Even though he was just a small boy, Keldon Eichberg had a big effect on all those around him. In this week's Community Spotlight, we show you how the impact of a little boy has brought a community together. In the small, peaceful town of La Porte, a common sound in the summer is the sound of crickets. But Sunday afternoon, that sound was replaced by the roar and rumbling of motorcycles. This ride began because of a special little boy who at the age of five was diagnosed with brain cancer. After two years of keeping a smile on his face, Keldon ended his fight. But our story doesn't end there. Keldon inspired a community to come together and his uncle, who never imagined of stepping up and putting together events, like this ride titled, Keldon's Legacy. When Keldon was diagnosed, I knew I wanted to do something so that's when I started the first one. And I've, I guess I've surprised a lot of people with as much as I've pulled together and made things happen because I was never known as that person. In the eyes of his family and relatives, Keldon continues to live on through the kindness of giving and community spirit. Proceeds raised from Keldon's Legacy ride will continue Keldon's kindness by helping out families that are going through similar struggles. The money that we raise is going to go to either a family in need that is in the same situation that Keldon and his family was in or and or partially to brain cancer awareness. One thing is certain, Keldon at such a young age was able to accomplish so much. Uniting a community and bringing them together. He always had a smile and he always wanted to help anybody he could and that's kind of the way with doing the legacies. Even though he's not with us, he's still with us and still given. Even after the thunder of the motorcycle spade, the calm of the crickets will echo Keldon's Legacy. All right, and if you would like to contribute to Keldon's Legacy, you can do so at Bemidji's First National Bank.

My name is Ivan Cody. I'm one of the ASB coordinators here along with and I'm Natalie Fisher. I'm the other ASB coordinator All right, awesome. So let's start with the most basic question. You're gonna get what is ASB? ASB is basically spending a week fully immersed in a public interest Internship or legal experience where you can get experience for the entire week and possibly pro bono hours to go towards your graduate I mean your graduation requirement So I actually learned not too long ago that ASB up until four or five years ago was completely student run Which would be crazy considering the cost and travel and expenses that come with that So it was started right after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 a group of students decided. Hey, we got to help out This has been a horrible tragedy in our nation And so now it has grown into this large successful program that matches students to both local and national placements during the week of spring break And the program focuses on areas of the law where clients often lack adequate representation So in the ASB placements a lot of times you're going to be working like one-on-one with clients in your placement and Why is it right for you? I knew it was right for me when I was a 1L because I came straight from undergrad And had no legal experience whatsoever. So I said, okay I got to go and do this because I don't know what I'm doing And it's also a great way to experience new areas of the law. So let's say you're conflicted Do I do criminal defense? Do I do immigration? I'm not sure. This is a great way to test the waters and figure out What you're interested in It's also just a great way to get back to the community Oftentimes the clients are going to be like super thankful that you were here. They might even confuse you with lawyers And it's a great resume builder too Looks great All right, let's get to the every law student's worst nightmare a little bit of math so So this is a way to earn possibly your 50 pro bono hours We while we can't guarantee you'll get 50 hours This is a little breakdown about how you can possibly get to those hours So assuming that the five days a week eight hours a day That's 40 hours right there But a little disclaimer you might not be like of course like sicknesses while you're out at your placement You might not be there that day which is going to count against you or whether a couple of years ago We actually had a placement in Colorado. They got snowed in so they weren't even able to make it to the placement So I think it was like three out of the five days. They weren't even able to go there So got to keep that in mind when you're doing this program Also, there's the mandatory ASB orientation which is before the trip which would be two hours towards your pro bono hours Which you'll come we'll talk about how you're going to act on your placement We're going to give you a little coaching up, you know a little pep talk high fives all that jazz and then And then after that we also have the reflection journaling now This is an option like you don't have to do it I personally did it because I felt it helpful. We have prompts so along so along the seven days of your journey You're gonna have you can write down different things like oh How was this experience today? How is this experience the next day and that's like an hour a day That'll be counted towards your pro bono hours just writing about your experiences and if you have trouble like I don't know What to write about don't worry talk to one of us We can definitely help you out get the juices flowing in your head and then of course the last thing Which is our debriefing so after everyone comes back you get to stand in front right here Where me and Natalie are right now and explain how this trip was transformative and how it helped you and what you would change What would you not it's also helpful for the program going forward so all of that will equal about 50 hours But again, we can't guarantee the 50 hours, but we'll try our best to get you there So here's a list of a little flavoring of a couple of placements that we had last year So we have like the waterfront Commission of public defenders offices around mass as well as here in Rhode Island We also have some very interesting ones like ones out in Denver, Colorado Which is working in the African organization as well as ones in Western New York Which you go split time between Bath and Rochester, which is a very interesting and unique placement Me and Natalie, however got to go to the waterfront Commission of New York Harbor So quick question show of hands. How many people here think that the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor has to do with marine affairs and like water law and things along that nature Right, I thought the same exact thing But I couldn't be further from the truth the waterfront Commission actually deals with organized crime on the waterfront So a lot of what we did is we dealt with a lot of Depositions dealing with trying to get as many mobsters off the waterfront as possible, which I mean I thought like oh, that's just movie stuff Definitely not also while me and Natalie were there. It was actually when the Gambino crime boss Was murdered so we walked into the office unsuspectingly Depositions were canceled security breaches. It was just an entire mess, but it was a great experience so So that's my little plug-in for the waterfront Commission All right by a show of hands who has worked in the public sector before coming to law school Perfect if any of you had like super awesome experiences with your area Please come up to me afterwards if you think that they would be at all interested in hosting students or you would want Students to go there. Please let us know. We're always looking for new placements So Yeah, just come up to me about that Right now. We're trying to get an ASB placement in Chicago Possibly one at the border in Texas So if you have any ideas about where you want to go, please come up and let us know Yeah, it also helps with the whole transformation of the program with the political climate and things We try to keep our placements as current as possible with issues whether it be the hurricane Katrina when the program Initially started versus now a lot of immigration law and a lot of things along that nature is very prominent in society All right, so what is ASB gonna cost you numbers here? Local placements which include Rhode Island and southeastern mass. That's gonna be a fee of $25 placements outside of Rhode Island and southeastern mass are going to be 100 And there is going to be a stipend associated with this so Right after you pay all these program fees and when it's ASB week You are going to get approximately 200 or 300 dollars for the non-local placements You're not going to get any stipend for the local placement because we're assuming that you're going to be staying at your apartment And you're going to be able to drive to your placement and pay for the parking and whatnot So let me just don't want to make sure it's clear because this is always an issue with costs So this is a subsidized program which is great We don't make you do big sales a lot of schools the students need to generate the money But we want to make sure that those of you who are interested in traveling to a location outside of Rhode Island and southeast mass can do it Without a huge financial hardship So the way it works is like Natalie just said if you're local if you're Rhode Island or southeastern mass Obviously you're just gonna sort of pay for living like you normally would if you're going to New York City Which is a really popular spot for ASB. We do give you a stipend. It's