A Song of Degrees, [a.k.a. Steps.] |
Psalm 128:1-6 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
Blessed is everyone [who] fears [respects] the Lord & walks in His ways. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack [about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. |
But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat & the earth also & [the things made in there,] shall be burned up.] |
For you shall eat the labor of your hands. You shall be happy & it shall be well with you. [Revelation 22:12-15 And, [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give to every man, according to his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. |
Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers & [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever] loves [to make & tell lies.] |
Your wife shall be [like] a fruitful vine by the sides of your house. Your children [shall be] like olive plants, [around] your table. [Look,] the man [who] fears [respects] the Lord shall be blessed [like this.] |
The Lord shall bless you out of Zion & you shall see the good of Jerusalem, all the days of your life. [Yes,] you shall see your children's children & peace upon Israel. |
