Psalm 119:97-136 Part 3 of 4 TLB

Proverbs 8:10-21 My instructions is far more valuable than silver or gold."

For the value of wisdom is far above rubies, nothing can be compared with it.

Wisdom and good judgment live together, for wisdom knows where to discover knowledge and understanding

If anyone respects and fears God, he will hate evil. For wisdom hates pride, arrogance, corruption, and deceit of every kind.

I, Wisdom, give good advice and common sense. Because of my strength, kings reign in power, and rulers make just laws.

I love all who love me. Those who search for me shall surely find me.

Unending riches, honor, justice, and righteousness are mine to distribute.

My gifts are better than the purest gold or sterling silver!

My paths are those of justice and right.

Those who love and follow me are indeed wealthy. I fill their treasuries.

Deuteronomy 33:1-7 This is the blessing Moses, the man of God, gave to the people of Israel before his death:

The Lord came to us at Mount Sinai, And dawned upon us from Mount Seir; He shone from Mount Paran, Surrounded by ten thousands of holy angels, And with flaming fire at his right hand.

How he loves his people--His holy ones are in his hands. They followed in your steps, O Lord. They have received their directions from you.

The laws I have given Are your precious possession.

The Lord became king in Jerusalem, Elected by a convocation of the leaders of the tribes!

Let Reuben live forever And may his tribe increase!"

And Moses said of Judah: "O Lord, hear the cry of Judah And unite him with Israel; Fight for him against his enemies."

Deuteronomy 33:26-27 There is none like the God of Jerusalem--He descends from the heavens In majestic splendor to help you,

The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrusts out your enemies before you; It is he who cries, 'Destroy them!'
