Psalm 86:1-10

86 (0) A prayer of David:

(1) Listen, Adonai, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am faithful;
save your servant,
who puts his trust in you
because you are my God.
Take pity on me, Adonai,
for I cry to you all day.

Fill your servant’s heart with joy,
for to you, Adonai, I lift my heart.
Adonai, you are kind and forgiving,
full of grace toward all who call on you.
Listen, Adonai, to my prayer;
pay attention to my pleading cry.
On the day of my trouble I am calling on you,
for you will answer me.

There is none like you among the gods, Adonai;
no deeds compare with yours.
All the nations you have made
will come and bow before you, Adonai;
they will honor your name.
10 For you are great, and you do wonders;
you alone are God.

Exodus 12:43-49

43 Adonai said to Moshe and Aharon, “This is the regulation for the Pesach lamb: no foreigner is to eat it. 44 But if anyone has a slave he bought for money, when you have circumcised him, he may eat it. 45 Neither a traveler nor a hired servant may eat it. 46 It is to be eaten in one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you are not to break any of its bones. 47 The whole community of Isra’el is to keep it. 48 If a foreigner staying with you wants to observe Adonai’s Pesach, all his males must be circumcised. Then he may take part and observe it; he will be like a citizen of the land. But no uncircumcised person is to eat it. 49 The same teaching is to apply equally to the citizen and to the foreigner living among you.”

Hebrews 2:5-9

For it was not to angels that God subjected the ‘olam haba — which is what we are talking about. And there is a place where someone has given this solemn testimony:

“What is mere man, that you concern yourself with him?
or the son of man, that you watch over him with such care?
You made him a little lower than the angels,
you crowned him with glory and honor,
you put everything in subjection under his feet.”[a]

In subjecting everything to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him. However, at present, we don’t see everything subjected to him — at least, not yet. But we do see Yeshua — who indeed was made for a little while lower than the angels — now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by God’s grace he might taste death for all humanity.
