Psalm 3

A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.

Many are saying of my soul, `There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah.

And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.

My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.

I -- I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.

Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! Selah.

Habakkuk 2:12-20

12 Wo [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.

13 Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?

14 For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea.

15 Wo [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness.

16 Thou hast been filled -- shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing [is] on thine honour.

17 For violence [to] Lebanon doth cover thee, And spoil of beasts doth affright them, Because of man's blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.

18 What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation -- to make dumb idols?

19 Wo [to] him who is saying to wood, `Awake,' `Stir up,' to a dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid -- gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.

20 And Jehovah [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!

Mark 11:12-14

12 And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,

13 and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

14 and Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee -- to the age -- may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing.

Mark 11:20-24

20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

21 and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'

22 And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;

23 for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

24 Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.
