Psalms
101-104
Psa
101:1 I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I
will sing praises.
Psa
101:2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come
to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
Psa
101:3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of
faithless men. They will not cling to me.
Psa
101:4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to
do with evil.
Psa
101:5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't
tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
Psa
101:6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may
dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
Psa
101:7 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who
speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.
Psa
101:8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land;
to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh's city.
Psa
102:1 Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.
Psa
102:2 Don't hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn
your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
Psa
102:3 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a
firebrand.
Psa
102:4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to
eat my bread.
Psa
102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my
skin.
Psa
102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl
of the waste places.
Psa
102:7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the
housetop.
Psa
102:8 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my
name as a curse.
Psa
102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with
tears,
Psa
102:10 Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have
taken me up, and thrown me away.
Psa
102:11 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
Psa
102:12 But you, Yahweh, will abide forever; your renown endures to
all generations.
Psa
102:13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have
pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
Psa
102:14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity
on her dust.
Psa
102:15 So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; all the kings of
the earth your glory.
Psa
102:16 For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
Psa
102:17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not
despised their prayer.
Psa
102:18 This will be written for the generation to come. A people
which will be created will praise Yah.
Psa
102:19 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From
heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;
Psa
102:20 to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are
condemned to death;
Psa
102:21 that men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, and his
praise in Jerusalem;
Psa
102:22 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to
serve Yahweh.
Psa
102:23 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my
days.
Psa
102:24 I said, "My God, don't take me away in the midst of my
days. Your years are throughout all generations.
Psa
102:25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are
the work of your hands.
Psa
102:26 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will
wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they
will be changed.
Psa
102:27 But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
Psa
102:28 The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will
be established before you."
Psa
103:1 Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy
name!
Psa
103:2 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits;
Psa
103:3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
Psa
103:4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with
loving kindness and tender mercies;
Psa
103:5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth
is renewed like the eagle's.
Psa
103:6 Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are
oppressed.
Psa
103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of
Israel.
Psa
103:8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant
in loving kindness.
Psa
103:9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
Psa
103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us
for our iniquities.
Psa
103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his
loving kindness toward those who fear him.
Psa
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed
our transgressions from us.
Psa
103:13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has
compassion on those who fear him.
Psa
103:14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
Psa
103:15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the
field, so he flourishes.
Psa
103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place
remembers it no more.
Psa
103:17 But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to
everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's
children;
Psa
103:18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey
his precepts.
Psa
103:19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom
rules over all.
Psa
103:20 Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength,
who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Psa
103:21 Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his,
who do his pleasure.
Psa
103:22 Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his
dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
Psa
104:1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You
are clothed with honor and majesty.
Psa
104:2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches
out the heavens like a curtain.
Psa
104:3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the
clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
Psa
104:4 He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire.
Psa
104:5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
moved forever.
Psa
104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood
above the mountains.
Psa
104:7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they
hurried away.
Psa
104:8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which
you had assigned to them.
Psa
104:9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they
don't turn again to cover the earth.
Psa
104:10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the
mountains.
Psa
104:11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild
donkeys quench their thirst.
Psa
104:12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the
branches.
Psa
104:13 He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is
filled with the fruit of your works.
Psa
104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for
man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:
Psa
104:15 wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face
to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
Psa
104:16 Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which
he has planted;
Psa
104:17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in
the fir trees.
Psa
104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a
refuge for the rock badgers.
Psa
104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
Psa
104:20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals
of the forest prowl.
Psa
104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food
from God.
Psa
104:22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their
dens.
Psa
104:23 Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.
Psa
104:24 Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them
all. The earth is full of your riches.
Psa
104:25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable
living things, both small and large animals.
Psa
104:26 There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play
there.
Psa
104:27 These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in
due season.
Psa
104:28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are
satisfied with good.
Psa
104:29 You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their
breath: they die, and return to the dust.
Psa
104:30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the
face of the ground.
