Praise for God’s Wonderful Works
1 Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.(A)
2 Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
3 Full of honor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.(B)
4 He has gained renown by his wonderful deeds;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.(C)
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he is ever mindful of his covenant.(D)
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.(E)
8 They are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.(F)
9 He sent redemption to his people;
he has commanded his covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is his name.(G)
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it[a] have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever.(H)

15 Be careful, then, how you live,[a] not as unwise people but as wise, 16 making the most of the time, because the days are evil.(A) 17 So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.(B) 18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,(C) 19 as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to one another, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts,(D) 20 giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,(E)
