Wednesday in Lent

2Verse 2. O LORD, I have heard the report of You; I stand in awe, O LORD, of Your deeds. Revive them in these years; make them known in these years. In Your wrath, remember mercy! 3Verse 3. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth. 4Verse 4. His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden. 5Verse 5. Plague went before Him, and fever followed in His steps. 6Verse 6. He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting. 7Verse 7. I saw the tents of Cushan in distress; the curtains of Midian were trembling. 8Verse 8. Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation? 9Verse 9. You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. You split the earth with rivers. 10Verse 10. The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high. 11Verse 11. Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear. 12Verse 12. You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath. 13Verse 13. You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked and stripped him from head to toe. 14Verse 14. With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak. 15Verse 15. You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.

31Verse 31. Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32Verse 32. He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33Verse 33. They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.” 34Verse 34. But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
