Psalms 119:135

Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.

Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.

Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?

They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” He said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”

But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),

Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’

When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh, he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim; and he spoke to him.

So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.

Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,

Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.

Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.

God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us.

You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.

You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.

But if you will not hear it, my soul will weep in secret for your pride. My eye will weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because Yahweh’s flock has been taken captive.

For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate. The foxes walk on it.

Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again.”

I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. Yahweh, teach me your ordinances.

Deal with your servant according to your loving kindness. Teach me your statutes.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your statutes.

“Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
