Psalms 94:13

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

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.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

A voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”

Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;

According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the destroyer will suddenly come on us.

So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

For they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.”

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me.

The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?

to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.

to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified.

“From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet. He has turned me back. He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.

Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.

Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.

Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!

Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;

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.

So I was left alone, and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.

“But go your way until the end; for you will rest, and will stand in your inheritance at the end of the days.”

“Come! Let’s return to Yahweh; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.

Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,

In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

“Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

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

Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.

Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.

I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”

When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.

Let a cry be heard from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden snares for my feet.

So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