about three hundred dollars for that week Three hundred dollars will not get you far if you're planning on staying in hotel in New York So my feeling because we have a lot of New York City placements Is that placement works well if you have somewhere to live or you have a really smart way to Airbnb with a group of law students, but you will end up paying out of pocket because that stipend just can't cover it So I like to make sure everyone understands that you need to also get yourself to New York City So any placement that's within about four hours You will get a stipend, but we're not gonna get you there You need to figure out how you're gonna get there if you're farther than farther than four hours So you're in Colorado or Texas or we're working on a placement right now possibly in Washington state The law school will arrange for airfare or in some rare case rare cases train Like we have a Delaware placement. We actually do purchase your ticket on Amtrak to get to Delaware So if you're thinking of a really far trip Not in New York City like Colorado. We will pay for your airfare and you're gonna get that stipend so again You likely will have to spend something out of pocket, but it's subsidized So that's sort of helpful. So everyone has a fee everyone has to pay you know 25 or 100 But then again if you're travel, we're trying to subsidize it and make it easier But just remember this is not a fully paid for trip Yeah, and just to put that into context I went to the waterfront of New York Harbor, which was right in Manhattan And I don't know how many people are familiar with Manhattan But a meal in Manhattan is about like 20 bucks and you're definitely not gonna get a hotel just with the $300 But luckily I went to undergrad in Manhattan So I had a friend who had an apartment just like a block away from my placement So that helped offset some of the costs. So if you're thinking about placements like New York City You really want to think about how you're gonna get to and from this placement and how you're going to pay for like meals The subway for instance and other things like that But that's something we can like talk about if you need some advice things along that nature a little coaching That's what we're here for guys. So we can definitely be more clairvoyant on that going forward All right, so how do you apply the application is going to go live December 20th 2019 Actually, I want all of you to take out your calendars and start writing this down. I'm going to give you a second Or phones it is the 21st century Okay, so that's gonna go live December 20th I encourage all of you guys to apply as early as possible one of the biggest ways that we rate applications are When we get them so the people who apply earliest have a much higher chance of getting the placement You want then people who save it to the last second You're gonna receive an email in advance With all the placement descriptions and instructions how to apply so it'll list every single placement where it is what it's about I encourage you also to do further research on the placement I haven't I went to the waterfront last year and of course we didn't know what it was about and it was a new placement last year So I was like, oh, okay. I guess we're fighting crime here. So And then you can also rank your placement profits and preferences when you apply So I think last year we got to rank up to five placements that we wanted to go and usually people get between their first and third choice Well, why we can't guarantee that we try our best to try to get you within, you know Your top three choices, but the five gives us a little leeway and don't worry. There'll be an email about that to make sure All right, so applications are due January 9th 2020 I want you guys to keep in mind that this is the first week of spring semester You're gonna be like so busy. You're gonna have homework. You're gonna have be like maybe flying back from home Taking a long train ride. So just try really hard not to save it till that last day And accepted students will be notified somewhere around January 17th, 2020 And just to touch on what Natalie was talking about before about how we Fit you with your particular placement. It's not just it's not just The priority aspect while that it carries a lot of a weight We also look at the strength and quality of your application So you're gonna be sending submitting in a resume and a personal statement So we're gonna read it and see which placement might actually fit you best We take that into Consideration as well as well as your connection with the placement like I was lucky to put it in my essay Oh, I'm I went to undergrad in New York City I know the area pretty well and that kind of helped me, you know So which situate myself into getting a New York City placement as well as the skills that are required by each placement Each placement is different whether it be very Heavy going into court and just watching how like the court plays out or whether it's sitting there writing I know for me and Natalie's placement. We were expected to write law review style Articles right from day one that way we can produce a writing sample to get ready for this Summer of our after our 1L a year So it really varies but we try to look at your skills your personal statement all these factors go together But I can't stress us enough get those applications in early it makes a difference lots of peace of mind You don't have to worry about it and you can go enjoy your little break You know after you finish your first semester whether it be like your two L or three L enjoying, you know That nice little Christmas break with the family And some other important dates to remember January 22nd, that's the date. We're gonna be looking for after you've already been notified what been accepted in your placement That's we're gonna be looking for the fees. So we're looking for those to be paid We're also looking for the commitment forms basically saying yes I intend to do ASB and I commit myself to this and you're all law students You know when you sign your little John Hancock at the bottom of paper it carries a little bit of weight Also February 5th, it's going we're gonna have a nice little coffee and Introduction session so we're gonna try to bring people in from past placements to talk about the people who are just you know New to the ASB program and don't know what to expect from their placement We're gonna try to get as many of those people here So you can like just pick the brains a little bit like luckily me and Natalie have been for the waterfront Commission So those who are placed there will be able to give you a little bit more personal feel But don't worry we'll try to get as many of the other placement people here as well so that you can get that type Of familiarity with your particular site also very important can't stress this enough this is another date I would write down February 28th. That's going to be your pre-trip orientation It is something we highly stress you cannot miss if it's something that Along the lines if you can't make that date, maybe ASB this year might not be for you now While there might be special circumstances where you might not be able to make that and you want to reach out to us That's perfectly fine, but seriously consider that date it's a very important date to get you guys started and ready to go off and We can't stress it enough how important that date is one more thing about the coffee hour on the fifth We're gonna try as hard as we can to get people from past placements But that may be a little bit difficult to do so really the importance of that coffee hour Is to meet people in who are going to the same placement as you so maybe you can Schedule maybe a carpool to get there or if you're going to Run an Airbnb together or something like that Spring break is March 9th through the 13th. So if you guys want to write that down you can So what's next you're gonna get a survey today Via email somewhere around 1 p.m. Or so I know that there are probably people who We're not able to make this meeting but want to do ASB So please if they're your friends and they weren't able to be here Just let them know to look out for that survey fill that survey out Also, you can go to the career service development center to get your resume ready So when that date comes December 20th when the application opens that is one less thing you have to worry about preparing And then also just like get ready to have fun. It's a really great experience I've been I can't stress enough how much fun we had at the waterfront. So for sure Um If you guys have any questions that you think pertain to everything that we've talked about and pertain to the group As a whole, please ask them now Write down our emails if you need those And I've and I are gonna stay back for a couple minutes if you guys have any personal specific questions about ASB that we can Help you with and also feel free to if you see us in the hallways or you like you see not like creeping around or me Very tall very easy to spot walking around the halls Feel free to just tap us on the shoulder.

We hope that we can continue We pretty much were able to place nearly every student. We try not to make this a super competitive program So it's okay if you have no connection to an organization like that's what the program's for But if we get inundated this year, you know, if we get 120 of you apply obviously it'll change things, but we have been able to meet the The desire to go on these trips So hopefully we'll do that again, but that email will have last year's brochure with an entire list of the placements the survey That's it right Lisa.

