The above "table" is taken from the 1611 edition of the Authorized Version of the Bible. Again, it takes one through the Psalms in a 30-day month. Of course, the Proverbs can be read once a month as well, as long as you "double up" for one day on 30-day months (in such a case, I usually read Proverbs 30 and 31, on "day 30"), because Proverbs has 31 chapters.

"Make their loins continually to shake..."
That is the verse on my mind right now, taken from Psalm 109, I believe. It is an "impreccation", which the Psalms are known for. Sometimes I think God wants us to cry out to be avenged, like the importunate widow in Luke 18. Of course, we ought to also do good to and pray for our enemies (which, by the way, David did as well). That does not mean we should shun to make our prayers authentic, however. Hey! If the martyred saints in Revelation 6 can cry out for their blood to be avenged, since when do we have to keep our anger and anguish of soul a secret. All I know is: my prayer, again, is "Make their loins continually to shake..." And, "Bow down their back always...", in Jesus' name amen. "P.S. Do have mercy on them and save them, by all means..."

"Not unto us, O LORD...
...not unto us, but unto thy name, give glory; for thy mercy and for thy truth's sake. Wherefore should they say among the heathen, "Where is their God". But our God is in the heavens - he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased." Psalm 115
This, I pray, tonight, from my heart.

I am feeble and sore broken...
I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. Psalm XXXVIII.8
Had a good "roar" lately? Personally, I don't know about "lately", but it does seem to happen every once in a while. It's pretty shocking when it happens, but what a relief! And what an even greater relief to realize it's jolly-well Scriptural! What a relief, also, to know I don't have to have it all together. After all, "feeble and sore broken" speaks to me of "having it all together in reverse"! And, folks, that would be where I am at! Good-night!
P.S. Here is a poem on "roaring": http://outsidethecamp.blogspot.com/2007/03/lion-hath-roared-see-book-of-amos-in.html

For I am poor and sorrowful, and my heart is wounded within me
Psalm 109. This verse was especially meaninful to me in South Korea. Just remember, I know, that other people can, likewise, wounded at the heart level by us as well.

"Make it plain upon tables..."
Here goes my attempt to write out Psalm 119 from memory. I agree, with God's help, to type from memory and not go back and "cheat" (i.e. go in and correct errors after I have posted). Why? To the glory of God, of course:
ALEPH
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies; and that seek him with the whole heart.
3 They also do no iniquity, they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to keep that statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgements.
8 I will keep thy statutes - Oh, forsake me not utterly.
New rules! I just realized that, though I intend to add one eight-verse section at a time, if I do it in separate posts, then it will be backwards, with "Tau" (verses "59-5g" in "duotrigesimal" - or "Base Thirty-Two", or 169-176 in "decimal", or "base ten") last, and "Aleph" (i.e. verses 1-8) first - and that would simply not do. Therefore, I will "add" one eight verse section at a time - but I will still not go back and edit an eight verse section once I had added it and posted it. So now I am on "Beth", or verses 9-"g":
BETH
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.
a With my whole heart have I sought thee - Oh, let me not wander from thy commandments!
b Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
c Blessed art thou, O LORD - teach me thy statutes.
d With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
e I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
f I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
g I will delight myself in thy statutes - I will not forget thy word.
...Alright, now it's time for...: "Gimel" - or verses "h=1¯f" to "r=1¯8" (i.e. 17-24 in decimal, or base ten):
GIMEL
h=1¯f Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live and keep thy word.
j=1¯e Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
k=1¯d I am a stranger in the earth - hide not thy commandments from me.
m=1¯c My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
n=1¯b Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
p=1¯a Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept thy testimonies.
q=1¯9 Princes also did sit and speak against me, but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
r=1¯8 Thy testimonies also are my delight - and my counselors.
...and..."Daleth" - or decimal 25-32:
DALETH
s=1¯7 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word.
t=1¯6 I have declared my ways and thou heardest me - teach me thy statutes.
v=1¯5 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts - so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
w=1¯4 My soul melteth for heaviness - strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
x=1¯3 Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me thy law, graciously.
y=1¯2 I have chosen the way of truth - thy judgments have I laid before me.
z=1¯1 I have stuck unto thy testimonies; O LORD, put me not to shame.
10 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
That concludes the portion of Psalm 119 for this evening. If I am able, I will get on a computer tomorrow, and continue with "HE", and etc...