Psa
104:31 Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in
his works.
Psa
104:32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the
mountains, and they smoke.
Psa
104:33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise
to my God while I have any being.
Psa
104:34 Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in
Yahweh.
Psa
104:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be
no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!

Psalms
105-108
Psa
105:1 Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known
among the peoples.
Psa
105:2 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous
works.
Psa
105:3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh
rejoice.
Psa
105:4 Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Psa
105:5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders,
and the judgments of his mouth,
Psa
105:6 you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his
chosen ones.
Psa
105:7 He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
Psa
105:8 He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he
commanded to a thousand generations,
Psa
105:9 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
Psa
105:10 and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for
an everlasting covenant,
Psa
105:11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot
of your inheritance;"
Psa
105:12 when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and
foreigners in it.
Psa
105:13 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to
another people.
Psa
105:14 He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings
for their sakes,
Psa
105:15 "Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!"
Psa
105:16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food
supplies.
Psa
105:17 He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
Psa
105:18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in
irons,
Psa
105:19 until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh's word
proved him true.
Psa
105:20 The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and
let him go free.
Psa
105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his
possessions;
Psa
105:22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his
elders wisdom.
Psa
105:23 Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of
Ham.
Psa
105:24 He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than
their adversaries.
Psa
105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against
his servants.
Psa
105:26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
Psa
105:27 They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land
of Ham.
Psa
105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against
his words.
Psa
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
Psa
105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their
kings.
Psa
105:31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their
borders.
Psa
105:32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
Psa
105:33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered
the trees of their country.
Psa
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without
number,
Psa
105:35 ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of
their ground.
Psa
105:36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first
fruits of all their manhood.
Psa
105:37 He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one
feeble person among his tribes.
Psa
105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had
fallen on them.
Psa
105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the
night.
Psa
105:40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with
the bread of the sky.
Psa
105:41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a
river in the dry places.
Psa
105:42 For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
Psa
105:43 He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with
singing.
Psa
105:44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of
the peoples in possession,
Psa
105:45 that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws.
Praise Yah!
Psa
106:1 Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his
loving kindness endures forever.
Psa
106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all
his praise?
Psa
106:3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does
what is right at all times.
Psa
106:4 Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your
people. Visit me with your salvation,
Psa
106:5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may
rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your
inheritance.
Psa
106:6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity.
We have done wickedly.
Psa
106:7 Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt. They
didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were
rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Psa
106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might
make his mighty power known.
Psa
106:9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led
them through the depths, as through a desert.
Psa
106:10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and
redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Psa
106:11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of
them left.
Psa
106:12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
Psa
106:13 They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,
Psa
106:14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the
wasteland.
Psa
106:15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their
soul.
Psa
106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh's
saint.
Psa
106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the
company of Abiram.
Psa
106:18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the
wicked.
Psa
106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
Psa
106:20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that
eats grass.
Psa
106:21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in
Egypt,
Psa
106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the
Red Sea.
Psa
106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his
chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath,
so that he wouldn't destroy them.
Psa
106:24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn't believe his
word,
Psa
106:25 but murmured in their tents, and didn't listen to Yahweh's
voice.
Psa
106:26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in
the wilderness,
Psa
106:27 that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and
scatter them in the lands.
Psa
106:28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the
sacrifices of the dead.
Psa
106:29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague
broke in on them.
Psa
106:30 Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague
was stopped.
Psa
106:31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all
generations to come.
Psa
106:32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses
was troubled for their sakes;
Psa
106:33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke
rashly with his lips.
Psa
106:34 They didn't destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,
Psa
106:35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their
works.
Psa
106:36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
Psa
106:37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to
demons.
Psa
106:38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The
land was polluted with blood.
Psa
106:39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted
themselves in their deeds.
Psa
106:40 Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He
abhorred his inheritance.
Psa
106:41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated
them ruled over them.
Psa
106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into
subjection under their hand.