All right. Oh those is one right there This year Thanks guys. Yeah, thank you


Attention Park Hill residents. This is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information. Hi I'm technician Ron Hackett with the Denver Police Department. The sex offender registration and compliance unit at DPD is responsible for the registration monitoring and tracking of all registered sex offenders and sexually violent predators who live in the city and county of Denver. Here's a brief history of sex offender legislation in Colorado. Our state laws trickle down from federal government mandates. In 1994 we had the Jacob Wetterling Act which mandated that states would establish a sex offender list. Megan's law of 1996 said that the public would have access to those sex offender registration lists. The Pam Litchner Act of 1996 stated that some offenders might have to have lifetime registrations and the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 unified sex offender laws across a country. In Colorado the legislature has determined that sexually violent predators by definition pose a higher risk to the community at large and therefore mandated that upon their release from the Department of Corrections the community must be notified. Sex offender notification in Colorado happens in two ways. The first is passive and ongoing through the sex offender registration process which is a list maintained by local police departments. The second way is active via community notification for those offenders determined to be sexually violent predators by the courts or by the parole board. Most sex offenders in Colorado are supervised by the criminal justice system in our communities. Most sex offenders engage in crossover behavior which means they may have been arrested for one type of crime but be apt to commit another.  There is no typical sex offender but all tend to be deceptive, manipulative and secretive. 80 to 93% of sex offenses are committed by someone known to the victim. Sexual deviancy begins in mid to late adolescence. Sex offenses are not impulsive.  The community has a vested interest in helping offenders to be successfully managed in the community. Sex offenders have the same need for housing and employment as any other citizen.  There are approximately 16,500 registered sex offenders in the state of Colorado. About 65% of convicted sex offenders are placed in the community on probation. The remainder are in the Department of Corrections or Community Corrections. Offenders may be caught for one type of offense but be at a high risk to commit another type. Crime of conviction is only one indicator of risk.  The offender's residence must be verified quarterly by the Denver Police Department. The full sex offender registration list is available by calling the Denver Police Department Identification Bureau at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Convicted felons and those with multiple convictions are posted online at denvergov.org slash police.   Now, here's a look at the newest sexually violent predator living in Denver. Here's an overview of the registered sex offenders currently living in Denver. There's 2,378 total living within city limits. In Denver Police District 2, there are 395. Precinct 221 has 57 registered sex offenders. Of those, 33 have felony convictions and 24 have misdemeanor convictions. Clarence Frazier Banks III is a sexually violent predator currently living in Denver. He's 41 years old and was born on August 26, 1974.

Past charges against this offender include homicide, robbery, menacing assault, traffic offenses. Clarence Frazier Banks III has been determined a sexually violent predator after meeting the following criteria.

Criteria two, the crime must have been committed honor after July 1, 1997 and convicted honor after July 1, 1999.  The offender was convicted on May 16, 2001 for sexual assault on a child. Criteria three, the relationship to the victim was one of the following. Victim was a stranger to the offender or the offender established or promoted a relationship with the victim primarily for the purpose of sexual victimization. The victim was a 13-year-old female. The offender was not known to the victim. Criteria four, positive results are the passing of a risk assessment instrument administered by probation parole staff and a qualified treatment evaluator. Positive results include an assessment for the presence of a mental abnormality, a level of denial regarding the offense, treatment appropriateness and motivation, presence of sexual deviant interests. The offender was evaluated by the Arapaho district courts with positive results determining him to be a sexually violent predator.


Psalm 111 through 120 of the Book of the Psalms, from the Young's Literal Translation of the Bible, translated by Robert Young. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain, recording by Mark Penfold. Psalm 111 Praise ye, Jah! I thank Jehovah with a whole heart in the secret meeting of the upright and of the Great are the works of Jehovah, sought out by all, desiring them. Honorable and majestic is his work, and his righteousness is standing forever. A memorial he hath made of his wonders, gracious and merciful is Jehovah. Pray he hath given to those fearing him, he rememberth to the age his covenant, the power of his works he hath declared to his people, to give to them the inheritance of nations. The works of his hands are true and just, steadfast are all his appointments, they are sustained forever to the age, they are made in truth and uprightness. Redemption he hath sent to his people, he hath appointed to the age his covenant, holy and fearful is his name. The beginning of wisdom is fear of Jehovah, good understanding have all doing them, his praise is standing forever. Psalm 112 Praise ye, Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, in his commands he hath delighted greatly. Mighty in the earth is his seed, the generation of the upright is blessed.  Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, gracious and merciful and righteous. Good is the man, gracious and lending, he sustaineth his matters in judgment. For to the age he is not moved, for a memorial age during is the righteous. Of an evil report he is not afraid, prepared is his heart, confident in Jehovah. Sustained is his heart, he feareth not, till that he look on his adversaries. He hath scattered, hath given to the needy, his righteousness is standing forever, his horn is exalted with honor. The wicked seeeth, and hath been angry, his teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, the desire of the wicked doth perish. Psalm 113 Praise ye, Jah! Praise ye, servants of Jehovah! Praise the name of Jehovah! The name of Jehovah is blessed from henceforth and unto the age. From the rising of the sun unto its going in, praised is the name of Jehovah. High above all nations is Jehovah, above the heavens is his honor. Who is as Jehovah our God? He is exalting himself to sit. He is humbling himself to look on the heavens and on the earth. He is raising up from the dust the poor, from a dung hill he exalteth the needy. To cause to sit with princes, with the princes of his people, causing the barren one of the house to sit, a joyful mother of sons, praise ye, Jah! Psalm 114 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a strange people, Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. The sea hath seen, and fleeeth, the Jordan turneth backward. The mountains have skipped as rams, heights as sons of a flock. What to thee, O sea, that thou fleeest? Oh Jordan, thou turnest back? Oh mountains ye skip as rams, oh heights as sons of a flock. From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, from before the God of Jacob, he is turning the rock to a pool of waters, the flint to a fountain of waters. Psalm 115 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give honor, for thy kindness, for thy truth. Why do the nations say, Where pray is their God? And our God is in the heavens, all that he hath pleased, he hath done. Their idols are silver and gold, work of man's hands, a mouth they have, and they speak not, eyes they have, and they see not, ears they have, and they hear not, a nose they have, and they smell not, their hands but they handle not, their feet and they walk not, nor do they mutter through their throat. Like them are their makers, everyone who is trusting in them. O Israel, trust in Jehovah, their help and their shield is he. O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, their help and their shield is he. Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, their help and their shield is he. Jehovah hath remembered us, he blesseth, he blesseth the house of Israel, he blesseth the house of Aaron, he blesseth those fearing Jehovah, the small with the great.  Blessed are ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth, the heavens, the heavens are Jehovah's, and the earth he hath given to sons of men. The dead praise not jaw, nor any going down to silence, and we, we bless jaw, from henceforth and unto the age. Praise ye, jaw! Psalm 116 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth my voice, my supplication, because he hath inclined his ear to me, and during my days I call. Compassed me have cords of death, and straits of shield have found me, distress and sorrow I find, and in the name of Jehovah I call. I pray thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous, yea, our God is merciful. A preserver of the simple is Jehovah. I was low, and to me he giveth salvation. Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, for Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing. I walk habitually before Jehovah in the lands of the living. I have believed, for I speak, I, I have been afflicted greatly.  What do I return to Jehovah? All his benefits are upon me. The cup of salvation I lift up, and in the name of Jehovah I call. My vows to Jehovah, let me complete, I pray you, before all his people. Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death for his saints. Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am thy servant, I am thy servant, son of thy handmaid. Thou hast opened my bonds. To thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, and in the name of Jehovah I call. My vows to Jehovah, let me complete, I pray you, before all his people. In the courts of the house of Jehovah, in thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye jaw. Psalm 117. Praise Jehovah all ye nations, glorify him all ye peoples, for mighty to us hath been his kindness, and the truth of Jehovah is to the age. Praise ye jaw. Psalm 118. Give ye thanks to Jehovah for good, for to the age is his kindness. I pray you, let Israel say that to the age is his kindness. I pray you, let the house of Aaron say that to the age is his kindness. I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say that to the age is his kindness. From the straightness I called jaw, jaw answered me in a broad place. Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me. Jehovah is for me among my helpers, and I, I look on those hating me. Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man. Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in princes. All nations have compassed me about. In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. They have compassed me about. Yay, they have compassed me about. In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. They compassed me about as bees. They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns. In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, and Jehovah hath helped me. My strength and song is jaw, and he is to me for salvation. A voice of singing and salvation is in the tense of the righteous. The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly. The right hand of Jehovah is exalted. The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly. I do not die, but live, and recount the works of jaw.  Open ye to me gates of righteousness. I enter into them. I thank jaw. This is the gate to Jehovah. The righteous enter into it. I thank thee, for thou hast answered me, and art to me for salvation.  From Jehovah hath this been. It is wonderful in our eyes. This is the day Jehovah hath made. We rejoice and are glad in it. I beseech thee, O Jehovah. Save I pray thee. I beseech thee, O Jehovah. Prosper I pray thee. Blessed is he who is coming in the name of Jehovah. We blessed you from the house of Jehovah. God is Jehovah, and he giveth to us light. Direct ye the festival sacrifice with cords unto the horns of the altar. My God, thou art, and I confess thee. My God, I exalt thee. Give ye thanks to Jehovah, for good, for to the age is his kindness. Psalm 119. O the happiness of those perfect in the way, they are walking in the law of Jehovah. O the happiness of those keeping his testimonies, with the whole heart they seek him. Yea, they have not done iniquity. In his ways they have walked. Thou hast commanded us, thy precepts, to keep diligently. O that my ways were prepared to keep thy statutes, then I am not ashamed in my looking unto all thy commands. I confess thee with uprightness of heart, in my learning the judgments of thy righteousness, thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly. Beth. With what doth a young man purify his path, to observe according to thy word? With all my heart I have sopt thee, let me not err from thy commands. In my heart I have hid thy saying, that I sin not before thee. Blessed art thou, O Jehovah, teach me thy statutes. With my lips I have recounted all the judgments of thy mouth, in the way of thy testimonies I have joyed, as over all wealth. In thy precepts I meditate, and I behold attentively thy paths. In thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget thy word. Ge'man. Confer benefits on thy servant, I live, and I keep thy word. Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of thy law. A sojourner I am on earth, hide not from me thy commands. Broken hath my soul for desire unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, who are erring from thy commands. Remove from me reproach and contempt for thy testimonies I have kept. Princes also sat. Against me they spoke, thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight, the men of my counsel. Daleth. Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, quicken me according to thy word. My ways I have recounted, and thou answerest me. Teach me thy statutes. The way of thy precepts cause me to understand, and I meditate in thy wonders. My soul hath dropped from affliction. Establish me according to thy word. The way of falsehood turn aside from me, and with thy law favor me. The way of faithfulness I have chosen. Thy judgments I have compared. I have adhered to thy testimonies, O Jehovah. Put me not to shame. The way of thy commands I run. For thou dost enlarge my heart. Hey. Show me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I keep it to the end. Cause me to understand, and I keep thy law, and observe it with the whole heart. Cause me to tread in the path of thy commands, for in it I have delighted. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not unto dishonest gain. Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity. In thy way quicken thou me. Establish to thy servant thy saying, that is concerning thy fear. Remove my reproach, that I have feared, for thy judgments are good. Low, I have longed for thy precepts.  And meet me doth thy kindness, O Jehovah, thy salvation according to thy saying. And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, for I have trusted in thy word. And thou takest not utterly away from my mouth the word of truth, because for thy judgment I have hoped. And I keep thy law continually to the age and forever. And I walk habitually in a broad place for thy precepts I have sought. And I speak of thy testimonies before kings, and I am not ashamed. And I delight myself in thy commands, that I have loved. And I lift up my hands unto thy commands, that I have loved. And I do meditate on thy statutes, Zain. Remember the word to thy servant on which thou hast caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, that thy saying hath quickened me. The proud hath utterly scorned me. From thy law I hath not turned aside. I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and I comfort myself. Horror hath seized me, because of the wicked forsaking thy law. Songs have been to me thy statutes in the house of my sojournings. I have remembered in the night thy name, O Jehovah, and I do keep thy law. This hath been to me that thy precepts I have kept. Cheth. My portion is Jehovah. I have said to keep thy words. I appeased thy face with a whole heart, favor me according to thy saying. I have reckoned my ways, and turned back my feet unto thy testimonies. I have made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commands. Chords of the wicked have surrounded me. Thy law I have not forgotten. At midnight I rise to give thanks to thee for the judgments of thy righteousness. A companion I am to all who fear thee, and to those keeping thy precepts. Of thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full. Thy statutes teach thou me. Cheth. Good thou didst with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word. The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, for in thy commands I have believed. Before I am afflicted, I am airing, and now thy saying I have kept. Good thou art, and doing good, teach me thy statutes. Forged against me, falsehood have the proud. I, with the whole heart, keep thy precepts.  I, in thy law, I have delighted. Good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. Better to me is the law of thy mouth than thousands of gold and silver. Yod. Thy hands made me, and established me, caused me to understand, and I learned thy commands. Those fearing thee, see me, and rejoice, because for thy word I have hoped. I have known, O Jehovah, that righteous are thy judgments, and in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me. Let I pray thee, thy kindness be to comfort me, according to thy saying, to thy servant. Meet me to thy mercies, and I live, for thy law is my delight. Ashamed are the proud, for with falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate in thy precepts. Those fearing thee turn back to me, and those knowing thy testimonies. My heart is perfect in thy statutes, so that I am not ashamed. Cough. Consumed for thy salvation hath been my soul, for thy word I have hoped. Consumed have been mine eyes for thy word, saying, When doth it comfort me? For I have been as a bottle in smoke, thy statutes I have not forgotten. How many are the days of thy servant? When dost thou execute against my pursuers judgment? The proud have digged for me pits that are not according to thy law. All thy commands are faithfulness, with falsehood they have pursued me. Help thou me. Almost consumed me, on earth have they, and I I have not forsaken thy precepts. According to thy kindness, quicken thou me, and I keep the testimony of thy mouth. Lamed. To the age, O Jehovah, thy word is set up in the heavens. To all generations thy faithfulness, thou didst establish earth, and its standeth. According to thine ordinances they have stood this day, for the whole are thy servants. Unless thy law were my delights, than had I perished in mine affliction. To the age I forget not thy precepts, for by them thou hast quickened me. I am thine. Save thou me, for thy precepts I have sought. Thy wicked waited for me to destroy me. Thy testimonies I understand. Of all perfection I have seen and end. Broad is thy command exceedingly. Mem. Oh, how I have loved thy law, all the day it is my meditation. Then mine enemies thy command maketh me wiser, for it is before me to the age. Above all my teachers I have acted wisely, for thy testimonies are my meditation. Above elders I understand more, for thy precepts I have kept. From every evil path I restrained my feet, so that I keep thy word. From thy judgments I turned not aside, for thou, thou hast directed me. How sweet to my palette hath been thy saying, above honey to my mouth. From thy precepts I have understanding, therefore I have hated every false path. Noon. A lamp to my foot is thy word, and a light to my path. I have sworn, and I confirm it, to keep the judgments of thy righteousness. I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word. Free will offerings of my mouth, except I pray thee, O Jehovah, and thy judgments teach thou me. My soul is in my hand continually, and thy law I have not forgotten. The wicked have laid a snare for me, and from my precepts I wandered not. I have inherited thy testimonies to the age, for the joy of my heart are they. I have inclined my heart to do thy statutes, to