as a bird to your mountain!"

on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in
heart.

shall see his face.
Psa
12:1 Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail
from among the children of men.

boasts,
Psa
12:4 who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips
are our own. Who is lord over us?"
Psa

groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh; "I
will set him in safety from those who malign him."

12:6 The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a
clay furnace, purified seven times.
Psa
12:7 You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this
generation forever.

among the sons of men.

hide your face from me?
Psa
13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
Psa
13:3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes,
lest I sleep in death;
Psa
13:4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;"
Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
Psa
13:5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your
salvation.
Psa
13:6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
Psa
14:1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who
does good.
Psa
14:2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see
if there were any who did understand, who did seek after God.
Psa
14:3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt.
There is none who does good, no, not one.
Psa
14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my
people as they eat bread, and don't call on Yahweh?
Psa
14:5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of
the righteous.
Psa
14:6 You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his
refuge.
Psa
14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When
Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
Psa
15:1 Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on
your holy hill?
Psa
15:2 He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth
in his heart;
Psa
15:3 He who doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his
friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
Psa
15:4 In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who
fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't
change;
Psa
15:5 he who doesn't lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe
against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be
shaken.

Romans 9
Rom 9:1 I tell the
truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in
the Holy Spirit,
Rom 9:2 that I have
great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
Rom 9:3 For I could
wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake,
my relatives according to the flesh,
Rom 9:4 who are
Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the
giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
Rom 9:5 of whom are the
fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over
all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 9:6 But it is not
as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all
Israel, that are of Israel.
Rom 9:7 Neither,
because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In
Isaac will your seed be called."
Rom 9:8 That is, it is
not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the
children of the promise are counted as a seed.
Rom 9:9 For this is a
word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah
will have a son.
Rom 9:10 Not only so,
but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Rom 9:11 For being not
yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose
of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him
who calls,
Rom 9:12 it was said to
her, "The elder will serve the younger."
Rom 9:13 Even as it is
written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
Rom 9:14 What shall we
say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Rom 9:15 For he said to
Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I have compassion."
Rom 9:16 So then it is
not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Rom 9:17 For the
Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you
to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name
might be proclaimed in all the earth."
Rom 9:18 So then, he
has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Rom 9:19 You will say
then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands
his will?"
Rom 9:20 But indeed, O
man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him
who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"
Rom 9:21 Or hasn't the
potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a
vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
Rom 9:22 What if God,
willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with
much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
Rom 9:23 and that he
might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which
he prepared beforehand for glory,
Rom 9:24 us, whom he
also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Rom 9:25 As he says
also in Hosea, "I will call them 'my people,' which were not my
people; and her 'beloved,' who was not beloved."
Rom 9:26 "It will
be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my
people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.' "
Rom 9:27 Isaiah cries
concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are
as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
Rom 9:28 for He will
finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the LORD
will make a short work upon the earth."
Rom 9:29 As Isaiah has
said before, "Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we
would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like
Gomorrah."
Rom 9:30 What shall we
say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness,
attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Rom 9:31 but Israel,
following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of
righteousness.
Rom 9:32 Why? Because
they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law.
They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
Rom 9:33 even as it is
written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of
offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed."

the thing formed
say
to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

thing
formed
say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?

vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;

which he prepared
beforehand
for glory,

had
before prepared for glory,
and

before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us --

us,
whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the

cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of

sand
of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:

For
He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because
the LORD will make a
short
work upon the earth."

leave to us a
seed,
as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.`
Romans 9 30
What
will we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn`t follow after
righteousness, attained to
righteousness,
even the righteousness which is of faith;
What
then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow
after righteousness,
have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the
principle of faith.
What,
then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness
did
attain
to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
Romans 9 31
but
Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn`t arrive at the
law of righteousness.
But
Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to
[that] law.
and
Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness
did not
arrive;
Romans 9 32
Why?
Because they didn`t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the
law. They stumbled
over
the stumbling stone;
Wherefore?
Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works.
They have
stumbled
at the stumblingstone,
wherefore?
because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did
stumble at
the
stone of stumbling,
Romans 9 33
even
as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling
and a rock of offense. And no one
who believes in him will be put to shame."
according
as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and
rock of
offence:
and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
according
as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling
and a rock
of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be
ashamed.`
