Romans 5:6-11
New International Reader's Version
6 At just the right time Christ died for ungodly people. He died for us when we had no power of our own. 7 It is unusual for anyone to die for a godly person. Maybe someone would be willing to die for a good person. 8 But here is how God has shown his love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 The blood of Christ has made us right with God. So we are even more sure that Jesus will save us from God’s anger. 10 Once we were God’s enemies. But we have been brought back to him because his Son has died for us. Now that God has brought us back, we are even more secure. We know that we will be saved because Christ lives. 11 And that is not all. We are full of joy in God because of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of him, God has brought us back to himself.

Romans 5:6-11
New International Version
6 You see, at just the right time,(A) when we were still powerless,(B) Christ died for the ungodly.(C) 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(D)
9 Since we have now been justified(E) by his blood,(F) how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath(G) through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies,(H) we were reconciled(I) to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!(J) 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.(K)

7 That day was the first time David appointed Asaph and his helpers. He appointed them to give praise to the Lord with these words.
8 Give praise to the Lord. Make his name known.
Tell the nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him. Sing praise to him.
Tell about all the wonderful things he has done.
10 Honor him, because his name is holy.
Let the hearts of those who trust in the Lord be glad.
11 Look to the Lord and to his strength.
Always look to him.
12 Remember the wonderful things he has done.
Remember his miracles and how he judged our enemies.
13 Remember, you his servants, the children of Israel.
Remember, you people of Jacob. Remember, you who are chosen by God.
14 He is the Lord our God.
He judges the whole earth.
15 He will keep his covenant forever.
He will keep his promise for all time to come.
16 He will keep the covenant he made with Abraham.
He will keep the promise he made to Isaac.
17 He made it stand as a law for Jacob.
He made it stand as a covenant for Israel. It will last forever.
18 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It will belong to you.”
19 At first there weren’t very many of God’s people.
There were only a few. And they were strangers in the land.
20 They wandered from nation to nation.
They wandered from one kingdom to another.
21 But God didn’t allow anyone to treat them badly.
To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.
22 He said to them, “Do not touch my anointed ones.
Do not harm my prophets.”
23 All you people of the earth, sing to the Lord.
Day after day tell about how he saves us.
24 Tell the nations about his glory.
Tell all people about the wonderful things he has done.
25 The Lord is great. He is really worthy of praise.
People should have respect for him as the greatest God of all.
26 All the gods of the nations are like their statues.
They can’t do anything.
But the Lord made the heavens.
27 Glory and majesty are all around him.
Strength and joy are in the place where he lives.
28 Praise the Lord, all you nations.
Praise the Lord for his glory and strength.
29 Praise the Lord for the glory that belongs to him.
Bring an offering and come to him.
Worship the Lord because of his beauty and holiness.
30 All you people of the earth, tremble when you are with him.
The world is firmly set in place. It can’t be moved.
31 Let the heavens be filled with joy. Let the earth be glad.
Let them say among the nations, “The Lord rules!”
32 Let the ocean and everything in it roar.
Let the fields and everything in them be glad.
33 Let the trees in the forest sing with joy.
They will sing before the Lord.
He will judge the people of the world.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good.
His faithful love continues forever.
35 Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior.
Save us. Bring us back from among the nations.
Then we will give thanks to you, because your name is holy.
We will celebrate by praising you.”
36 Give praise to the Lord, the God of Israel,
for ever and ever.
Then all the people said, “Amen!” They also said, “Praise the Lord.”

1 Chronicles 16:7-36
New International Version
7 That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise(A) to the Lord in this manner:
8 Give praise(B) to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations(C) what he has done.
9 Sing to him, sing praise(D) to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name;(E)
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek(F) his face always.
12 Remember(G) the wonders(H) he has done,
his miracles,(I) and the judgments he pronounced,
13 you his servants, the descendants of Israel,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments(J) are in all the earth.
15 He remembers[a](K) his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant(L) he made with Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob(M) as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(N)
as the portion you will inherit.”
19 When they were but few in number,(O)
few indeed, and strangers in it,
20 they[b] wandered(P) from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
21 He allowed no one to oppress them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(Q)
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones;
do my prophets(R) no harm.”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory(S) among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
25 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(T)
he is to be feared(U) above all gods.(V)
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.(W)
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his dwelling place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.(X)
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;(Y)
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his[c] holiness.(Z)
30 Tremble(AA) before him, all the earth!
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.(AB)
31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;(AC)
let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!(AD)”
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;(AE)
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Let the trees(AF) of the forest sing,
let them sing for joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge(AG) the earth.
34 Give thanks(AH) to the Lord, for he is good;(AI)
his love endures forever.(AJ)
35 Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior;(AK)
gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
and glory in your praise.”
36 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(AL)
from everlasting to everlasting.
Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”
