Psalm 87

Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

He has founded his city on the holy mountain.(A)
The Lord loves the gates of Zion(B)
    more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:[a](C)
“I will record Rahab[b](D) and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia(E) too, and Tyre(F), along with Cush[c]
    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”[d](G)
Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her,
    and the Most High himself will establish her.”
The Lord will write in the register(H) of the peoples:
    “This one was born in Zion.”

As they make music(I) they will sing,
    “All my fountains(J) are in you.”

Psalm 88[e]

A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth.[f] A maskil[g] of Heman the Ezrahite.

Lord, you are the God who saves me;(K)
    day and night I cry out(L) to you.
May my prayer come before you;
    turn your ear to my cry.

I am overwhelmed with troubles(M)
    and my life draws near to death.(N)
I am counted among those who go down to the pit;(O)
    I am like one without strength.(P)
I am set apart with the dead,
    like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
    who are cut off(Q) from your care.

You have put me in the lowest pit,
    in the darkest depths.(R)
Your wrath(S) lies heavily on me;
    you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.[h](T)
You have taken from me my closest friends(U)
    and have made me repulsive to them.
I am confined(V) and cannot escape;(W)
    my eyes(X) are dim with grief.

I call(Y) to you, Lord, every day;
    I spread out my hands(Z) to you.
10 Do you show your wonders to the dead?
    Do their spirits rise up and praise you?(AA)
11 Is your love declared in the grave,
    your faithfulness(AB) in Destruction[i]?
12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness,
    or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?

13 But I cry to you for help,(AC) Lord;
    in the morning(AD) my prayer comes before you.(AE)
14 Why, Lord, do you reject(AF) me
    and hide your face(AG) from me?

15 From my youth(AH) I have suffered(AI) and been close to death;
    I have borne your terrors(AJ) and am in despair.(AK)
16 Your wrath(AL) has swept over me;
    your terrors(AM) have destroyed me.
17 All day long they surround me like a flood;(AN)
    they have completely engulfed me.
18 You have taken from me friend(AO) and neighbor—
    darkness is my closest friend.

Psalm 89[j]

A maskil[k] of Ethan the Ezrahite.

I will sing(AP) of the Lord’s great love forever;
    with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known(AQ)
    through all generations.
I will declare that your love stands firm forever,
    that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.(AR)
You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
    I have sworn to David my servant,
‘I will establish your line forever
    and make your throne firm through all generations.’”[l](AS)

The heavens(AT) praise your wonders, Lord,
    your faithfulness too, in the assembly(AU) of the holy ones.
For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
    Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?(AV)
In the council(AW) of the holy ones(AX) God is greatly feared;
    he is more awesome than all who surround him.(AY)
Who is like you,(AZ) Lord God Almighty?(BA)
    You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

You rule over the surging sea;
    when its waves mount up, you still them.(BB)
10 You crushed Rahab(BC) like one of the slain;
    with your strong arm you scattered(BD) your enemies.
11 The heavens are yours,(BE) and yours also the earth;(BF)
    you founded the world and all that is in it.(BG)
12 You created the north and the south;
    Tabor(BH) and Hermon(BI) sing for joy(BJ) at your name.
13 Your arm is endowed with power;
    your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.(BK)

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;(BL)
    love and faithfulness go before you.(BM)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
    who walk(BN) in the light(BO) of your presence, Lord.
16 They rejoice in your name(BP) all day long;
    they celebrate your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,(BQ)
    and by your favor you exalt our horn.[m](BR)
18 Indeed, our shield[n](BS) belongs to the Lord,
    our king(BT) to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20 I have found David(BU) my servant;(BV)
    with my sacred oil(BW) I have anointed(BX) him.
21 My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.(BY)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;(BZ)
    the wicked will not oppress(CA) him.
23 I will crush his foes before him(CB)
    and strike down his adversaries.(CC)
24 My faithful love will be with him,(CD)
    and through my name his horn[o] will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.(CE)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,(CF)
    my God, the Rock(CG) my Savior.’(CH)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,(CI)
    the most exalted(CJ) of the kings(CK) of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.(CL)
29 I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.(CM)

30 “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
    and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
    their iniquity with flogging;(CN)
33 but I will not take my love from him,(CO)
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.(CP)
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
    and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;(CQ)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.”(CR)

38 But you have rejected,(CS) you have spurned,
    you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant
    and have defiled his crown in the dust.(CT)
40 You have broken through all his walls(CU)
    and reduced his strongholds(CV) to ruins.
41 All who pass by have plundered(CW) him;
    he has become the scorn of his neighbors.(CX)
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.(CY)
43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword
    and have not supported him in battle.(CZ)
44 You have put an end to his splendor
    and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short(DA) the days of his youth;
    you have covered him with a mantle of shame.(DB)

46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your wrath burn like fire?(DC)
47 Remember how fleeting is my life.(DD)
    For what futility you have created all humanity!
48 Who can live and not see death,
    or who can escape the power of the grave?(DE)
49 Lord, where is your former great love,
    which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has[p] been mocked,(DF)
    how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
51 the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked,
    with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.(DG)

52 Praise be to the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.(DH)

  16. Psalm 89:50 Or your servants have

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C) 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) 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.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(H) the God and Father(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another,(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 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 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(M) might glorify God(N) for his mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
    I will sing the praises of your name.”[c](O)

10 Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[d](P)

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
    let all the peoples extol him.”[e](Q)

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:

“Those who were not told about him will see,
    and those who have not heard will understand.”[g](AL)

22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.(AM)

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome

23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(AN) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(AO) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(AP) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem(AQ) in the service(AR) of the Lord’s people(AS) there. 26 For Macedonia(AT) and Achaia(AU) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(AV) 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.(AW) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(AX) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(AY) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,(AZ) to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.(BA) 31 Pray that I may be kept safe(BB) from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution(BC) I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people(BD) there, 32 so that I may come to you(BE) with joy, by God’s will,(BF) and in your company be refreshed.(BG) 33 The God of peace(BH) be with you all. Amen.

Personal Greetings

16 I commend(BI) to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[h][i] of the church in Cenchreae.(BJ) I ask you to receive her in the Lord(BK) in a way worthy of his people(BL) and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.

Greet Priscilla[j] and Aquila,(BM) my co-workers(BN) in Christ Jesus.(BO) They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house.(BP)

Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert(BQ) to Christ in the province of Asia.(BR)

Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.

Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.

Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ,(BV) and my dear friend Stachys.

10 Greet Apelles, whose fidelity to Christ has stood the test.(BW)

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(CE)

All the churches of Christ send greetings.

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.(CF) Keep away from them.(CG) 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ,(CH) but their own appetites.(CI) By smooth talk and flattery they deceive(CJ) the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard(CK) about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.(CL)

20 The God of peace(CM) will soon crush(CN) Satan(CO) under your feet.

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.(CP)

21 Timothy,(CQ) my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius,(CR) Jason(CS) and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.(CT)

22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.

23 Gaius,(CU) whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings.

Erastus,(CV) who is the city’s director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. [24] [l]

25 Now to him who is able(CW) to establish you in accordance with my gospel,(CX) the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery(CY) hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings(CZ) by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from[m] faith(DA) 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.(DB)
