Psalm 105-106
English Standard Version
Tell of All His Wondrous Works
105 (A)Oh give thanks to the Lord; (B)call upon his name;
(C)make known his deeds among the peoples!
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
(D)tell of all his wondrous works!
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4 Seek the Lord and his (E)strength;
(F)seek his presence continually!
5 Remember the (G)wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles, and (H)the judgments he uttered,
6 O offspring of (I)Abraham, his servant,
children of Jacob, his (J)chosen ones!
7 He is the Lord our God;
his (K)judgments are in all the earth.
8 He (L)remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for (M)a thousand generations,
9 (N)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his (O)sworn promise to Isaac,
10 which he confirmed to (P)Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 saying, (Q)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
as (R)your portion for an inheritance.”
12 When they were (S)few in number,
of little account, and (T)sojourners in it,
13 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
14 he (U)allowed no one to oppress them;
he (V)rebuked kings on their account,
15 saying, (W)“Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”
16 When he (X)summoned a famine on the land
and (Y)broke all supply[a] of bread,
17 he had (Z)sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who was (AA)sold as a slave.
18 His (AB)feet were hurt with fetters;
his neck was put in a collar of iron;
19 until (AC)what he had said came to pass,
the word of the Lord (AD)tested him.
20 (AE)The king sent and (AF)released him;
the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21 he (AG)made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22 to bind[b] his princes at his pleasure
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then (AH)Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob (AI)sojourned in (AJ)the land of Ham.
24 And the Lord (AK)made his people very fruitful
and made them stronger than their foes.
25 He (AL)turned their hearts to hate his people,
to (AM)deal craftily with his servants.
26 He (AN)sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, (AO)whom he had chosen.
27 (AP)They performed his signs among them
and miracles in (AQ)the land of Ham.
28 He (AR)sent darkness, and made the land dark;
they (AS)did not rebel[c] against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood
and (AT)caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in (AU)the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came (AV)swarms of flies,
(AW)and gnats throughout their country.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and fiery (AX)lightning bolts through their land.
33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,
and (AY)shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the (AZ)locusts came,
young locusts without number,
35 which devoured all the vegetation in their land
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He (BA)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
(BB)the firstfruits of all their strength.
37 Then he brought out Israel with (BC)silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38 (BD)Egypt was glad when they departed,
for (BE)dread of them had fallen upon it.
39 He (BF)spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 (BG)They asked, and he (BH)brought quail,
and gave them (BI)bread from heaven in abundance.
41 He opened the rock, and (BJ)water gushed out;
it flowed through (BK)the desert like a river.
42 For he (BL)remembered his holy promise,
and (BM)Abraham, his servant.
43 So he brought his people out with joy,
his (BN)chosen ones with (BO)singing.
44 And he (BP)gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
45 that they might (BQ)keep his statutes
and (BR)observe his laws.
(BS)Praise the Lord!
Give Thanks to the Lord, for He Is Good
106 (BT)Praise the Lord!
(BU)Oh give thanks to the Lord, (BV)for he is good,
(BW)for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord,
or declare all his praise?
3 Blessed are they who observe justice,
who (BX)do righteousness at all times!
4 (BY)Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
help me when you save them,[d]
5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your (BZ)chosen ones,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
that I may glory with your inheritance.
6 (CA)Both we and (CB)our fathers have sinned;
we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
7 Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they (CC)did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but (CD)rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8 Yet he saved them (CE)for his name's sake,
(CF)that he might make known his mighty power.
9 He (CG)rebuked the Red Sea, and it (CH)became dry,
and he (CI)led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 So he (CJ)saved them from the hand of the foe
and (CK)redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11 And (CL)the waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12 Then (CM)they believed his words;
they (CN)sang his praise.
13 But they soon (CO)forgot his works;
they did not wait for (CP)his counsel.
14 But they had (CQ)a wanton craving in the wilderness,
and (CR)put God to the test in the desert;
15 he (CS)gave them what they asked,
but sent (CT)a wasting disease among them.
16 When men in the camp (CU)were jealous of Moses
and Aaron, (CV)the holy one of the Lord,
17 (CW)the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 (CX)Fire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They (CY)made a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20 They (CZ)exchanged the glory of God[e]
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They (DA)forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in (DB)the land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore (DC)he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his (DD)chosen one,
(DE)stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they (DF)despised (DG)the pleasant land,
having (DH)no faith in his promise.
