Old/New Testament
146 Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 I will praise the LORD during my life. As long as I have any being, I will sing to my God.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, for there is no help in him.
4 His breath departs. He returns to his earth. Then, his thoughts perish.
5 Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help; whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that therein is. Who keeps his fidelity forever.
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
8 The LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up the crooked. The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD keeps the strangers. He relieves the fatherless and widow; but He overthrows the way of the wicked.
10 The LORD shall reign forever! O Zion, your God endures from generation to generation. Praise the LORD!
147 Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing to our God; for it is a pleasant thing and praise is comely.
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem and gathers together the dispersed of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their sores.
4 He counts the number of the stars and calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and great is his power. His wisdom is infinite.
6 The LORD relieves the meek and abases the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the LORD with praise! Sing upon the harp to our God,
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds and prepares rain for the Earth and makes the grass grow upon the mountains;
9 Who gives food to beasts and to the young ravens that cry.
10 He has no pleasure in the strength of a horse, nor does He delight in the legs of man.
11 The LORD delights in those who fear Him and expectantly await His mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He has made the bars of the gates strong and has blessed your children within you.
14 He sets peace on your borders and satisfies you with the flour of wheat.
15 He sends forth His Commandment upon Earth; and His Word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool and scatters the hoary frost like ashes.
17 He casts forth His ice like morsels. Who can abide the cold thereof?
18 He sends His Word and melts them. He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.
19 He shows His Word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 He has not dealt so with every nation; nor have they known His judgments. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD
15 Moreover brothers, I declare to you the Gospel which I preached to you, which you have also received, and wherein you continue,
2 And whereby you are saved, if you keep in memory the Word which I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.
3 For first of all, I delivered to you that which I received, how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
4 And that He was buried, and that He arose the third day, according to the Scriptures.
5 And that He was seen by Cephas, then by the Twelve.
6 After that, He was seen by more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom many remain to this time, and some also are asleep.
7 After that, He was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen also by me, as by one born at the wrong time.
9 For I am the least of the Apostles, who is not fit to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am that I am. And His grace which is in me, was not in vain. But I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.
11 Therefore, whether it was me or them, so we preach and so have you believed.
12 Now if it is preached that Christ is risen from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God, that He has raised up Christ, Whom He has not raised up, if it be so that the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised.
17 And if Christ is not raised, your faith is vain. You are still in your sins.
18 And so those who are asleep in Christ, have perished.
19 If it is only in this life that we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind the most miserable.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead and made the firstfruits of those who slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 Yet, each in his own order: the Firstfruits, Christ; afterward, those who are of Christ, at His coming.
24 Then, the end, when He has delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when He has abolished all rule, and all authority and power.
25 For He must reign till He has put all His enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be ended, is death.
27 For He has subjected all things under His feet. (And when He says that all things are subjected, it is obvious that He is excepted, Who subjected all things under Himself.)
28 And when all things shall be subjected to Him, then shall the Son also, Himself, be subject to Him, Who subjected all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.