Psa
106:43 Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in
their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
Psa
106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their
cry.
Psa
106:45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according
to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Psa
106:46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them
captive.
Psa
106:47 Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations,
to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
Psa
106:48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even
to everlasting! Let all the people say, "Amen." Praise Yah!
Psa
107:1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness
endures forever.
Psa
107:2 Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from
the hand of the adversary,
Psa
107:3 And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the
west, from the north and from the south.
Psa
107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no
city to live in.
Psa
107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Psa
107:6 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered
them out of their distresses,
Psa
107:7 he led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a
city to live in.
Psa
107:8 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his
wonderful works to the children of men!
Psa
107:9 For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul
with good.
Psa
107:10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound
in affliction and iron,
Psa
107:11 because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned
the counsel of the Most High.
Psa
107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell
down, and there was none to help.
Psa
107:13 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them
out of their distresses.
Psa
107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and
broke their bonds in sunder.
Psa
107:15 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his
wonderful works to the children of men!
Psa
107:16 For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut through bars of
iron.
Psa
107:17 Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and
because of their iniquities.
Psa
107:18 Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the
gates of death.
Psa
107:19 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, he saves them out
of their distresses.
Psa
107:20 He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from
their graves.
Psa
107:21 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his
wonderful works to the children of men!
Psa
107:22 Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare
his works with singing.
Psa
107:23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in
great waters;
Psa
107:24 These see Yahweh's works, and his wonders in the deep.
Psa
107:25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up
its waves.
Psa
107:26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths.
Their soul melts away because of trouble.
Psa
107:27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and
are at their wits' end.
Psa
107:28 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them
out of their distress.
Psa
107:29 He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
Psa
107:30 Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to
their desired haven.
Psa
107:31 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his
wonderful works for the children of men!
Psa
107:32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and
praise him in the seat of the elders.
Psa
107:33 He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty
ground,
Psa
107:34 and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of
those who dwell in it.
Psa
107:35 He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into
water springs.
Psa
107:36 There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city
to live in,
Psa
107:37 sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
Psa
107:38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He
doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.
Psa
107:39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression,
trouble, and sorrow.
Psa
107:40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a
trackless waste.
Psa
107:41 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases
their families like a flock.
Psa
107:42 The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will
shut their mouths.
Psa
107:43 Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will
consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.
Psa
108:1 My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music
with my soul.
Psa
108:2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
Psa
108:3 I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will
sing praises to you among the peoples.
Psa
108:4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your
faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Psa
108:5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all
the earth.
Psa
108:6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand,
and answer us.
Psa
108:7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will
divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
Psa
108:8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet.
Judah is my scepter.
Psa
108:9 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will
shout over Philistia."
Psa
108:10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to
Edom?
Psa
108:11 Haven't you rejected us, God? You don't go forth, God, with
our armies.
Psa
108:12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
Psa
108:13 Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will
tread down our enemies.

Psalms
109-111
Psa
109:1 God of my praise, don't remain silent,
Psa
109:2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of
deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
Psa
109:3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought
against me without a cause.
Psa
109:4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in
prayer.
Psa
109:5 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Psa
109:6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right
hand.
Psa
109:7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer
be turned into sin.
Psa
109:8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
Psa
109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Psa
109:10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought
from their ruins.
Psa
109:11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder
the fruit of his labor.
Psa
109:12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, neither let
there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
Psa
109:13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let
their name be blotted out.
Psa
109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh.
Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Psa
109:15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off
the memory of them from the earth;
Psa
109:16 because he didn't remember to show kindness, but persecuted
the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
Psa
109:17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight
in blessing, and it was far from him.
Psa
109:18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It
came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
Psa
109:19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers
himself, for the belt that is always around him.
Psa
109:20 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those
who speak evil against my soul.
Psa
109:21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name's sake,
because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
Psa
109:22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
Psa
109:23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a
locust.
Psa
109:24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks
fat.