the age, to the end. Samech. Doubting ones I have hated, and thy law I have loved. My hiding place and my shield art thou, for thy word I have hoped. Turn aside from me ye evildoers, and I keep the commands of my God. Sustain me according to thy saying, and I live, and thou puttest me not too shame because of my hope. Support thou me, and I am saved, and I look on thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down, all going astray from thy statutes, for falsehood is their deceit. Dross, thou hast caused to cease all the wicked of the earth. Therefore I have loved thy testimonies. Trembled from thy fear hath my flesh, and from thy judgments I have been afraid. Iene. I have done judgment and righteousness. Leave me not to my oppressors. Make sure thy servant for good, let not the proud oppress me. My eyes have been consumed for thy salvation, and for the saying of thy righteousness. Do with thy servant according to thy kindness, and thy statutes teach thou me. Thy servant am I. Cause me to understand, and I know thy testimonies. Time for Jehovah to work. They have made void thy law. Therefore I have loved thy commands above gold, even fine gold. Therefore all my appointments I have declared holy right. Every path of falsehood I have hated. Peh. Wonderful are thy testimonies. Therefore hath my soul kept them. The opening of thy words enlighteneth, instructing the simple. My mouth I have opened. Yea, I pant for for thy commands I have longed. Look unto me, and favor me as customary to those loving thy name. My steps establish by thy saying, and any iniquity doth not rule over me. Ransom me from the oppression of man, and I observe thy precepts. Thy face cause to shine on thy servant, and teach me thy statutes. Rivulets of waters have come down mine eyes, because they have not kept thy law. Zah day. Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments. Thou hast appointed thy testimonies righteous and exceeding faithful. Cut me off hath my zeal, for mine adversaries forgot thy words. Tried is thy saying exceedingly, and thy servant hath loved it. Small I am, and despised thy precepts I have not forgotten. Thy righteousness is righteousness to the age, and thy law is truth. Adversity and distress hath found me. Thy commands are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies is to cause me to understand, and I live koth. I have called with a whole heart. Answer me, O Jehovah, thy statutes I keep. I have called thee. Save thou me, and I do keep thy testimonies. I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry for thy word. I have hoped. My eyes have gone before the watches to meditate and thy saying. My voice here, according to thy kindness, Jehovah, according to thy judgment, quicken me. Near have been my wicked pursuers. From thy law they have been far off. Near art thou, O Jehovah, and all thy commands are truth. Of old I have known thy testimonies, that to the age thou hast founded them. Resh, see my affliction, and deliver thou me, for thy law I have not forgotten. Plead my plea, and redeem me, according to thy saying, quicken me. Far from the wicked is salvation, for thy statutes they have not sought. Thy mercies are many, O Jehovah, according to thy judgments, quicken me. Many are my pursuers and adversaries. From thy testimonies I have not turned aside. I have seen treacherous ones, and grieve myself, because thy saying they have not kept. See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, according to thy kindness, quicken me. The sum of thy word is truth, and to the ages every judgment of thy righteousness. Sheen, princes have pursued me without cause, and because of thy words was my heart afraid. I do rejoice concerning thy saying, as one finding abundant spoil. Falsehood I have hated, yea, I abominate it. Thy law I have loved. Seven times in a day I have praised thee, because of the judgments of thy righteousness. Abundant peace have those loving thy law, and they have no stumbling block. I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and thy commands I have done. Kept hath my soul thy testimonies, and I do love them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies, for all my ways are before thee. Ta, my loud cry cometh near before thee, O Jehovah, according to thy word, cause me to understand. My supplication cometh in before thee, according to thy saying, deliver thou me. My lips do utter praise, for thou dost teach me thy statutes. My tongue doth sing of thy saying, for all thy commands are righteous. Thy hand is for a help to me, for thy commands I have chosen. I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and thy law is my delight. My soul liveth, and it doth praise thee, and thy judgments to help me. I wandered as a lost sheep. Seek thy servant, for thy precepts I have not forgotten. Psalm 120 A Song of the Ascents Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, and he answereth me, O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip from a deceitful tongue. What doth he give to thee, and what doth he add to thee, O deceitful tongue? Sharp arrows of a mighty one with broom-calls. Woe to me, for I have inhabited Miesek. I have dwelt with tents of Qidar. Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace. I am peace, and when I speak, they are for war.

Recording by Mark Penfold Psalm 121 A Song of the Ascents I lift up mine eyes unto the hills. Whenst of my help come? My help is from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth. He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, thy preserver slumbereth not. Low, he slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, he who is preserving Israel. Jehovah is thy preserver, Jehovah is thy shade on thy right hand. By day the sun doth not smite thee, nor the moon by night. Jehovah preserveeth thee from all evil. He doth preserve thy soul. Jehovah preserveeth thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth even unto the age. Psalm 122 A Song of the Ascents by David I have rejoiced in those saying to me, To the house of Jehovah we go. Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem, the builded one, is as a city that is joined to itself together. For thither have tribes gone up, tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah. For there have set thrones of judgment, thrones of the house of David. Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, at rest are those loving thee. Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places. For the sake of my brethren and my companions, let me speak I pray thee. Peace be in thee. For the sake of the house of Jehovah, our God, I seek good for thee. Psalm 123 A Song of the Ascents Unto thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens. Low, as eyes of men servants, are unto the hand of their masters. As eyes of a maid servant, are unto the hand of her mistress.   Psalm 124 A Song of the Ascents Save for Jehovah, who hath been for us, let Israel say, Save for Jehovah, who hath been for us in the rising up of man against us, Then alive they had swallowed us up in the burning of their anger against us, Then the waters had overflowed us, the stream passed over our soul, Then passed over our soul had the proud waters. Blessed is Jehovah who hath not given us a prey to their teeth, Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of foulers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of Jehovah, maker of the heavens and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of the Ascents Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved, to the age it abideth. Jerusalem, mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about his people, From henceforth even unto the age, For the rod of wickedness resteth not on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands. Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, and to the upright in their hearts, As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel! Psalm 126 A Song of the Ascents In Jehovah's turning back to the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers, then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, then do they say among nations, Jehovah did great things with these, Jehovah did great things with us, we have been joyful. Turn again, O Jehovah, to our captivity as streams in the south, Those sowing in tears with singing do reap, Whoso goeth on in weepeth, bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves. Psalm 127 A Song of the Ascents By Solomon If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders labored at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman walked. Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So he giveth to his beloved one sleep. Low and inheritance of Jehovah our sons, A reward is the fruit of the womb. As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So are the sons of the young men. O the happiness of the man who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, for they speak with enemies in the gate. Psalm 128 A Song of the Ascents O the happiness of everyone fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in his ways, The labor of thy hands, thou surely eatest. Happy art thou, and good is to thee. Thy wife is as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table. Low surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah. Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion. Look then on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life, And see the sons of thy sons. Peace on Israel! Psalm 129 A Song of the Ascents Often they distressed me from my youth. Pray let Israel say, Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me. Over my back have plowers plowed, They have made long their furrows. Jehovah is righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked, Confounded and turned backward do all hating Zion. They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth. That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves, And the passers-by have not said, The blessing of Jehovah is on you, We blessed you in the name of Jehovah. Psalm 130 A Song of the Ascents From depths I have called thee Jehovah, Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications. If iniquities thou dost observe, O Lord, Who doth stand? But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayest be feared. I hoped for Jehovah, Hoped half my soul, And for his word I have waited. My soul is for the Lord, More than those watching for mourning, Watching for mourning. Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah is kindness, And abundant with him is redemption, And he doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Recording by Mark Penfold Psalm 131 A Song of the Ascents By David Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me. Have I not compared and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother, As a weaned one by me is my soul. Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth and unto the age. Psalm 132 A Song of the Ascents Remembered Jehovah for David all his afflictions, Who hath sworn to Jehovah, He hath vowed to the mighty one of Jacob, If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed, If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids slumber, Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the mighty one of Jacob. Lo, we have heard it in Ephrata, We have found it in the fields of the forest, We come into his tabernacles, We bow ourselves at his footstool, Arise, O Jehovah, to thy rest, Thou and the ark of thy strength, Thy priests do put on righteousness, And thy pious ones cry aloud, For the sake of David thy servant, Turn not back the face of thine anointed. Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it, Of the fruit of thy body I set on the throne for thee. If thy sons keep my covenant, And my testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever do sit On the throne for thee. For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired it for a seat to himself, This is my rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it. Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy with bread, And her priests I clothe with salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud, There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for mine anointed, His enemies I do clothe with shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish. Psalm 133 A song of the ascents by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant the dwelling of brethren, Even together, as the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes, As dew of hermon that cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commended the blessing, Life unto the age. Psalm 134 A song of the ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night, Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah. Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth. Psalm 135 Praise ye Jehovah, praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise ye servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God, Praise ye Jehovah, for Jehovah is good, Seeing praise to his name, for it is pleasant, For Jacob hath Jehovah chosen for himself, Israel for his peculiar treasure, For I have known that great is Jehovah, Yea, our Lord is above all gods, All that Jehovah pleased he hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places, Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain he hath made, Bringing forth wind from his treasures, Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, From man unto beast, He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, on Pharaoh and on all his servants, Who smote many nations and slew strong kings, Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Arg king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan, And he gave their land and inheritance, And inheritance to Israel his people, O Jehovah thy name is to the age, O Jehovah thy memorial to all generations, For Jehovah doth judge his people, And for his servants comforteth himself, The idols of the nations are silver and gold, Work of the hands of man, A mouth they have and they speak not, Eyes they have and they see not, Ears they have and they give not ear, Nose there is no breath in their mouth, Like them are their makers, Everyone who is trusting in them, O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah, Blessed is Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem, Praise ye John! Psalm 136 Give ye thanks to Jehovah for good, For to the age is his kindness, Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age is his kindness, Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age is his kindness, To him doing great wonders by himself alone, For to the age is his kindness, To him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age is his kindness, To him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age is his kindness, To him making great lights, For to the age is his kindness, The sun to rule by day, For to the age is his kindness, The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age is his kindness, To him smiting Egypt in their firstborn, For to the age is his kindness, And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age is his kindness, By a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, For to the age is his kindness. To him cutting the sea of stuff into parts, For to the age is his kindness, And caused Israel to pass through its midst, For to the age is his kindness, And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of stuff, For to the age is his kindness. To him leading his people in a wilderness, For to the age is his kindness. To him smiting great kings, For to the age is his kindness. Yea, he doth slay honorable kings, For to the age is his kindness. Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age is his kindness. And Ag king of Bashan, For to the age is his kindness. And he gave their land for inheritance, For to the age is his kindness. And inheritance to Israel his servant, For to the age is his kindness. Who in our loneliness hath remembered us, For to the age is his kindness. And he delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age is his kindness. Bring food to all flesh, For to the age is his kindness. Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age is his kindness. Psalm 137 By rivers of Babylon, There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion. On willows in its midst we hung our harps, For there our captors asked us the words Of a song and our spoilers joy, Sing ye to us of a song of Zion. How do we sing the song of Jehovah on the land of a stranger? If I forgot thee, O Jerusalem, My right hand forgeteth, My tongue doth cleave to my pallet, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember Jehovah for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, Raise, raise to its foundation, O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him Who repayeth to thee thy deed That thou hast done to us, O the happiness of him who doth seize And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock. Psalm 138 By David I confess thee with all my heart Before the gods I do praise thee, I bow myself toward thy holy temple, And I confess thy name, For thy kindness and for thy truth, For thou hast made great thy saying Above all thy name. In the day I called, When thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul with strength. O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess thee, When they have heard the sayings of thy mouth, And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great is the honor of Jehovah, For high is Jehovah, And the lowly he seeeth, And the haughty from afar he knoweth.  Jehovah, Doth, perfect for me, O Jehovah, thy kindness is to the age, The works of thy hands, let not fall. Psalm 139 To the Overseer, Asaam by David Jehovah, thou hast searched me and knowest, Thou, thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar. My path and my couch, thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted, For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, thou hast known it all.  Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it. Whither do I go from thy spirit, And whither from thy face do I flee? If I ascend the heavens, there thou art, And spread out a couch in sheil, lo, thee! I take the wings of mourning, I dwell in the uppermost part of the sea. So there thy hand doth lead me, And thy right hand doth hold me, And I say, surely darkness bruiseeth me, Then night is light to me, Also darkness hideeth not from thee, And night as day shineth, as is darkness, So is light. For thou, thou hast possessed my reigns, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly. I confess thee, because that with wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful are thy works, And my soul is knowing it well. My substance was not hid from thee, When I was made in secret, curiously wrought In the lower part of earth. Mine unformed substance thine I saw, And on thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed, and not one among them. And to me how precious have been thy thoughts, O God! How great hath been their sum! I recount them, then the sand they are more, I have waked, And I am still with thee. Dost thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then men of blood, turn aside from me, Who exchanged thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are thine enemies.  With perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me. Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me and know my thoughts, And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during. From one hundred forty, to the overseer, A psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence thou keepest me, Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble for wars, They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an atter is under their lips. Say, la, preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps. The proud hid a snare for me, And cords they spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. Say, la, I have said to Jehovah, My God, art thou here, Jehovah, The voice of my supplications, O Jehovah, my lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armor. Yet not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Say, la, the chief of my surroundings, The perverseness of their lips covereth them, They cause to fall on themselves, burning coals, Into fire he doth cast them, Into deep pits they arise not. A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence, evil, Hunteth too overflowing. I have known that Jehovah doth Execute the judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy, Only the righteous give thanks to thy name, The upright do dwell with thy presence.

