Psalm 27
My Stronghold
Davidic.
1 The
Lord
is my light and my salvation—
whom should I fear?(a)
The
Lord
is the stronghold of my life—
of whom should I be afraid?(b)
2 When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh,(c)
my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.(d)
3 Though an army deploys against me,
my heart is not afraid;
though a war breaks out against me,
still I am confident.(e)
4 I have asked one thing from the
Lord
;
it is what I desire:
to dwell in the house of the
Lord
all the days of my life,(f)
gazing on the beauty of the
Lord
(g)
and seeking Him in His temple.(h)
5 For He will conceal me in His shelter
in the day of adversity;
He will hide me under the cover of His tent;
He will set me high on a rock.(i)
6 Then my head will be high
above my enemies around me;(j)
I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy.(k)
I will sing and make music to the
Lord
.(l)
7
Lord
, hear my voice when I call;
be gracious to me and answer me.(m)
8 My heart says this about You,
"You[a] are to seek My face."
Lord
, I will seek Your face.(n)
9 Do not hide Your face from me;(o)
do not turn Your servant away in anger.(p)
You have been my helper;(q)
do not leave me or abandon me,
God of my salvation.
10 Even if my father and mother abandon me,
the
Lord
cares for me.(r)
11 Because of my adversaries,
show me Your way,
Lord
,
and lead me on a level path.(s)
12 Do not give me over to the will of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing violence.(t)
13 I am certain that I will see the
Lord
's goodness
in the land of the living.(u)
14 Wait for the
Lord
;
be strong[b] and courageous.(v)
Wait for the
Lord
.(w)
Psalm 28
My Strength
Davidic.
1
Lord
, I call to You;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.(a)
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.(b)
2 Listen to the sound of my pleading
when I cry to You for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your holy sanctuary.(c)
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.(d)
4 Repay them according to what they have done—
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve.(e)
5 Because they do not consider
what the
Lord
has done
or the work of His hands,
He will tear them down and not rebuild them.(f)
6 May the
Lord
be praised,
for He has heard the sound of my pleading.(g)
7 The
Lord
is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.(h)
Therefore my heart rejoices,
and I praise Him with my song.(i)
8 The
Lord
is the strength of His people;[a]
He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.(j)
9 Save Your people, bless Your possession,
shepherd them, and carry them forever.(k)
Psalm 29
The Voice of the Lord
A Davidic psalm.
1 Ascribe to Yahweh, you heavenly beings,[a]
ascribe to the
Lord
glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due His name;
worship Yahweh
in the splendor of His holiness.[b](a)
3 The voice of the
Lord
is above the waters.
The God of glory thunders—
the
Lord
, above vast waters,(b)
4 the voice of the
Lord
in power,
the voice of the
Lord
in splendor.(c)
5 The voice of the
Lord
breaks the cedars;
the
Lord
shatters the cedars of Lebanon.(d)
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,(e)
and Sirion,[c] like a young wild ox.(f)
7 The voice of the
Lord
flashes flames of fire.(g)
8 The voice of the
Lord
shakes the wilderness;
the
Lord
shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.(h)
9 The voice of the
Lord
makes the deer give birth[d](i)
and strips the woodlands bare.(j)
In His temple all cry, "Glory!"
10 The
Lord
sat enthroned at the flood;
the
Lord
sits enthroned, King forever.(k)
11 The
Lord
gives His people strength;(l)
the
Lord
blesses His people with peace.(m)
John 11:1-29
Chapter 11
Lazarus Dies at Bethany
1 Now a man was sick, Lazarus, from Bethany,(a) the village of Mary and her sister Martha.(b) 2 Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair,(c) and it was her brother Lazarus who was sick. 3 So the sisters sent a message to Him: "Lord, the one You love is sick."
4 When Jesus heard it, He said, "This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God,(d) so that the Son of God(e) may be glorified through it." 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. 6 So when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was. 7 Then after that, He said to the disciples, "Let's go to Judea(f) again."
8 "Rabbi,"(g) the disciples told Him, "just now the Jews tried to stone You,(h) and You're going there again?"
9 "Aren't there 12 hours in a day?" Jesus answered. "If anyone walks during the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.(i) 10 If anyone walks during the night,(j) he does stumble, because the light is not in him." 11 He said this, and then He told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep,(k) but I'm on My way to wake him up."
12 Then the disciples said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."
13 Jesus, however, was speaking about his death, but they thought He was speaking about natural sleep. 14 So Jesus then told them plainly, "Lazarus has died. 15 I'm glad for you that I wasn't there so that you may believe. But let's go to him."
16 Then Thomas(l) (called "Twin") said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go so that we may die with Him."
The Resurrection and the Life
17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb(m) four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem(n) (about two miles[a] away). 19 Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother. 20 As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him. But Mary remained seated in the house.
21 Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn't have died. 22 Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You."
23 "Your brother will rise(o) again," Jesus told her.
24 Martha said, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."(p)
25 Jesus said to her, "I am(q) the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me,(r) even if he dies, will live.(s) 26 Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die—ever.(t) Do you believe this?"
27 "Yes, Lord," she told Him, "I believe You are the Messiah,(u) the Son(v) of God, who comes into the world."(w)
Jesus Shares the Sorrow of Death
28 Having said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, saying in private, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."
29 As soon as she heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.(x)