25 They (DI)murmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore he (DJ)raised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27 and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
(DK)scattering them among the lands.
28 Then they (DL)yoked themselves to the (DM)Baal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to (DN)the dead;
29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30 Then (DO)Phinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stayed.
31 And that was (DP)counted to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.
32 They (DQ)angered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33 for they (DR)made his spirit bitter,[f]
and he (DS)spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not (DT)destroy the peoples,
(DU)as the Lord commanded them,
35 but they (DV)mixed with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
36 They served their idols,
which became (DW)a snare to them.
37 They (DX)sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to (DY)the demons;
38 they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was (DZ)polluted with blood.
39 Thus they (EA)became unclean by their acts,
and (EB)played the whore in their deeds.
40 Then (EC)the anger of the Lord was kindled against (ED)his people,
and he abhorred his (EE)heritage;
41 he (EF)gave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies (EG)oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 (EH)Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their (EI)purposes
and were (EJ)brought low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he (EK)heard their cry.
45 For their sake he (EL)remembered his covenant,
and (EM)relented according to (EN)the abundance of his steadfast love.
46 He caused them to be (EO)pitied
by all those who held them captive.
47 (EP)Save us, O Lord our God,
and (EQ)gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
48 (ER)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
(ES)And let all the people say, “Amen!”
(ET)Praise the Lord!

Psalm 105-106
New International Version
Psalm 105(A)
1 Give praise to the Lord,(B) proclaim his name;(C)
make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him,(D) sing praise to him;(E)
tell of all his wonderful acts.(F)
3 Glory in his holy name;(G)
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face(H) always.
5 Remember the wonders(I) he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,(J)
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,(K)
his chosen(L) ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant(M) forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9 the covenant he made with Abraham,(N)
the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it(O) to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:(P)
11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(Q)
as the portion you will inherit.”(R)
12 When they were but few in number,(S)
few indeed, and strangers in it,(T)
13 they wandered from nation to nation,(U)
from one kingdom to another.
14 He allowed no one to oppress(V) them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(W)
15 “Do not touch(X) my anointed ones;
do my prophets(Y) no harm.”
16 He called down famine(Z) on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.(AA)
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,(AB)
his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold(AC) came to pass,
till the word(AD) of the Lord proved him true.
20 The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.(AE)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,
22 to instruct his princes(AF) as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.(AG)
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(AH)
Jacob resided(AI) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(AJ)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous(AK) for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned(AL) to hate his people,
to conspire(AM) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(AN) his servant,
and Aaron,(AO) whom he had chosen.(AP)
27 They performed(AQ) his signs(AR) among them,
his wonders(AS) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(AT) and made the land dark—
for had they not rebelled against(AU) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(AV)
causing their fish to die.(AW)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(AX)
which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(AY) and there came swarms of flies,(AZ)
and gnats(BA) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(BB)
with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(BC) and fig trees(BD)
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(BE) and the locusts came,(BF)
grasshoppers(BG) without number;(BH)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(BI) in their land,
the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(BJ)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(BK) had fallen on them.
39 He spread out a cloud(BL) as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.(BM)
40 They asked,(BN) and he brought them quail;(BO)
he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(BP)
41 He opened the rock,(BQ) and water gushed out;
it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 For he remembered his holy promise(BR)
given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(BS)
his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(BT)
and they fell heir to what others had toiled(BU) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.(BV)
Psalm 106(BX)
2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts(CB) of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are those who act justly,(CC)
who always do what is right.(CD)
4 Remember me,(CE) Lord, when you show favor(CF) to your people,
come to my aid(CG) when you save them,
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity(CH) of your chosen ones,(CI)
that I may share in the joy(CJ) of your nation
and join your inheritance(CK) in giving praise.
6 We have sinned,(CL) even as our ancestors(CM) did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.(CN)
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt,
they gave no thought(CO) to your miracles;
they did not remember(CP) your many kindnesses,
and they rebelled by the sea,(CQ) the Red Sea.[c]
8 Yet he saved them(CR) for his name’s sake,(CS)
to make his mighty power(CT) known.
9 He rebuked(CU) the Red Sea, and it dried up;(CV)
he led them through(CW) the depths as through a desert.
10 He saved them(CX) from the hand of the foe;(CY)
from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.(CZ)
11 The waters covered(DA) their adversaries;
not one of them survived.