My prayer is prepared, Incense before thee, The lifting up of my hands, The evening present, Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch thou over the door of my lips, Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, yea, I eat not of their pleasant things. The righteous doth beat me in kindness, And doth reprove me, Oil of the head, my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer is about their vexations. Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant. As when tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. But to thee, O Jehovah, my lord, Are mine eyes, In thee I have trusted, Make not bear my soul. Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity, The wicked fall in their nets together, Till I pass over. From 142 an instruction of David, A prayer when he is in the cave. My voice is unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice is unto Jehovah, I entreat grace, I pour forth before him my meditation, My distress before him I declare, When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then thou hast known my path, In the way in which I walk, They have hid a snare for me, Looking on the right hand and seeing, And I have none recognizing, Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul, I have cried unto the O Jehovah, I have said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living, Attend thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I, Bring forth from prison my soul To confess thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When thou conferest benefits upon me. Psalm 143, A Psalm of David, O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In thy faithfulness answer me, In thy righteousness, And enter not into judgment with thy servant, For no one living is justified before thee. For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places as the dead of old, And my spirit in me has become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate, I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all thine acts, On the work of thy hand I muse, I have spread forth my hands unto thee, My soul is as a weary land for thee. Say, la, haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Not thou thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down to the pit. Cause me to hear in the morning thy kindness, For in thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto thee I have lifted up my soul.  Psalm 144 By David Blessed is Jehovah my rock, Who is teaching my hands for war, My fingers for battle, My kind one and my bulwark, My tower and my deliverer, My shield, And in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me. Jehovah, what is man that thou knowest him? Son of man that thou esteemest him? Man to vanity hath been like, His days are as a shadow passing by. Jehovah, incline thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains and they smoke, Send forth lightning and scatter them, Send forth thine arrows and trouble them. Send forth thy hand from on high, Free me and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. O God, a new song I sing to thee, On a sultry of ten strings I sing praise to thee, Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David his servant from the sword of evil.  Because our sons are as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished the likeness of a palace, Our garners are full, Bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our outplaces, Our oxen are carrying, There is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places. O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God is Jehovah. Psalm 145 Praise by David. I exalt thee, my God, O King, And bless thy name to the age and forever. Every day do I bless thee, And praise thy name to the age and forever. Great is Jehovah, And praised greatly, And of his greatness there is no searching. Generation to generation praise if thy works, And thy mighty acts they declare. The honor, the glory of thy majesty, And the matters of thy wonders I declare. And the strength of thy fearful acts they tell, And thy greatness I recount. The memorial of the abundance of thy goodness They send forth, and thy righteousness they sing. Gracious and merciful is Jehovah, Slow to anger and great in kindness. Good is Jehovah to all, And his mercies are over all his works. Confess thee, O Jehovah, Do all thy works, and thy saints do bless thee. The honor of thy kingdom they tell, And of thy might they speak, To make known to sons of men his mighty acts, The honor of the majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, And thy dominion is in all generations. Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all unto thee do look, And thou art giving to them their food in its season, Opening thy hand and satisfying The desire of every living thing. Righteous is Jehovah in all his ways, And kind in all his works. Near is Jehovah to all those calling him, To all who call him in truth. The desire of those fearing him he doth, And their cry he heareth, and saveth them. Jehovah preserveeth all those loving him, And all the wicked he destroyeth. The praise of Jehovah my mouth speaketh, And all flesh doth bless his holy name, To the age and forever. Psalm 146 Praise ye, Ja, praise, oh my soul, Jehovah. I praise Jehovah during my life. I sing praise to my God while I exist. Trust not in princes, in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance. His spirit goeth forth. He returneth to his earth. In that day have his thoughts perished. Oh, the happiness of him who hath the God of Jacob for his help. His hope is on Jehovah, his God, Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that is in them, Who is keeping truth to the age. Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry. Jehovah is preserving the strangers. The fatherless and widow he causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, oh Zion, to generation and generation. Praise ye, Ja, Psalm 147 Praise ye, Ja, for it is good to praise our God, For pleasant, comely is praise. Building Jerusalem is Jehovah, The driven away of Israel he gathereth, Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs. Appointing the number of the stars, To all them he giveth names. Great is our Lord and abundant in power, Of his understanding there is no narration. Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth. Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp, Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up on mountains, Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call, Not in the might of the horse doth he delight, Not in the legs of a man is he pleased. Jehovah is pleased with those fearing him, With those waiting for his kindness. Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, oh Zion, For he did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons and thy midst, Who is making thy border peace, With the fat of wheat he satisfies thee, Who is sending forth his saying on earth, Very speedily doth his word run, Who is giving snow like wool, Whorefrost as ashes he scattereth, Casting forth his ice like morsels, Before his cold, who doth stand? He sendeth forth his word and melted them, He causeth his wind to blow, The waters flow, Declaring his words to Jacob, His statutes and his judgments to Israel, He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments they hath not known them. Praise ye, Jehovah! Psalm 148 Praise ye, Jehovah, Praise ye, Jehovah, from the heavens, Praise ye, him in high places, Praise ye, him all his messengers, Praise ye, him all his hosts, Praise ye, him sun and moon, Praise ye, him all stars of light, Praise ye, him heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens, They do praise the name of Jehovah, For he commanded, and they were created, And he established them forever to the age, A statute he gave, and they pass not over. Praise ye, Jehovah, from the earth, Dragons and all deeps, fire and hail, Snow and vapor whirlwind doing his word, The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree and all cedars, The wild beast and all cattle, Creeping thing and winged bird, Kings of earth and all peoples, Chiefs and all judges of earth, Young men and also maidens, Aged men with youths, They praise the name of Jehovah, For his name alone hath been set on high, His honor is above earth and heavens, And he exalted the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near him, Praise ye, Jehovah! Psalm 149 Praise ye, Jehovah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints, Israel doth rejoice in his maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king, They praise his name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to him, For Jehovah is pleased with his people, He beautifyeth the humble with salvation, Exult do saints in honor, They sing aloud on their beds, The exaltation of God is in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand, To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples, To bind their kings with chains, And their honored one with fetters of iron, To do among them the judgment written, And honor it is for all his saints, Praise ye, Jehovah! Psalm 150 Praise ye, Jehovah!  Praise ye, Jehovah! The end of Psalms 141 through 150, and the end of the Book of the Psalms from the Young's Literal Translation of the Bible, translated by Robert Young. Recording by Mark Penfold.


