The Daily Offerings
1 The Lord spoke to Moses and said, 2 “Address the Israelites and give them these instructions: ‘Be careful to observe the schedule of presenting my offering and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, which is a sweet aroma to me.’
3 Tell them, ‘This is the offering made by fire which you shall present to the Lord: two lambs, one year old and without defect, each day as a continual burnt offering. 4 You shall offer one lamb in the morning and the other lamb at evening, 5 with one half gallon of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with two pints of pure olive oil.
6 This is a continual burnt offering which was ordained in Mount Sinai to be a sweet aroma, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord. 7 In the holy sanctuary, you must have two pints per lamb of the strong wine poured out to the Lord as a drink offering. 8 And the other lamb, you shall offer at evening: the same grain offering and drink offering as the morning. It is an offering made by fire, as a sweet aroma to the Lord.

Psalm 62
Waiting on God
For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.
1 My soul rests in God alone.
My salvation is from him.
2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.
I will never be greatly shaken.
3 How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down,
like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4 They fully intend
to throw him down from his lofty place.
They delight in lies.
They bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly.
Selah.
5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
for my expectation is from him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor is with God.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your heart before him.
God is a refuge for us.
Selah.
9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath,
and men of high degree are a lie.
In the balances they will go up.
They are together lighter than a breath.
10 Do not trust in oppression.
Do not become worthless in robbery.
If riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11 The Lord has spoken once;
twice I have heard this,
that power belongs to the Lord.
12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work.
Proverbs 11:18-19
18 Wicked people earn deceitful wages,
but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19 He who is truly righteous gets life.
He who pursues evil gets death.
