Psalms 33:14

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.

The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.

The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life.

Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.

At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”

Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t save us today),

But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”

But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?

“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.

But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

Leave your fatherless children. I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in me.”

until Yahweh looks down, and sees from heaven.

If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”

Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’

Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.

Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.

So the nations will fear Yahweh’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.

In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”

But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.

Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says Yahweh.

Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);

A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’

I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?

All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and no one can stop his hand, or ask him, “What are you doing?”

He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