Hi, I am Francis at locale quality engineer in Ferrera QE and today I'm going to talk about test cloud What is test cloud test cloud offers a simple way to create the full blown virtual machines? You can use it anytime you need to test and break something during development and containers aren't enough for you You can use its command line interface or an integrated via Python API to rescripts and projects Test cloud comes with workarounds for some distributions that need them in some some modes How does it work? It's pretty simple. You ask for a virtual machine Provide the name of distribution that you want and test cloud will throw SSH connection credentials back back at you Test cloud manages entire virtual machine lifecycle It supports shortcuts for most of the popular distributions namely Federa, Federa Core OS, CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian So you don't have to keep looking for URLs For Federa, it also supports fetching the latest rohite nightly image latest successful compose which might be useful for testing and and or CI integration in your projects Of course, you can use any distribution which provides q-call image with cloud in it for cloud didn't pre-installed Apart from this test cloud also has a mechanism to inject cloud in it into distributions Which don't have installed by default. This is currently a pretty Experimental feature and it's supported only on CentOS Weigrant images which come without cloud in it included test cloud does the injection by Directly typing in commands on a serial console What's inside test cloud? Test cloud is based on libvirt or specifically its Python bindings on host side and it's using cloud in it on guest side If libguestfs is used for q-call images manipulation and it will be used for distribution detection in near future too Test cloud basically connects bunch of virtualization libraries at some secret source. It's open source of course, but let's call it secret source and Around those libraries to make them more pleasant to use and Wraps it up in nice package. Thanks to using libvirt. You can also mix and match virtual machine management between test cloud and other libvirt compatible tool like weird manager or GNOME boxes as you wish What do you find to match your use case? Now it's time for a short demo so this is the most basic command you can you can use it serves as Some demonstration it creates Instance which is in test clouds terminology virtual machine of latest federal release After any Instance creation request you can see test cloud outputs Connection details connection tips so you can just copy and paste SSH connection line and Connect to the created virtual machine now we are creating Rohite instance as you can see I'm using different binary name T70 somebody might Find it easier faster to type. So it's it's there and of course test cloud supports bash completion which you can you might find useful in management of virtual machines you you have you have created with it now we can apart from standard cloud images test cloud can create a federal coro s instance This was contributed by by a lily from our team From federal QA and now as you can see test cloud is downloading an image because I haven't Created the federal coro s with this exact image from 25 25th of July So test cloud will take care of finding right URL and downloading an image Apart from specifying shortcuts for distributions and their versions You can also provide Exact URL or even local file path to an a QCOW image test cloud will either copy or create a sim link For for you, so you can save some spaces sim linking the file Created virtual machines used to layered storage. So base image isn't changed in any way and Instead instead of changing the base image test cloud is leveraging Overlay images which contain all the changed files and changes so It can grow Really fast when when you are doing something like DNA like the net update Now we can see we have created the federal coro s instance Now this is something I'll talk a little bit later. We are using femur user session this is useful mainly in constrained environments and This is something you can check out with Help page or manual page of test cloud. We can also specify memory capacity which should be granted to the virtual machine Memory allocation happens on demand, but cleaning cleaning of freed memory inside guest isn't implemented yet And we have created Ubuntu in user session As you can see you'll be able to see Whenever you try to specify an invalid release or version test cloud will Tell you what are supported releases for a specified distribution by default It's using latest when if you don't specify version and now just sneak peak on test clouds config file can Change defaults like default password default default hostname and even type in some cloud in its scripts Which isn't part of this talk? so Let's get back a bit to quemo user sessions Situation is a bit more complicated whenever you can't use quemo system session a test cloud supports quemo user sessions and In this case we can't rely on on having permissions to create the bridged connections bridged networking For dvm so test cloud is working around this by Adding two network devices to a VM one serves as a route between guest operating system and Internet and the other one is route For SSH connection test cloud creates port forwarding from from host to to guest in In such scenarios, so you will have SSH connections on different ports port para virtual machine and Thanks to this you can run test cloud basically anywhere it runs in Containers in even unprivileged containers it runs in open-shift ports, and you can even run it on your mobile phone with androids provided that you can disable selling nooks and You need to compile lib weird a bit differently than what's Without defaults for federal but what it works there so it can run anywhere anywhere in this mode and What about API? Test cloud provides Simple and as we will be able to see in a moment Python API taking just a few lines of code to create virtual machine and On the other hand the API is is a robust and you can customize any step and any Configuration or default test clouds uses to to fit your needs and apart from that as I have mentioned Before test clouds a relies on cloud in it in in the guest systems in virtual machines So you have all the possibilities of cloud in it a Specifying a bunch bunch of stuff Specifying even custom commands to be to be run custom batch scripts to be run after after a machine machine boots up Test cloud is also leveraging cloud in it and these batch scripts to work around some some around some issues in some distributions and namely Ubuntu, which isn't using Network manager, but system D network D and we have to change some default configuration around there and Apart from that doing some fixing for rel 8 cases So this is just a quick and quick look at some really basic API example In the first line, you can see we are just importing test cloud and it's it's parts test cloud is internally divided into two basic modules image and instance image serves for operations around distribution base image and overlay storage and instance serves as Object representing something some representation of an virtual machine for LibVirt On the third line, I am using test cloud Utility to get latest Ferrera Rohite image. There are functions for Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian All of them support different parameters, but there is the code of them of these functions is pretty simple and You can take a look at it and see what are supported values or Or it will throw out an error message saying what you can specify as a version On fourth line, we are creating just an image object and then preparing an image, which means it will download Qcow from remote resource or Do a sim link if it's a local path On seventh a seventh line We are creating an instance object with Instance name, which you can use anything you want or how to generate it from have it out to generate it from names of famous people and We are passing also the image object to the instance object. Then we will prepare Prepare an instance, which does a bunch of magic in background prepares XML definition of a virtual machine for LibVirt and finally it will spawn VM which will add to LibVirt and then we can start it and Finally get its IP address. If you were using user session, you would also need to get instance port To know on which port and the instance runs. Apart from start, we can we can call some usual commands like shutdown, reboot, restart You can take a look at instance object in Python for example and you'll see all the possible functions you can call colonnets or that's to be exact Some small sneak peek into test cloud roadmap Currently test cloud supports only x86 hosts and guests I'm working on changing that and I'm planning to start with 64-bit ARM and I'll continue with any more if there is demand for other architectures This will also allow to not only how test clouds to run on 64-bit ARM, but also to create guests ARM 64-bit guests on x86 hosts, so that might be another interesting use case for test cloud if you If you would need to test some different different architecture and Containers wouldn't suffice there Again architecture is a bit of a big item here. I'm planning to Refactor test cloud code a bit which got got in Rotten state since Since it's basically unchanged from Task on this where test clouds emerged and Having plug-in architecture for distribution support would make it easy for anybody to add definition for any distribution Specific you are a shortcut parsing at workarounds if such distribution would need it and Specify some other suitable defaults if they differ from test cloud defaults The third item on the list is Another refactor and and rewriting Because distribution detection is currently handled in a pretty hecky manner Which works but is far from ideal because it's based on file name matching due to missing the biggest fs bindings on pi pi and since some of our users and Community members are using test clouds from pi pi installed from pi pi environment and to the best fs isn't there I'll take a look and work on that And that's a resolved distribution detection code would get refactored to rely on far more reliable mechanism to detect distributions via libgstfs inspect If libgstfs inspects if libgstfs Python bindings are present currently test cloud would use use them to detect if You are running real 7 or or newer and if it's in a user session and in such scenario test clouds needs to Change model of a network adapter another point here is Pretty easy fix its ability to easily specify config file on per instance basis from command line interface because currently you can change Test cloud settings file and it's applied to any instance you will create from command line interface or and it's used as a default for API unless you are changing that and This will allow you to have set of configurations and Decide and use whenever whatever configuration you need or want and the the last item here is an option to expose SSH as a socket instead of IP or IP and port pair which is what test code currently does even in in the API side and Being able to use SSH socket would possibly grant you faster SSH performance and You will be able to use it in more API friendly way than having to parse SSH port and IP address I would be glad if you have any ideas or if you Hit any shoes now. I wouldn't be glad if you hit any issues But in case you do please report them on our test cloud the repository You can find it on this URL or you can ping me on email that's mentioned in the bottom of the presentation and Now it's time for your questions
