52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Psalms 39

1

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.

2

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

3

My heart burned within me; the fire was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,

4

Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.

5

Behold, thou hast made my days [as] hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, [even] the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.

6

Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.

7

And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.

8

Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.

9

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for *thou* hast done [it].

10

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.

11

When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. Selah.

12

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

13

Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.

Psalms 40

1

{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} I waited patiently for Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2

And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:

3

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, praise unto our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall confide in Jehovah.

4

Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.

5

Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak [them], they are more than can be numbered.

6

Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;

7

Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me --

8

To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.

9

I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, *thou* knowest.

10

I have not hidden thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11

Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.

13

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help.

14

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

15

Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha!

16

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!

17

But I am afflicted and needy: the Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help and my deliverer: my God, make no delay.

Psalms 41

1

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

2

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3

Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

4

As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5

Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?

6

And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

7

All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.

8

A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

9

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

10

But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11

By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12

But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

13

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.
