Psalm 51

51  Have mercy on me,[ a ] O God,     according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy     blot out my transgressions. 2  Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,     and cleanse me from my sin! 3  For I know my transgressions,     and my sin is ever before me. 4  Against you, you only, have I sinned     and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words     and blameless in your judgment. 5  Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,     and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6  Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,     and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. 7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;     wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8  Let me hear joy and gladness;     let the...

Note on 1Thessalonians

1:  10  and  to wait for his Son  from heaven,  whom he raised from the dead, Jesus  who delivers us from  the wrath to come.

Psalm 73

  73  Truly God is good to Israel,     to those who are pure in heart. Link to Romans 9:6-8 2  But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,     my steps had nearly slipped. 3  For I was envious of the arrogant     when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4  For they have no pangs until death;     their bodies are fat and sleek. 5  They are not in trouble as others are;     they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. 6  Therefore pride is their necklace;     violence covers them as a garment. 7  Their eyes swell out through fatness;     their hearts overflow with follies. 8  They scoff and speak with malice;     loftily they threaten oppression. 9  They set their mouths against the heavens,     and their tongue struts through the earth. 10  Therefore his...
