About this plan

Move through the whole of Scripture in a year — the Old Testament in order, the New Testament alongside it, and a Psalm each day. One day at a time, at your own pace.

Duration

365 days · Sequential reading plan

Reading structure

• Old Testament in canonical order (Psalms excluded from the OT stream)
• New Testament alongside it, Matthew through Revelation
• One Psalm each day, cycling through Psalms 1–150
• One day at a time, at your own pace

Your first week

Most days have three short readings: an Old Testament passage, a New Testament chapter, and one Psalm. The New Testament pauses on a few days so that both testaments finish together on Day 365. Here is exactly what the first seven days look like.

• Day 1 — Genesis 1–2 · Matthew 1 · Psalm 1
• Day 2 — Genesis 3–4 · Psalm 2
• Day 3 — Genesis 5–6 · Matthew 2 · Psalm 3
• Day 4 — Genesis 7–9 · Matthew 3 · Psalm 4
• Day 5 — Genesis 10–11 · Matthew 4 · Psalm 5
• Day 6 — Genesis 12–13 · Psalm 6
• Day 7 — Genesis 14–15 · Matthew 5 · Psalm 7
