The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number -205 Psalms
-- 44{1} We have
heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in
their days, in the times of old. {2} How thou didst drive out the heathen
with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast
them out. {3} For they got not the land in possession by their own
sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm,
and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. {4}
Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. {5} Through
thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under
that rise up against us. {6} For I will not trust in my bow, neither
shall my sword save me. {7} But thou hast saved us from our enemies,
and hast put them to shame that hated us. {8} In God we boast all the
day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. {9} But thou hast cast
off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. {10}
Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
{11} Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered
us among the heathen. {12} Thou sellest thy people for nought, and
dost not increase thy wealth by their price. {13} Thou makest us a
reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about
us. {14} Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the
head among the people. {15} My confusion is continually before me,
and the shame of my face hath covered me, {16} For the voice of him
that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. {17}
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt
falsely in thy covenant. {18} Our heart is not turned back, neither
have our steps declined from thy way; {19} Though thou hast sore broken
us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. {20}
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange
god; {21} Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets
of the heart. {22} Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;
we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. {23} Awake, why sleepest
thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. {24} Wherefore hidest
thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? {25}
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
{26} Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
Psalms -- 45{1}
My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching
the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. {2} Thou art fairer
than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed
thee for ever. {3} Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with
thy glory and thy majesty. {4} And in thy majesty ride prosperously
because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
thee terrible things. {5} Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the
king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. {6} Thy throne,
O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
{7} Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy
God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. {8}
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces,
whereby they have made thee glad. {9} Kings' daughters were among thy
honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
{10} Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also
thine own people, and thy father's house; {11} So shall the king greatly
desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. {12} And
the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people
shall intreat thy favour. {13} The king's daughter is all glorious
within: her clothing is of wrought gold. {14} She shall be brought
unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow
her shall be brought unto thee. {15} With gladness and rejoicing shall
they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. {16} Instead
of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the
earth. {17} I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. Psalms
-- 46{1} God is
our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. {2} Therefore
will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea; {3} Though the waters thereof roar and be
troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. {4}
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy
place of the tabernacles of the most High. {5} God is in the midst
of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
{6} The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the
earth melted. {7} The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is
our refuge. Selah. {8} Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations
he hath made in the earth. {9} He maketh wars to cease unto the end
of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth
the chariot in the fire. {10} Be still, and know that I am God: I will
be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. {11}
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Acts -- 23{1}
And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived
in all good conscience before God until this day. {2} And the high
priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
{3} Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for
sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary
to the law? {4} And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high
priest? {5} Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high
priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
{6} But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other
Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the
son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
{7} And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees
and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. {8} For the Sadducees
say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees
confess both. {9} And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that
were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this
man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against
God. {10} And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain,
fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers
to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the
castle. {11} And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said,
Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must
thou bear witness also at Rome. {12} And when it was day, certain of
the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they
would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. {13} And they
were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. {14} And they
came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under
a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. {15}
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him
down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning
him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. {16} And
when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into
the castle, and told Paul. {17} Then Paul called one of the centurions
unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a
certain thing to tell him. {18} So he took him, and brought him to
the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed
me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
{19} Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside
privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? {20} And
he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul
to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more
perfectly. {21} But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait
for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath,
that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they
ready, looking for a promise from thee. {22} So the chief captain then
let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast
shewed these things to me. {23} And he called unto him two centurions,
saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore
and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; {24}
And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix
the governor. {25} And he wrote a letter after this manner: {26}
Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. {27}
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came
I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. {28}
And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him
forth into their council: {29} Whom I perceived to be accused of questions
of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
{30} And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I
sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before
thee what they had against him. Farewell. {31} Then the soldiers, as
it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
{32} On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned
to the castle: {33} Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered
the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. {34} And
when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when
he understood that he was of Cilicia; {35} I will hear thee, said he,
when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's
judgment hall.
