Psalm 103

Of David.

 ² Praise the LORD, O my soul,
       and forget not all his benefits-

 ³ who forgives all your sins
       and heals all your diseases,

 ⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
       and crowns you with love and compassion,

 ⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
       so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

 ⁶ The LORD works righteousness
       and justice for all the oppressed.

 ⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
       his deeds to the people of Israel:

 ⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
       slow to anger, abounding in love.

 ⁹ He will not always accuse,
       nor will he harbor his anger forever;

 ¹⁰ he does not treat us as our sins deserve
       or repay us according to our iniquities.

 ¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
       so great is his love for those who fear him;

 ¹² as far as the east is from the west,
       so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

 ¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
       so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

 ¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed,
       he remembers that we are dust.

 ¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass,
       he flourishes like a flower of the field;

 ¹⁶ the wind blows over it and it is gone,
       and its place remembers it no more.

 ¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
       the LORD's love is with those who fear him,
       and his righteousness with their children's children-

 ¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant
       and remember to obey his precepts.

 ¹⁹ The LORD has established his throne in heaven,
       and his kingdom rules over all.

 ²⁰ Praise the LORD, you his angels,
       you mighty ones who do his bidding,
       who obey his word.

 ²¹ Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,
       you his servants who do his will.

 ²² Praise the LORD, all his works
       everywhere in his dominion.
       Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Psalm 104

 ¹ Praise the LORD, O my soul.
       O LORD my God, you are very great;
       you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

 ² He wraps himself in light as with a garment;
       he stretches out the heavens like a tent

 ³ and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
       He makes the clouds his chariot
       and rides on the wings of the wind.

 ⁴ He makes winds his messengers, ^[a]
       flames of fire his servants.

 ⁵ He set the earth on its foundations;
       it can never be moved.

 ⁶ You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
       the waters stood above the mountains.

 ⁷ But at your rebuke the waters fled,
       at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;

 ⁸ they flowed over the mountains,
       they went down into the valleys,
       to the place you assigned for them.

 ⁹ You set a boundary they cannot cross;
       never again will they cover the earth.

 ¹⁰ He makes springs pour water into the ravines;
       it flows between the mountains.

 ¹¹ They give water to all the beasts of the field;
       the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

 ¹² The birds of the air nest by the waters;
       they sing among the branches.

 ¹³ He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;
       the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

 ¹⁴ He makes grass grow for the cattle,
       and plants for man to cultivate—
       bringing forth food from the earth:

 ¹⁵ wine that gladdens the heart of man,
       oil to make his face shine,
       and bread that sustains his heart.

 ¹⁶ The trees of the LORD are well watered,
       the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

 ¹⁷ There the birds make their nests;
       the stork has its home in the pine trees.

 ¹⁸ The high mountains belong to the wild goats;
       the crags are a refuge for the coneys. ^[b]

 ¹⁹ The moon marks off the seasons,
       and the sun knows when to go down.

 ²⁰ You bring darkness, it becomes night,
       and all the beasts of the forest prowl.

 ²¹ The lions roar for their prey
       and seek their food from God.

 ²² The sun rises, and they steal away;
       they return and lie down in their dens.

 ²³ Then man goes out to his work,
       to his labor until evening.

 ²⁴ How many are your works, O LORD!
       In wisdom you made them all;
       the earth is full of your creatures.

 ²⁵ There is the sea, vast and spacious,
       teeming with creatures beyond number—
       living things both large and small.

 ²⁶ There the ships go to and fro,
       and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

 ²⁷ These all look to you
       to give them their food at the proper time.

 ²⁸ When you give it to them,
       they gather it up;
       when you open your hand,
       they are satisfied with good things.

 ²⁹ When you hide your face,
       they are terrified;
       when you take away their breath,
       they die and return to the dust.

 ³⁰ When you send your Spirit,
       they are created,
       and you renew the face of the earth.

 ³¹ May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
       may the LORD rejoice in his works-

 ³² he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
       who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

 ³³ I will sing to the LORD all my life;
       I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

 ³⁴ May my meditation be pleasing to him,
       as I rejoice in the LORD.

 ³⁵ But may sinners vanish from the earth
       and the wicked be no more.
       Praise the LORD, O my soul.
       Praise the LORD. ^[c]

1 Corinthians 2

 ¹When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.^{[a] 2}For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. ³I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. ⁴My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, ⁵so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.
