Old/New Testament
105 Praise the LORD! Call upon His Name! Declare His works among the people!
2 Sing to Him! Sing praise to Him! Talk of all His wondrous works!
3 Rejoice in His Holy Name! Let the heart of those who seek the LORD, rejoice!
4 Seek the LORD and His strength. Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His marvelous works that He has done, His wonders and the judgments of His mouth
6 you seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob who are His Elect.
7 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are through all the Earth.
8 He has always remembered His Covenant promise that He made to a thousand generations
9 (which he made with Abraham) and his oath to Isaac.
10 And He has since confirmed it to Jacob for a Law, and to Israel for an everlasting Covenant,
11 saying, “To You I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
12 when they were few in number (indeed, very few) and strangers in the land
13 and walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14 Still, He allowed no man to do them wrong, but rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
15 “Do not touch My anointed, nor do my Prophets harm.”
16 Moreover, He called a famine upon the land, and utterly broke the staff of bread.
17 But, He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 They held his feet in the stocks; and he was laid in irons
19 until his appointed time came, and the counsel of the LORD had tried him.
20 The King sent and released him. The ruler of the people delivered him.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
22 so that he could bind his princes to his will and teach his ancients wisdom.
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24 And He increased His people exceedingly and made them stronger than their oppressors.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, and to deal craftily with His servants.
26 He sent Moses, His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They showed the message of His signs among them and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and made it dark. And they were not disobedient to His commission.
29 He turned their waters into blood and killed their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs, even in their king’s chambers.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies and lice in all their quarters.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flames of fire in their land.
33 He also struck their vines and their fig trees and broke down the trees on their coasts.
34 He spoke, and the grasshoppers came, and innumerable caterpillars,
35 and ate up all the grass in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He also struck all the firstborn in their land, even the beginning of all their strength.
37 He also brought them forth with silver and gold, and there was no one feeble among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad at their departing, for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and He brought quails; and He filled them with the bread of Heaven.
41 He opened the rock and the water flowed out and ran like a river in the dry places.
42 For He remembered His Holy Promise to Abraham, His servant.
43 And He brought forth His people with joy and his chosen with gladness,
44 and gave them the lands of the heathen. And they took the labors of the people in possession,
45 so that they might keep His statutes and observe His Laws. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD
106 Praise the LORD because He is good; for His mercy endures forever!
2 Who can express the noble acts of the LORD, or proclaim all His praise?
3 Blessed are those who guard justice and do righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favor of Your people. Visit me with Your salvation,
5 so that I may see the good things of Your chosen and rejoice in the joy of Your people, and glory with Your inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our Fathers. We have committed iniquity and done wickedly.
7 Our Fathers did not understand Your wonders in Egypt, nor did they remember the multitude of Your mercies; but they rebelled at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Nevertheless, He saved them for His Name’s sake, so that He might make His power known.
9 And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the deep, as through the wilderness.
10 And He saved them from the adversary’s hand and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters covered their oppressors. Not one of them was left.
12 Then they believed His words and sang praise to Him.
13 But they soon forgot His works. They did not wait for His counsel,
14 but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted God in the desert.
15 Then He gave them their desire. But He sent leanness into their soul.
16 They also envied Moses in the tents, and Aaron, the saint of the LORD.
17 The Earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
18 And the fire was kindled in their assembly; the flame burnt up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped the molten image.
20 Thus, they turned their glory into the likeness of a bullock that eats grass.
21 They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore, He intended to destroy them had not Moses, His chosen, stood in the breach before Him, to turn away His wrath lest He should destroy them.
24 Also, they despised that pleasant land and did not believe His word,
25 but murmured in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
26 Therefore, He lifted up His hand against them to destroy them in the wilderness,
27 and to destroy their seed among the nations, and to scatter them throughout the countries.
28 They also joined themselves to Baal of Peor and ate the offerings of the dead.
29 Thus, they provoked Him to anger with their own inventions; and the plague broke in upon them.
30 But, Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, and the plague was stopped.
31 And it was counted to him for righteousness, from generation to generation, forever.
32 They also angered Him at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was punished for their sakes
33 (because they troubled his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips).
34 Nor did they destroy the people, as the LORD had commanded them,
35 but mingled among the heathen and learned their works
36 and served their idols, which was their ruin.
37 Indeed, they offered their sons and their daughters to demons,
38 and shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and of their daughters whom they offered to the idols of Canaan—and the land was defiled with blood.
39 Thus, they were stained with their own works and went a-whoring with their own inventions.
40 Therefore, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against His people; and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41 And He gave them into the hand of the heathen; and those who hated them were lords over them.
42 Also, their enemies oppressed them; and they were humbled under their hand.
43 Many a time did He deliver them, but they provoked Him by their counsel. Therefore, they were brought down by their iniquity.
44 Yet, He saw when they were in affliction and He heard their cry.
45 And He remembered His Covenant toward them and repented, according to the multitude of His mercies,
46 and gave them favor in the sight of all those who had carried them away captive.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, so that we may praise Your Holy Name and glory in Your praise.
48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, forever and ever; and let all the people say, “So be it! Praise the LORD!”
3 And I could not speak to you, brothers, as to spiritual men, but as to carnal, as to infants in Christ.
2 I gave you milk to drink, and not solid food. For you were not yet able to bear it, nor are you able even now.
3 For you are still fleshly, since there is among you envying and strife and divisions. Are you not still carnal, and walking as man?
4 For when one says, ‘I am Paul’s’, and another, ‘I am Apollos’s’, are you not carnal?
5 Who is Paul then? And who is Apollos, but the ministers, by whom you believed, and as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
7 So then, neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters. But God gives the increase.
8 And he who plants, and he who waters, are one. And everyone shall receive his wages, according to his labor.
9 For we together are God’s laborers. You are God’s fellow workers, and God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God given to me, as a skillful master builder, I have laid the foundation. And another builds on that. But, let everyone take heed how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid; which is Jesus Christ.
12 And if anyone builds gold, silver, precious stones, timber, hay, or stubble upon this foundation,
13 everyone’s work shall be made apparent. For the Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by the fire. And the fire shall test everyone’s work, of what sort it is.
14 If anyone’s work that he has built upon abides, he shall receive wages.
15 If anyone’s work burns, he shall suffer loss. But he himself shall be saved, although still, as it were, by fire.
16 Do you not know that you are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone destroys the Temple of God, God shall destroy him. For the Temple of God is holy, which you are.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him be a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, ‘He catches the wise in their own craftiness’.
20 And again, ‘The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are useless’.
21 Therefore, let no one boast in man. For all things are yours,
22 whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death - whether things present, or things to come - all are yours,
23 and you Christ’s, and Christ God’s.
