Chronological Plan
Read the Bible in the order that the events happened.
Today, we are reading Jeremiah 38-40; Psalm 74, 79.
| 1 | Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off forever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? |
| 2 | Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. |
| 3 | Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. |
| 4 | Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. |
| 5 | A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. |
| 6 | But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. |
| 7 | They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. |
| 8 | They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. |
| 9 | We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. |
| 10 | O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever? |
| 11 | Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. |
| 12 | For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. |
| 13 | Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters. |
| 14 | Thou didst break the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. |
| 15 | Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. |
| 16 | The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. |
| 17 | Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. |
| 18 | Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. |
| 19 | O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor forever. |
| 20 | Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. |
| 21 | O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. |
| 22 | Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. |
| 23 | Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. |
| 1 | A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. |
| 2 | The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. |
| 3 | Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. |
| 4 | We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. |
| 5 | How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry forever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? |
| 6 | Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. |
| 7 | For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. |
| 8 | O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. |
| 9 | Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. |
| 10 | Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. |
| 11 | Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; |
| 12 | And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. |
| 13 | So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations. |
