Psalms
40-42
Psa
40:1 I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my
cry.
Psa
40:2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry
clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
Psa
40:3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many
shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.
Psa
40:4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn't
respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Psa
40:5 Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have
done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared
back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than
can be numbered.
Psa
40:6 Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire. You have opened my
ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
Psa
40:7 Then I said, "Behold, I have come. It is written about me
in the book in the scroll.
Psa
40:8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my
heart."
Psa
40:9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great
assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.
Psa
40:10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have
declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed
your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
Psa
40:11 Don't withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your
loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
Psa
40:12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have
overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than
the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
Psa
40:13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
Psa
40:14 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek
after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought
to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
Psa
40:15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me,
"Aha! Aha!"
Psa
40:16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let
such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Yahweh be
exalted!"
Psa
40:17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are
my help and my deliverer. Don't delay, my God.
Psa
41:1 Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him
in the day of evil.
Psa
41:2 Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be
blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of
his enemies.
Psa
41:3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from
his bed of illness.
Psa
41:4 I said, "Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have
sinned against you."
Psa
41:5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and
his name perish?"
Psa
41:6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers
iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
Psa
41:7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the
worst for me.
Psa
41:8 "An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him.
Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."
Psa
41:9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread
with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
Psa
41:10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may
repay them.
Psa
41:11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy
doesn't triumph over me.
Psa
41:12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your
presence forever.
Psa
41:13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to
everlasting! Amen and amen.
Psa
42:1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after
you, God.
Psa
42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come
and appear before God?
Psa
42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they
continually ask me, "Where is your God?"
Psa
42:4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I
used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God, with the
voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
Psa
42:5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within
me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of
his presence.
Psa
42:6 My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember
you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill
Mizar.
Psa
42:7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your
waves and your billows have swept over me.
Psa
42:8 Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the
night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
Psa
42:9 I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why
do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
Psa
42:10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while
they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"
Psa
42:11 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within
me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my
countenance, and my God.

Corinthians 1
1Co 1:1
Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of
God, and our brother Sosthenes,
1Co 1:2
to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified
in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
1Co 1:3
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 1:4 I
always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was
given you in Christ Jesus;
1Co 1:5
that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all
knowledge;
1Co 1:6
even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
1Co 1:7
so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our
Lord Jesus Christ;
1Co 1:8
who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 1:9
God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of
his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
1Co 1:10
Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions
among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in
the same judgment.
1Co 1:11
For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those
who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.
1Co 1:12
Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul,"
"I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I
follow Christ."
1Co 1:13
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized
into the name of Paul?
1Co 1:14
I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
1Co 1:15
so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
1Co 1:16
(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don't
know whether I baptized any other.)
1Co 1:17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News--not
in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn't be made
void.
1Co 1:18
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but
to us who are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 1:19
For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I
will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."
1Co 1:20
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this
world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1Co 1:21
For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom
didn't know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness
of the preaching to save those who believe.
1Co 1:22
For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
1Co 1:23
but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and
foolishness to Greeks,
1Co 1:24
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the
power of God and the wisdom of God.
1Co 1:25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.
1Co 1:26
For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according
to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
1Co 1:27
but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to
shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world,
that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
1Co 1:28
and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are
despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing
the things that are:
1Co 1:29
that no flesh should boast before God.
1Co 1:30
But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from
God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31
that, according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast
in the Lord."