Psa
109:25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they
shake their head.
Psa
109:26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving
kindness;
Psa
109:27 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh,
have done it.
Psa
109:28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be
shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
Psa
109:29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover
themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
Psa
109:30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will
praise him among the multitude.
Psa
109:31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him
from those who judge his soul.
Psa
110:1 Yahweh says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I
make your enemies your footstool for your feet."
Psa
110:2 Yahweh will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion.
Rule in the midst of your enemies.
Psa
110:3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your
power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the
dew of your youth.
Psa
110:4 Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: "You are
a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."
Psa
110:5 The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day
of his wrath.
Psa
110:6 He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies.
He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.
Psa
110:7 He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore he will lift
up his head.
Psa
111:1 Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart,
in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
Psa
111:2 Yahweh's works are great, pondered by all those who delight in
them.
Psa
111:3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures
forever.
Psa
111:4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. Yahweh is
gracious and merciful.
Psa
111:5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers
his covenant.
Psa
111:6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them
the heritage of the nations.
Psa
111:7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts
are sure.
Psa
111:8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth
and uprightness.
Psa
111:9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his
covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!
Psa
111:10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who
do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Corinthians 5
2Co 5:1
For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we
have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in
the heavens.
2Co 5:2
For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our
habitation which is from heaven;
2Co 5:3
if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked.
2Co 5:4
For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not
that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed,
that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
2Co 5:5
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us
the down payment of the Spirit.
2Co 5:6
Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at
home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
2Co 5:7
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
2Co 5:8
We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent
from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
2Co 5:9
Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be
well pleasing to him.
2Co
5:10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ;
that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what
he has done, whether good or bad.
2Co
5:11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we
are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your
consciences.
2Co
5:12 For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as
giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have
something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
2Co
5:13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of
sober mind, it is for you.
2Co
5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus,
that one died for all, therefore all died.
2Co
5:15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to
themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
2Co
5:16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even
though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so
no more.
2Co
5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old
things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
2Co
5:18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through
Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co
5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to
himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed
to us the word of reconciliation.
2Co
5:20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God
were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled
to God.
2Co
5:21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so
that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Corinthians 6
2Co 6:1
Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of
God in vain,
2Co 6:2
for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day
of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the acceptable time.
Behold, now is the day of salvation.
2Co 6:3
We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may
not be blamed,
2Co 6:4
but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great
endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
2Co 6:5
in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in
fastings;
2Co 6:6
in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy
Spirit, in sincere love,
2Co 6:7
in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of
righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2Co 6:8
by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers,
and yet true;
2Co 6:9
as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as
punished, and not killed;
2Co
6:10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many
rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
2Co
6:11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
2Co
6:12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your
own affections.
2Co
6:13 Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open
wide.
2Co
6:14 Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship
have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with
darkness?
2Co
6:15 What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a
believer with an unbeliever?
2Co
6:16 What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a
temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in
them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my
people.
2Co
6:17 Therefore, " 'Come out from among them, and be separate,'
says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
2Co
6:18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and
daughters,' says the Lord Almighty."

Corinthians 7
2Co 7:1
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the
fear of God.
2Co 7:2
Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We
took advantage of no one.
2Co 7:3
I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are
in our hearts to die together and live together.
2Co 7:4
Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on
your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our
affliction.
2Co 7:5
For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief,
but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was
inside.
2Co 7:6
Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the
coming of Titus;
2Co 7:7
and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he
was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your
mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.
2Co 7:8
For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it,
though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry,
though just for a while.
2Co 7:9
I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made
sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you
might suffer loss by us in nothing.
2Co
7:10 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no
regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.
2Co
7:11 For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a
godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense,
indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you
demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
2Co
7:12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did
the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your
earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
2Co
7:13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced
the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has
been refreshed by you all.
2Co
7:14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was
not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our
glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
2Co
7:15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers
all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
2Co
7:16 I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning
you.
