Scripture Readings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 1<\/strong>
1 The truly happy person doesn\u2019t follow wicked advice,
doesn\u2019t stand on the road of sinners, and doesn\u2019t sit with the disrespectful.
2 Instead of doing those things, these persons love the Lord\u2019s Instruction,
and they recite God\u2019s Instruction day and night!
3 They are like a tree replanted by streams of water, which bears fruit at just the right time
and whose leaves don\u2019t fade. Whatever they do succeeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 That\u2019s not true for the wicked! They are like dust that the wind blows away.
5 And that\u2019s why the wicked will have no standing in the court of justice\u2014
neither will sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 The Lord is intimately acquainted with the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked is destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 7<\/strong>
7 I take refuge in you, Lord, my God. Save me from all who chase me!
Rescue me!
2 Otherwise, they will rip me apart, dragging me off with no chance of rescue.
3 Lord, my God, if I have done this\u2014 if my hands have done anything wrong,
4 if I have repaid a friend with evil or oppressed a foe for no reason\u2014
5 then let my enemy not only chase but catch me, trampling my life into the ground,
laying my reputation in the dirt. Selah
6 Get up, Lord; get angry! Stand up against the fury of my foes!
Wake up, my God; you command that justice be done!
7 Let the assembled peoples surround you. Rule them from on high!
8 The Lord will judge the peoples. Establish justice for me, Lord, according to my righteousness
and according to my integrity.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be over, but set the righteous firmly in place because you, the righteous God, are the one who examines hearts and minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 God is my shield; he saves those whose heart is right.
11 God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry at evil every single day.
12 If someone doesn\u2019t change their ways, God will sharpen his sword, will bend his bow,
will string an arrow.
13 God has deadly weapons in store for those who won\u2019t change; he gets his flaming arrows ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14 But look how the wicked hatch evil, conceive trouble, give birth to lies!
15 They make a pit, dig it all out, and then fall right into the hole that they\u2019ve made!
16 The trouble they cause will come back on their own heads; the violence they commit
will come down on their own skulls.
17 But I will thank the Lord for his righteousness;
I will sing praises to the name of the Lord Most High.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
