Psalm 100-102
New American Standard Bible

All People Exhorted to Praise God.

A Psalm for [a]Thanksgiving.

100 (A)Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
2 (B)Serve the Lord with jubilation;
(C)Come before Him with rejoicing.
3 Know that (D)the Lord [b]Himself is God;
It is He who has (E)made us, and [c]not we ourselves;
We are (F)His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter His gates (G)with [d]thanksgiving,
And His courtyards with praise.
Give thanks to Him, (H)bless His name.
5 For (I)the Lord is good;
(J)His mercy is everlasting
And His (K)faithfulness is to all generations.

The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.

A Psalm of David.

101 I will (L)sing of mercy and [e]justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will (M)carefully attend to the [f]blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the [g](N)integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no (O)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the [h]work of those who (P)fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A (Q)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly (R)slanders his neighbor, him I will [i]destroy;
I will not endure one who has a (S)haughty look and an arrogant heart.

6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a [j](T)blameless way is one who will serve me.
7 One who (U)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies (V)shall not [k]maintain his position before me.
8 (W)Every morning I will [l](X)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to (Y)eliminate from the (Z)city of the Lord all those who do injustice.

Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion.

A Prayer of the afflicted when he is weak and [m]pours out his complaint before the Lord.

102 (AA)Hear my prayer, Lord!
And let my cry for help (AB)come to You.
2 (AC)Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress;
(AD)Incline Your ear to me;
On the day when I call (AE)answer me quickly.
3 For my days (AF)have ended in smoke,
And my (AG)bones have been scorched like a hearth.
4 My heart (AH)has been struck like [n]grass and has (AI)withered,
Indeed, I (AJ)forget to eat my bread.
5 Because of the [o]loudness of my groaning
My (AK)bones [p]cling to my flesh.
6 I resemble a (AL)pelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl of the ruins.
7 I (AM)lie awake,
I have become like a solitary bird on a housetop.

8 My enemies (AN)have taunted me all day long;
Those who [q](AO)deride me [r]have used my name as a (AP)curse.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And (AQ)mixed my drink with weeping
10 (AR)Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;
For You have (AS)lifted me up and thrown me away.
11 My days are like a [s](AT)lengthened shadow,
And [t]I (AU)wither away like [u]grass.

12 But You, Lord, [v](AV)remain forever,
And Your [w](AW)name remains to all generations.
13 You will (AX)arise and have (AY)compassion on Zion;
For (AZ)it is time to be gracious to her,
For the (BA)appointed time has come.
14 Surely Your servants [x]take pleasure in her stones,
And feel pity for her dust.
15 [y]So the [z](BB)nations will fear the name of the Lord,
And (BC)all the kings of the earth, Your glory.
16 For the Lord has (BD)built up Zion;
He has (BE)appeared in His glory.
17 He has (BF)turned His attention to the prayer of the [aa]destitute
And has not despised their prayer.

18 [ab]This will be (BG)written for the (BH)generation to come,
[ac]That (BI)a people yet to be created [ad]may praise [ae]the Lord:
19 For He (BJ)looked down from His holy height;
(BK)From heaven the Lord looked [af]upon the earth,
20 To hear the (BL)groaning of the prisoner,
To (BM)set free [ag]those who were doomed to death,
21 So that people may (BN)tell of the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 When (BO)the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

23 He has broken my strength in the way;
He has (BP)shortened my days.
24 I say, “My God, (BQ)do not take me away in the middle of my days,
Your (BR)years are [ah]throughout all generations.
25 In time of old You (BS)founded the earth,
And the (BT)heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 [ai]Even they will (BU)perish, but You endure;
All of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will pass away.
27 But You are [aj](BV)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.
28 The (BW)children of Your servants will continue,
And their [ak](BX)descendants will be established before You.”

Psalm 100-102
New International Version

Psalm 100

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

1 Shout for joy(A) to the Lord, all the earth.
2     Worship the Lord(B) with gladness;
    come before him(C) with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.(D)
    It is he who made us,(E) and we are his[a];
    we are his people,(F) the sheep of his pasture.(G)

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving(H)
    and his courts(I) with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.(J)
5 For the Lord is good(K) and his love endures forever;(L)
    his faithfulness(M) continues through all generations.

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

1 I will sing of your love(N) and justice;
    to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life(O)—
    when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs(P) of my house
    with a blameless heart.
3 I will not look with approval
    on anything that is vile.(Q)

I hate what faithless people do;(R)
    I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart(S) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

5 Whoever slanders their neighbor(T) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(U) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(V)
    will minister to me.

7 No one who practices deceit
    will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
    will stand in my presence.

8 Every morning(W) I will put to silence
    all the wicked(X) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(Y)
    from the city of the Lord.(Z)

Psalm 102[b]

A prayer of an afflicted person who has grown weak and pours out a lament before the Lord.

1 Hear my prayer,(AA) Lord;
    let my cry for help(AB) come to you.
2 Do not hide your face(AC) from me
    when I am in distress.
Turn your ear(AD) to me;
    when I call, answer me quickly.

3 For my days vanish like smoke;(AE)
    my bones(AF) burn like glowing embers.
4 My heart is blighted and withered like grass;(AG)
    I forget to eat my food.(AH)
5 In my distress I groan aloud(AI)
    and am reduced to skin and bones.
6 I am like a desert owl,(AJ)
    like an owl among the ruins.
7 I lie awake;(AK) I have become
    like a bird alone(AL) on a roof.
8 All day long my enemies(AM) taunt me;(AN)
    those who rail against me use my name as a curse.(AO)
9 For I eat ashes(AP) as my food
    and mingle my drink with tears(AQ)
10 because of your great wrath,(AR)
    for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
11 My days are like the evening shadow;(AS)
    I wither(AT) away like grass.

