Psa
115:1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for
your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake.

Psa
115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Psa
115:5 They have mouths, but they don't speak. They have eyes, but
they don't see.
Psa
115:6 They have ears, but they don't hear. They have noses, but they
don't smell.
Psa
115:7 They have hands, but they don't feel. They have feet, but they
don't walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
Psa
115:8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who
trusts in them.
Psa
115:9 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

115:16 The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has he
given to the children of men.

Praise Yah!
Psa
116:1 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries
for mercy.
Psa
116:2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on
him as long as I live.
Psa
116:3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a
hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

deliver my soul."
Psa
116:5 Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
Psa
116:6 Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved
me.

with you.

and my feet from falling.

Yahweh.

people.

of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

call on the name of Yahweh.
Psa

people,

Jerusalem. Praise Yah!

Corinthians 9
2Co
9:1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the
service to the saints,
2Co
9:2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to
them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past.
Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
2Co
9:3 But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf
may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be
prepared,
2Co
9:4 so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of
Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you)
should be disappointed in this confident boasting.
2Co
9:5 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that
they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous
gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a
matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
2Co
9:6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly.
He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
2Co
9:7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart;
not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
2Co
9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you,
always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good
work.
2Co
9:9 As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to
the poor. His righteousness remains forever."
2Co
9:10 Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food,
supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of
your righteousness;
2Co
9:11 you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works
through us thanksgiving to God.
2Co
9:12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up
for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of
thanks to God;
2Co
9:13 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they
glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of
Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to
all;
2Co
9:14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf,
yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
2Co
9:15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
