Psalm 11:1-7 In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain. 2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” 4 The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord is on His heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; His eyes examine them. 5 The Lord examines the righteous,  but the wicked, those who love violence, He hates with a passion. 6 On the wicked He will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur;a scorching wind will be their lot. 7 For the Lord is righteous, He loves justice; the upright will see His face.

Psalm 10:1-18 Why, O Lord, do You stand far away? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble? 2 In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. 3 For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord. 4 In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek Him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” 5 His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. 6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.” 7 His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity. 8 He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; 9he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net. 10 The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might. 11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten He has hidden His face, He will never see it.”
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand; forget not the afflicted. 13 Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”? 14 But You do see, for You note mischief and vexation, that You may take it into Your hands; to You the helpless commits himself; You have been the helper of the fatherless. 15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till You find none. 16 The Lord is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. 17 O Lord, You hear the desire of the afflicted; You will strengthen their heart; You will incline Your ear 18 to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

Psalm 9:1-20 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds.2 I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. 3 When my enemies turn back,   they stumble and perish before Your presence. 4For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. 5 You have rebuked the nations; You have made the wicked perish; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. 6 The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities You rooted out; the very memory of them has perished. 7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever; He has established His throne for justice, 8 and He judges the world with righteousness; He judges the peoples with uprightness. 9The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble 10 And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. 11 Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples His deeds! 12 For He who avenges blood is mindful of them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.13 Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O You who lift me up from the gates of death, 14 that I may recount all Your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. 15 The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. 16 The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Selah 17 The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. 19 Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before You! 20 Put them in fear, O Lord! Let the nations know that they are but men!

Amen. 22 I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. 23 You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. 24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints.

Hebrews 13:7-17 7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through His own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.15 Through Him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge His name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. 17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Hebrews 13:1-6 “Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper;  I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