12 Then they believed his promises
and sang his praise.(DB)
13 But they soon forgot(DC) what he had done
and did not wait for his plan to unfold.(DD)
14 In the desert(DE) they gave in to their craving;
in the wilderness(DF) they put God to the test.(DG)
15 So he gave them(DH) what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease(DI) among them.
16 In the camp they grew envious(DJ) of Moses
and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
17 The earth opened(DK) up and swallowed Dathan;(DL)
it buried the company of Abiram.(DM)
18 Fire blazed(DN) among their followers;
a flame consumed the wicked.
19 At Horeb they made a calf(DO)
and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
20 They exchanged their glorious God(DP)
for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
21 They forgot the God(DQ) who saved them,
who had done great things(DR) in Egypt,
22 miracles in the land of Ham(DS)
and awesome deeds(DT) by the Red Sea.
23 So he said he would destroy(DU) them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach(DV) before him
to keep his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they despised(DW) the pleasant land;(DX)
they did not believe(DY) his promise.
25 They grumbled(DZ) in their tents
and did not obey the Lord.
26 So he swore(EA) to them with uplifted hand
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,(EB)
27 make their descendants fall among the nations
and scatter(EC) them throughout the lands.
28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor(ED)
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
29 they aroused the Lord’s anger(EE) by their wicked deeds,(EF)
and a plague(EG) broke out among them.
30 But Phinehas(EH) stood up and intervened,
and the plague was checked.(EI)
31 This was credited to him(EJ) as righteousness
for endless generations(EK) to come.
32 By the waters of Meribah(EL) they angered the Lord,
and trouble came to Moses because of them;
33 for they rebelled(EM) against the Spirit(EN) of God,
and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[d](EO)
34 They did not destroy(EP) the peoples
as the Lord had commanded(EQ) them,
35 but they mingled(ER) with the nations
and adopted their customs.
36 They worshiped their idols,(ES)
which became a snare(ET) to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons(EU)
and their daughters to false gods.(EV)
38 They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons(EW) and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39 They defiled themselves(EX) by what they did;
by their deeds they prostituted(EY) themselves.
40 Therefore the Lord was angry(EZ) with his people
and abhorred his inheritance.(FA)
41 He gave them into the hands(FB) of the nations,
and their foes ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed(FC) them
and subjected them to their power.
43 Many times he delivered them,(FD)
but they were bent on rebellion(FE)
and they wasted away in their sin.
44 Yet he took note of their distress
when he heard their cry;(FF)
45 for their sake he remembered his covenant(FG)
and out of his great love(FH) he relented.(FI)
46 He caused all who held them captive
to show them mercy.(FJ)
47 Save us,(FK) Lord our God,
and gather us(FL) from the nations,
that we may give thanks(FM) to your holy name(FN)
and glory in your praise.
48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”(FO)
Praise the Lord.

English Standard Version
The Example of Christ
15 (A)We who are strong (B)have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 (C)Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For (D)Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, (E)“The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” 4 For (F)whatever was written in former days was written for our (G)instruction, that through endurance and through (H)the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you (I)to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify (J)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (K)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (L)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (M)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(N)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(O)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(P)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(Q)(R)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(S)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all (T)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 (U)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with (V)all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, (W)because of the grace given me by God 16 to be (X)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles (Y)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that (Z)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have (AA)reason to be proud of (AB)my work for God. 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except (AC)what Christ has accomplished through me (AD)to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, 19 (AE)by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that (AF)from Jerusalem and all the way around (AG)to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; 20 and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, (AH)lest I build on someone else's foundation, 21 but as it is written,
(AI)“Those who have never been told of him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand.”

Romans 15:1-21
New International Version
Romans 15:1-21
New International Version
15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C) 3 For even Christ did not please himself(D) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a](E) 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,(F) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(H) the God and Father(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Accept one another,(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b](K) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(L) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(M) might glorify God(N) for his mercy. As it is written:
10 Again, it says,
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse(R) will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f](S)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(T) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(U)
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,(V) filled with knowledge(W) and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me(X) 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.(Y) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,(Z) so that the Gentiles might become an offering(AA) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus(AB) in my service to God.(AC) 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles(AD) to obey God(AE) by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders,(AF) through the power of the Spirit of God.(AG) So from Jerusalem(AH) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.(AI) 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel(AJ) where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.(AK) 21 Rather, as it is written:
