PSALM 5. - PSALM 5.

Saturday 18 April 2015.  

WORD OF THE DAY:

[John3:8]

The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from, and where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. 

PSALM 5.

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

1. English - (BBE Version)

[Psalm 5:1b-12]

1b. Give ear to my words, O Lord; give thought to my heart-searchings. 

2. Let the voice of my cry come to You, my King and my God; for to You I will make my prayer. 

3. My voice will come to You in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I send my prayer to You, and keep watch. 

4. For You are not a God Who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with You. 

5. The sons of pride have no place before You; You are a hater of all workers of evil. 

6. You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord. 

7. But as for me, I will come into Your house, in the full measure of Your mercy; and in Your fear I will give worship, turning my eyes to Your holy Temple. 

8. Be my guide, O Lord, in the ways of my righteousness, because of those who are against me; make Your way straight before my face. 

9. For no faith may be put in their words; their inner part is nothing but evil; their throat is like an open place of the dead; smooth are the words of their tongues. 

10. Send them to destruction, O Lord; let their evil designs be the cause of their fall; let them be forced out by all their sins; because they have gone against Your authority. (They have rebelled against You.)

11. But let all those who put their faith in You be glad with cries of joy at all times, and let all tho lovers of Your Name be glad in You. 

12. For You Lord, will bless the (uncompromisingly) righteous, (him who is upright and in right standing with You); as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill, (pleasure and favour.)

WOORD VAN DIE DAG: 

[Johannes 3:8]

Die wind waai waar hy wil, en jy hoor sy geluid, maar jy weet nie vanwaar hy kom en waarheen hy gaan nie. So is elkeen van ons wat uit die Gees gebore is. 

PSALM 5.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afikaanse Vertaling)

[Psalm 5:2-13]

2. O Here, luister na my woorde, let op my versugting. 

3. Gee ag op die stem van my hulpgeroep, my koning en my God, want tot U bid ek. 

4. In die môre Here, sal U my stem hoor; in die môre sal ek dit aan U voorlê en afwag. 

5. Want U is nie 'n God wat 'n behae het in goddeloosheid nIe; die kwaaddoener sal by U nie vertoef nie. 

6. Die onsinniges sal voor oë nie standhou nie; U haat al die werkers van ongeregtigheid. 

7. U sal die leuensprekers laat omkom; van die man van en bedrog, het die Here 'n afsku. 

8. Maar ek, deur die grootheid van U goedertierenheid mag ek in U huis ingaan, my buig na U heilige tempel, in U vrees. 

9. Here, lei my in U geregtigheid om my vyande ontwil; maak U weg voor my reg. 

10. Want in hulle mond is niks betroubaars nie; hulle binneste bring onheil; hulle keel is 'n oop graf; hulle maak hulle tong glad. 

11. Verklaar hulle skuldig, O God! Laat hulle val deur hul planne; dryf hulle weg oor die menigte van hul oortredinge. Want hulle is wederstrewig teen U. 

12. Maar laat húlle almal bly wees wat by U skuil; laat hulle vir ewig jubel, en beskut U hulle; en laat in U juig die wat U Naam liefhet. 

13. Want U seën die regverdige, O Here, U omring hom met welbehae soos met 'n skild.

Friday 17 April 2015.  

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Psalm 4:1b-8]

1b. Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer. 

2. O sons of men, how long will you go on, turning my glory into shame? How long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah)

3. See how the Lord Has made great His mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry. 

4. Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts, and be silent. (Selah.)

5. Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord. 

6. There are numbers who say: "Who will do us any good? The light of His face Has gone from us."

7. Lord, You have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Psalm 4:2-9]

2. As en roep, verhoor my, O God van my geregtigheid! In benoudheid het U vir my ruimte gemaak; wees my genadig, en verhoor my gebed!

3. O manne, tot hoe lank sal my eer tot skande wees? Hoe lank sal julle die nietigheid liefhê, die leuen soek?

4. Weet tog dat die Here vir Hom 'n gunsgenoot afgesonder het; die Here hoor as ek Hom aanroep!

5. Sidder, en moenie sondig nie; spreek in julle hart op julle bed, en wees stil. Sela. 

6. Offer offerandes van geregtigheid, en vertrou op die Here. 

7. Baie sê: "Wie sal ons die goeie laat sien? Verhef oor ons die lig van U aangesig, O Here!"

8. Groter vreugde het U in my hart gegee as wanneer hulle koring en hulle mos oorvloedig is. 

9. Ek wil in vrede gaan lê en meteens aan die slaap raak, want U O Here alleen, laat my in veiligheid woon.

PSALM 1. - PSALM 1.

Woensdag 15 April 2015. 

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

PSALM 1.