12 But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever;(AU)
    your renown endures(AV) through all generations.(AW)
13 You will arise(AX) and have compassion(AY) on Zion,
    for it is time(AZ) to show favor(BA) to her;
    the appointed time(BB) has come.
14 For her stones are dear to your servants;
    her very dust moves them to pity.
15 The nations will fear(BC) the name of the Lord,
    all the kings(BD) of the earth will revere your glory.
16 For the Lord will rebuild Zion(BE)
    and appear in his glory.(BF)
17 He will respond to the prayer(BG) of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea.

18 Let this be written(BH) for a future generation,
    that a people not yet created(BI) may praise the Lord:
19 “The Lord looked down(BJ) from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners(BK)
    and release those condemned to death.”
21 So the name of the Lord will be declared(BL) in Zion
    and his praise(BM) in Jerusalem
22 when the peoples and the kingdoms
    assemble to worship(BN) the Lord.

23 In the course of my life[c] he broke my strength;
    he cut short my days.(BO)
24 So I said:
“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
    your years go on(BP) through all generations.
25 In the beginning(BQ) you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens(BR) are the work of your hands.(BS)
26 They will perish,(BT) but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
    and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,(BU)
    and your years will never end.(BV)
28 The children of your servants(BW) will live in your presence;
    their descendants(BX) will be established before you.”

New American Standard Bible

Appeal to Unity

1 Paul, (A)called as an apostle of Jesus Christ [a]by (B)the will of God, and our (C)brother (D)Sosthenes,

2 To (E)the church of God which is in (F)Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, [b]saints (G)by calling, with all who in every place (H)call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

3 (I)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 (J)I thank [c]my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, 5 that in everything you were (K)enriched in Him, in all (L)speech and (M)all knowledge, 6 just as (N)the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed [d]in you, 7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you eagerly (O)await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 (P)who will also [e]confirm you to the end, blameless on (Q)the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 (R)God is faithful, through whom you were (S)called into (T)fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Now (U)I urge you, (V)brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all [f]agree and that there be no [g](W)divisions among you, but that you be [h]made complete in (X)the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers and sisters, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12 Now I mean this, that (Y)each one of you is saying, “I am [i]with Paul,” [j]or “I am [k]with (Z)Apollos,” [l]or “I am [m]with [n](AA)Cephas,” [o]or “I am [p]with Christ.” 13 [q]Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you (AB)baptized [r]in the name of Paul? 14 I am thankful that I (AC)baptized none of you except (AD)Crispus and (AE)Gaius, 15 so that no one would say you were baptized [s]in my name! 16 But I did baptize the (AF)household of Stephanas also; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else. 17 (AG)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (AH)not with [t]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.

The Wisdom of God

18 For the word of the cross is (AI)foolishness to (AJ)those who [u]are perishing, but to us who [v]are being saved it is (AK)the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“(AL)I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.”

20 (AM)Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of (AN)this age? Has God not (AO)made foolish the wisdom of (AP)the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God (AQ)the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, (AR)God [w]was pleased through the (AS)foolishness of the [x]message preached to (AT)save those who believe. 22 For indeed (AU)Jews ask for [y]signs and Greeks search for wisdom; 23 but we preach [z](AV)Christ crucified, (AW)to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles (AX)foolishness, 24 but to those who are (AY)the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (AZ)the power of God and (BA)the wisdom of God. 25 For the (BB)foolishness of God is wiser than mankind, and (BC)the weakness of God is stronger than mankind.

26 For [aa]consider your (BD)calling, brothers and sisters, that there were (BE)not many wise according to [ab]the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but (BF)God has chosen the foolish things of (BG)the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of (BH)the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the [ac]insignificant things of (BI)the world and the despised God has chosen, (BJ)the things that are not, so that He may (BK)nullify the things that are, 29 so that (BL)no [ad]human may boast before God. 30 But it is [ae]due to Him that you are in (BM)Christ Jesus, who became to us (BN)wisdom from God, [af]and (BO)righteousness and (BP)sanctification, and (BQ)redemption, 31 so that, just as it is written: “(BR)Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 1
New International Version

1 Paul, called to be an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) and our brother Sosthenes,(C)

2 To the church of God(D) in Corinth,(E) to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called(F) to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name(G) of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:

3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(H)

Thanksgiving

4 I always thank my God for you(I) because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched(J) in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge(K)— 6 God thus confirming our testimony(L) about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift(M) as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.(N) 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless(O) on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.(P) 9 God is faithful,(Q) who has called you(R) into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.(S)

A Church Divided Over Leaders

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a](T) in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you,(U) but that you be perfectly united(V) in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household(W) have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”;(X) another, “I follow Apollos”;(Y) another, “I follow Cephas[b]”;(Z) still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?(AA) 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus(AB) and Gaius,(AC) 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household(AD) of Stephanas;(AE) beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize,(AF) but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom(AG) and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness(AH) to those who are perishing,(AI) but to us who are being saved(AJ) it is the power of God.(AK) 19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
    the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[c](AL)

20 Where is the wise person?(AM) Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age?(AN) Has not God made foolish(AO) the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world(AP) through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save(AQ) those who believe.(AR) 22 Jews demand signs(AS) and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified:(AT) a stumbling block(AU) to Jews and foolishness(AV) to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called,(AW) both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God(AX) and the wisdom of God.(AY) 25 For the foolishness(AZ) of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness(BA) of God is stronger than human strength.

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.(BB) Not many of you were wise(BC) by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose(BD) the foolish(BE) things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not(BF)—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him.(BG) 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus,(BH) who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,(BI) holiness(BJ) and redemption.(BK) 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[d](BL)
