Bible in a year: 2 Peter 1-3
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Psalm 62:5.
1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: But he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: But the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: But the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: But he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: But the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: And the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: But he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16 A fool’s wrath is presently known: But a prudent man covereth shame.
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: But a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: But the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: But to the counsellers of peace is joy.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: But the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: But they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: But the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: But a good word maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: But the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: But the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

46 “Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?
47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to Me, hears My words, and acts on them:
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built.
49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The river crashed against it, and immediately it collapsed. And the destruction of that house was great!”