[Psalm 1:1-6]

1. Welgeluksalig is die man wat nie wandel in die raad van die goddelose en nie staan op die weg van die sondaars, en nie sit in die kring van die spotters nie;

2. Maar sy behae is in die wet van die Here, en hy oordink Sy wet dag en nag. 

3. En hy sal wees soos 'n boom wat geplant is by waterstrome, wat sy vrugte gee op sy tyd, en waarvan die blare nie verwelk nie. En alles wat hy doen, voer hy voorspoedig uit. 

4. So is die goddelose mense nie, maar soos kaf wat die wind verstrooi. 

5. Daarom sal die goddelose nie bestaan in die oordeel, en die sondaars in die vergadering van die regverdiges nie. 

6. Want die Here ken die weg van die regverdiges, maar die weg van die goddelose sal vergaan. 

Wednesday 15 April 2015. 

WORD OF THE DAY

PSALM 1.

1. Happy is the man who does not go in the company of the sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord. 

2. But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on His law day and night. 

3. He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at rhe right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings. 

4. The evil-doers are not so; but like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away. 

5. For this cause there will be no mercy for the sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright.  

6. Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS. / GAAN DAN HEEN, MAAK DISSIPELS VAN AL DIE NASIES.

Saturday 11 April 2015. 

WORD OF THE DAY:

[John 12:24]

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless an ear of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it produces much grain."

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES  OF ALL NATIONS:

1. English - (New King James Version)

[Matthew 28:16-20]

16. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 

17. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.  

18. Then Jesus came and spoke to them saying: "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

19. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20. "Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I Am with you always, even to the end of the age" 

[Mark 16:14-20]

14. Afterward He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 

15. And He said to them: "Go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16. "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 

17. "And these signs will follow those who  believe: In My Name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues.  

18. "They will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. "

19. So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 

20. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the Word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

GAAN DAN HEEN, MAAK DISSIPELS VAN AL DIE NASIES: 

[Matthéüs 28:16-20]

16. En die elf dissipels het na Galiléa gegaan, na die berg waar Jesus hulle bestel het. 

17. En toe hulle Hom sien, het hulle Hom aanbid; maar sommige het getwyfel. 

18. En Jesus het nader gekom en met hulle gespreek en gesê: "Aan My is gegee alle mag in die hemel en op die aarde. 

19. "Gaan dan heen, maak dissipels van al die nasies, en doop hulle in die Naam van die Vader en die Seun en die Heilige Gees; en leer hulle om alles te onderhou wat Ek julle beveel het. 

20. "En kyk, Ek is met julle al die dae tot aan die voleinding van die wêreld. Amen."

[Markus 16:14-20]

14. Later het Hy aan die elf self verskyn terwyl hulle aan tafel was, en Hy het hulle hul ongeloof en hardheid van hart verwyt, omdat hulle die wat Hom ná Sy opstanding gesien het, nie geglo het nie. 

15. En Hy het vir hulle gesê: "Gaan die hele wêreld in, en verkondig die evangelie aan die ganse mensdom. 

16. "Hy wat glo en hom laat doop, sal gered word; maar hy wat nie glo nie, sal veroordeel word. 

17. "En vir die wat geglo het, sal hierdie tekens volg: In My Naam sal hulle duiwels uitdryf, met nuwe tale sal hulle spreek,

18. "Slange sal hulle opneem; en as hulle iets dodeliks drink, sal dit hulle geen kwaad doen nie; op siekes sal hulle die hande lê, en hulle sal gesond word. 

19. Nadat die Here dan met hulle gespreek het, is Hy opgeneem in die hemel en het gaan sit aan die regterhand van God. 

20. Maar hulle het uitgegaan en oral gepreek, en die Here het saamgewerk en die Woord bevestig deur tekens wat daarop gevolg het. Amen.

8. And being found in appearance as a Man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death - even death on the cross. 

9. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name that is above every Name -

12. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money;

13. Telling them: "You are to say: 'His disciples came during the night and stole Him away, while we were asleep.'

14. "If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

15. So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Filippense 2:8-11]

9. Daarom het God Hom ook uitermate verhoog, en Hom 'n Naam gegee wat bo elke ander Naam is, -

10. Sodat in die Naam van Jesus sou buig elke knie van die wat in die hemel en die wat op die aarde en die wat onder die aarde is. 

11. En elke tong sou bely dat Jesus Christus die Here is, tot heerlikheid van God die Vader.

13. En gesê: "Julle moet sê: 'Sy dissipels het in die nag gekom en Hom gesteel terwyl ons aan die slaap was.'  

14. "En as dit by die goewerneur gehoor word, sal ons hom tevrede stel en maak dat julle sonder sorg is."

15. Hulle het toe die geld geneem en gedoen soos hulle geleer was. En hierdie verhaal is versprei onder die Jode, tot vandag toe.
