Give Thanks to the Lord, for He Is Good

106 (A)Praise the Lord!
(B)Oh give thanks to the Lord, (C)for he is good,
    (D)for his steadfast love endures forever!
Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord,
    or declare all his praise?
Blessed are they who observe justice,
    who (E)do righteousness at all times!

(F)Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
    help me when you save them,[a]
that I may look upon the prosperity of your (G)chosen ones,
    that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
    that I may glory with your inheritance.

(H)Both we and (I)our fathers have sinned;
    we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
    did not consider your wondrous works;
they (J)did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
    but (K)rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
Yet he saved them (L)for his name's sake,
    (M)that he might make known his mighty power.
He (N)rebuked the Red Sea, and it (O)became dry,
    and he (P)led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 So he (Q)saved them from the hand of the foe
    and (R)redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11 And (S)the waters covered their adversaries;
    not one of them was left.
12 Then (T)they believed his words;
    they (U)sang his praise.

12 (A)“Awake, awake, Deborah!
    Awake, awake, break out in a song!
Arise, Barak, (B)lead away your captives,
    O son of Abinoam.
13 Then down marched the remnant of the noble;
    the people of the Lord marched down for me against the mighty.
14 From (C)Ephraim their root (D)they marched down into the valley,[a]
    following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen;
from (E)Machir marched down the commanders,
    and from Zebulun those who bear the lieutenant's[b] staff;
15 the princes of Issachar came with Deborah,
    and Issachar faithful to (F)Barak;
    into the valley they rushed at his heels.
Among the clans of Reuben
    there were great searchings of heart.
16 Why did you sit still (G)among the sheepfolds,
    to hear the whistling for the flocks?
Among the clans of Reuben
    there were great searchings of heart.
17 (H)Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan;
    (I)and Dan, why did he stay with the ships?
(J)Asher sat still (K)at the coast of the sea,
    staying by his landings.
18 (L)Zebulun is a people who risked their lives to the death;
    (M)Naphtali, too, on the heights of the field.

19 “The kings came, they fought;
    then fought the kings of Canaan,
at (N)Taanach, by the waters of (O)Megiddo;
    (P)they got no spoils of silver.
20 (Q)From heaven the stars fought,
    from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 (R)The torrent Kishon swept them away,
    the ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.
    March on, my soul, with might!

That You May Know

13 I write (A)these things to you who (B)believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 And this is (C)the confidence that we have toward him, that (D)if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and (E)God[a] will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. (F)There is sin that leads to death; (G)I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 (H)All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

18 We know that (I)everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but (J)he who was born of God (K)protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

19 We know that we are from God, and (L)the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and (M)has given us understanding, so that we may know (N)him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and (O)eternal life. 21 Little children, (P)keep yourselves from idols.
