(This is the first day of the count to the Feast Of First Fruit aka Pentecost which is on the fiftieth day after the first weekly Sabbath of the Feast Of Unleavened Bread. Pentecost is the anniversary of the giving of the HOLY SPIRIT to the hundred and twenty who had obeyed JESUS and gathered on that day in 30 C.E. to keep the Feast of First Fruit.)
Turn Thou From Evil
"Turn thou from evil, do what is good, Seek peace pursue it earnestly.
Upon the just are the eyes of God, His ears are open unto their cry.
But the Eternal's face is against Them that are evil, doers of wrong.
He cuts remembrance off from them, Cuts their remembrance from the earth."
"When righteous men cry, God always hears; For He delivereth them from fears.
Near unto them of a broken heart, Contrite of spirit God saveth them.
Many afflictions that we do have, Troubles there be of righteous men;
But the Eternal delivereth Out from afflictions the righteous man."
"Turn thou from evil, do what is good, Seek peace pursue it earnestly.
God keeps the bones of the righteous man, Not one of them shall broken be.
Tho' evil slay all unrighteous men, Who hates the pure shall desolate be;
But God redeemeth the soul that's His, None shall be desolate trusting Him."
Psalm 34:11 - 22
Come, you children, listen to me;
Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking deceit.
Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
