Yahweh’s Greatness Is Unsearchable
A Praise of David.
Aleph
Beth
2 Every day I will bless You,
And I will (D)praise Your name forever and ever.
Gimel
Daleth
4 One (G)generation shall laud Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty deeds.
He
5 On the (H)glorious [a]splendor of Your majesty
And (I)on the words of Your wondrous deeds, I will muse.
Vav
Zayin
7 They shall pour forth the memory of Your (L)abundant goodness
And will (M)shout joyfully of Your righteousness.
Heth
8 Yahweh is (N)gracious and compassionate;
Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.
13 And He will (A)stretch out His hand against the north
And cause (B)Assyria to perish,
And He will make (C)Nineveh a desolation,
Parched like the wilderness.
14 Flocks will lie down in her midst,
All the beasts of the nation;
Both the [a](D)pelican and the hedgehog
Will lodge in [b]the tops of her pillars;
Their voice will sing in the window,
Ruin will be on the threshold;
For He has laid bare the cedar work.
15 This is the (E)exultant city
Which (F)inhabits securely,
Who says in her heart,
“(G)I am, and there is no one besides me.”
How she has become an object of (H)horror,
A resting place for beasts!
(I)Everyone who passes by her will hiss
And wave his hand in contempt.
23 And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you, (A)it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, (B)it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 And when the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?” 26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, “(C)With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Many Who Are First Will Be Last
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?” 28 And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when (D)the Son of Man will sit on [a]His glorious throne, (E)you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And (F)everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother [b]or children or farms for My name’s sake, will receive [c]one hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life. 30 (G)But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.
