Old/New Testament
Shin
Tav
The (C)desire of the wicked will perish.
Who Is like Yahweh Our God?
113 [a]Praise Yah!
(D)Praise, O (E)slaves of Yahweh,
Praise the name of Yahweh.
2 (F)May the name of Yahweh be blessed
From now until forever.
3 (G)From the rising of the sun to its setting
The (H)name of Yahweh is to be praised.
4 Yahweh is (I)high above all nations;
His (J)glory is above the heavens.
5 (K)Who is like Yahweh our God,
The One who (L)sits on high,
6 The One who [b](M)brings Himself low to see
The things in heaven and on the earth?
7 Who (N)raises the poor from the dust
And lifts high the needy from the ash heap,
8 To make them (O)sit with [c]nobles,
With the [d]nobles of His people.
9 He (P)makes the barren woman of the house sit
As a glad mother of children.
[e]Praise Yah!
When Israel Went Out from Egypt
114 When Israel went out (Q)from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of (R)strange language,
2 Judah became (S)His sanctuary,
Israel, (T)His dominion.
3 The (U)sea looked and fled;
The (V)Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains (W)skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.
5 What (X)disturbs you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
7 (Y)Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
8 Who (Z)turned the rock into a (AA)pool of water,
The (AB)flint into a spring of water.
To Yahweh’s Name Give Glory
115 (AC)Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,
But (AD)to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your [f]truth.
2 (AE)Why should the nations say,
“(AF)Where, now, is their God?”
3 But our (AG)God is in the heavens;
He (AH)does whatever He pleases.
4 Their (AI)idols are silver and gold,
The (AJ)work of man’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they (AK)do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
6 They have ears, but they do not hear;
They have noses, but they do not smell;
7 As for their hands, they do not feel;
As for their feet, they do not walk;
They do not make a sound with their throat.
8 (AL)Those who make them [g]will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
9 O (AM)Israel, (AN)trust in Yahweh;
He is their (AO)help and their shield.
10 O house of (AP)Aaron, trust in Yahweh;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who [h](AQ)fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh;
He is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh (AR)remembered us; He will bless!
He will bless the house of Israel.
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will (AS)bless those who [i]fear Yahweh,
(AT)The small together with the great.
14 May Yahweh (AU)give you increase,
You and your children.
15 May you be blessed of Yahweh,
(AV)Who made heaven and earth.
Lawsuits Among Believers
6 Does any one of you, when he has a [a]case against another, dare to be tried before the unrighteous and (A)not before the [b]saints? 2 Or (B)do you not know that (C)the [c]saints will judge (D)the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not worthy to [d]constitute the smallest law courts? 3 (E)Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? 4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint those who are of no account in the church as judges? 5 (F)I say this to your shame. Is it really this way: there is not one wise man among you who will be able to pass judgment between his (G)brothers? 6 On the contrary, brother is tried with brother, and that before (H)unbelievers!
7 Actually, then, it is already a failure for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. (I)Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your (J)brothers.
9 Or (K)do you not know that the unrighteous will not (L)inherit the kingdom of God? (M)Do not be deceived; (N)neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [e]effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will (O)inherit the kingdom of God. 11 (P)And such were some of you; but you were (Q)washed, but you were (R)sanctified, but you were (S)justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Flee Sexual Immorality
12 (T)All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 (U)Food is for the [f]stomach and the [g]stomach is for food, but God will (V)do away with both [h]of them. Yet the body is not for sexual immorality, but (W)for the Lord, and (X)the Lord is for the body. 14 Now God has not only (Y)raised the Lord, but (Z)will also raise us up through His power. 15 (AA)Do you not know that (AB)your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? (AC)May it never be! 16 Or (AD)do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “(AE)The two shall become one flesh.” 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is (AF)one spirit with Him. 18 (AG)Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the [i]sexually immoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or (AH)do you not know that (AI)your body is a [j]sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from [k]God, and that (AJ)you are not your own? 20 For (AK)you were bought with a price: therefore glorify God in (AL)your body.
