’s house. And give me a true sign
13 “that you will save alive my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters and all that they have; and that you will deliver our souls from death.”
14 And the men answered her, “Our life for yours if you do not utter this business of ours. And when the LORD has given us the land, we will deal mercifully and truly with you.”
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window, for her house was upon the town wall; and she dwelt upon the wall.
16 And she said to them, “Go into the mountain, lest the pursuers encounter you, and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have turned back. Then, afterward, you may go your way.”
17 And the men said to her, “We will be blameless of this oath which you have made us swear
18 if, when we come into the land, you shall bind this cord of red in the window whereby you let us down. And you shall bring your father and your mother and your brothers and all your father’s household home to you.
19 “And whoever then goes out at the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head. And we will be guiltless. But, whoever shall be with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if any hand touches him.
20 “And if you utter this matter, we will be released from your oath which you have made us swear.”
21 And she answered, “According to your words, so be it.” Then she sent them away and they departed. And she bound the red cord in the window.
22 And they departed and came into the mountain and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. And the pursuers sought them all along the road but did not find them.
23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua, the son of Nun, and told him all things that happened to them.
24 Also they said to Joshua, “Surely the LORD has delivered all the land into our hands. For all the inhabitants of the country faint because of us.”
123 I lift up my eyes to You Who dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God until He has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD! Have mercy on us; for we have suffered too much contempt.
4 Our soul is filled too full with the mocking of the wealthy and the contempt of the proud. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of David
124 If the LORD had not been on our side, (may Israel now say)
2 If the LORD had not been on our side when men rose up against us,
3 they would have swallowed us up quickly when their wrath was kindled against us.
4 Then, the waters had drowned us; the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then, the swelling waters had gone over our soul.
6 Praise the LORD, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth!
7 Our soul has escaped, even as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the Name of the LORD, Who has made Heaven and Earth. A song of degrees
125 Those who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed but remains forever.
2 As the mountains are around Jerusalem, so the LORD is around His people from henceforth and forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put forth their hand to wickedness.
4 Do well, O LORD, to those who are good and true in their hearts.
5 But those who turn aside by their crooked ways, they shall be led by the LORD with the workers of iniquity. Peace upon Israel! A song of degrees, or Psalm, of David
62 “For Zion’s sake, I will not be silent. And for Jerusalem’s sake, I will not rest, until their righteousness breaks forth as the light, their salvation as a burning lamp.”
2 And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. And you shall be called by a new name which the Mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 You shall also be a crown of glory in the Hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the Hand of your God.
4 No more shall it be said to you, “Forsaken.” Nor shall it be said anymore to your land, “Desolate.” But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah. For the LORD delights in you; and your land shall have a husband.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you. And as a bridegroom is glad of the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall not cease all the day and all the night, continually. You who are mindful of the LORD, do not keep silence,
7 and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he sets up Jerusalem as the praise of the world.
8 The LORD has sworn by His right Hand and by His strong Arm, “Surely, no more will I give your grain to be food for your enemies. And surely, the sons of the strangers shall not drink your wine for which you have labored.
9 “But those who have gathered it shall eat it and praise the LORD. And its gatherers shall drink it in the courts of My Sanctuary.”
10 Go through! Go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people! Cast up! Cast up the way and gather out the stones! Set up a standard for the people!
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the world, “Tell the daughter, Zion, ‘Behold, your Savior comes. Behold, His wages are with Him and His work before Him.’”
12 And they shall call them, “The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD.” And you shall be named, “A City Sought Out, Not Forsaken.”
10 And He called His twelve disciples to Him, and gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every sickness, and every disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these: The first, Simon (called Peter), and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother,
3 Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus (whose surname was Thaddaeus),
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot (who also betrayed Him).
5 Jesus sent forth these twelve and commanded them, saying, “Do not go the way of the Gentiles. And do not enter into the cities of the Samaritans.
6 “But rather, go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
7 “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
8 “Heal the sick. Cleanse the lepers. Raise up the dead. Cast out the demons. Freely you have received. Freely give.
9 “Do not keep gold or silver or money in your belts,
10 “nor a bag for the journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the worker is worthy of his food.
11 “And into whatever city or town you shall come, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay there until you move on.
12 “And when you come into a house, greet it.
13 “And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 “And whoever shall not receive you or hear your words, shake off the dust of your feet when you depart from that house, or that city.
15 “Truly I say to you, it shall be easier for those of the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the Day of Judgment, than for that city.
16 “Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of the wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17 “But beware of men. For they will deliver you up to the councils and will scourge you in their synagogues.
18 “And you shall be brought to the governors and kings for My sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 “But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak. For what you shall say will be given to you at that hour.
20 “For it is not you who speak. But the Spirit of your Father speaks in you.
21 “And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son. And the children shall rise against their parents and shall cause them to die.
22 “And you shall be hated by all for My Name. But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved.
23 “And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, you shall not have completed all the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.
24 “The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his Lord.
25 “It is enough for the disciple to be as his master is, and the servant as his Lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?

34 “Do not think that I came to send peace to the Earth. I did not come to send peace, but the sword.
35 “For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 “And a man’s enemies shall be those of his own household.
37 “The one who loves father or mother more than Me, is not worthy of Me. And the one who loves son or daughter more than Me, is not worthy of Me.
38 “And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me, is not worthy of Me.
39 “The one who finds his life, shall lose it. And the one who loses his life for My sake, shall find it.
40 “The one who receives you, receives Me. And the one who receives Me, receives Him Who sent Me.
