How Great Are Your Works, O Yahweh
A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.
92 It is (A)good to give thanks to Yahweh
And to (B)sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2 To (C)declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your (D)faithfulness [a]by night,
3 [b]With the (E)ten-stringed lute and with the (F)harp,
[c]With resounding music [d]upon the (G)lyre.
4 For You, O Yahweh, have made me glad by [e]what You (H)have done,
I will (I)sing for joy at the (J)works of Your hands.
12 The (A)righteous man will [a]flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a (B)cedar in Lebanon.
13 (C)Planted in the house of Yahweh,
They will flourish (D)in the courts of our God.
14 They will still [b](E)yield fruit in old age;
They shall be [c]rich and fresh,
15 To [d]declare that (F)Yahweh is upright;
He is my (G)rock, and there is (H)no unrighteousness in Him.
13 A (A)wise son accepts his father’s discipline,
But a (B)scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2 From the fruit of a man’s mouth he (C)eats what is good,
But the soul of the treacherous desires (D)violence.
3 The one who (E)guards his mouth keeps his soul;
The one who (F)opens wide his lips [a]comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
But the soul of the diligent is enriched.
5 A righteous man (G)hates a lying word,
But a wicked man [b](H)acts odiously and is humiliated.
6 Righteousness (I)guards the [c]one whose way is blameless,
But wickedness subverts the [d]sinner.
7 There is one who (J)pretends to be rich, but has nothing;
Another [e]pretends to be (K)poor, but has great wealth.
8 The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth,
But the poor hears no rebuke.
9 The (L)light of the righteous is glad,
But the (M)lamp of the wicked goes out.
10 With arrogance [f]comes only quarreling,
But with those who receive counsel is wisdom.
11 Wealth obtained from empty effort dwindles,
But the one who gathers [g]with his hand abounds.
12 [h]Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire [i]fulfilled is a tree of life.
The Gift of Righteousness in Christ
12 Therefore, just as through (A)one man sin entered into the world, and (B)death through sin, and (C)so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for [a]until the Law sin was in the world, but (D)sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned (E)in the likeness of the trespass of Adam, who is a [b](F)type of Him who was to come.
15 But [c]the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of (G)the one (H)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by (I)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand (J)the judgment arose from one transgression [d]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many transgressions [e]resulting in justification. 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned (K)through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will (L)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
18 So then as through (M)one transgression [f]there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one (N)act of righteousness [g]there resulted (O)justification of life to all men. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience (P)the many (Q)were appointed sinners, even so through (R)the obedience of the One (S)the many will be appointed righteous. 20 Now [h](T)the Law came in so that the transgression would increase, but where sin increased, (U)grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as (V)sin reigned in death, even so (W)grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
6 (X)What shall we say then? Are we to (Y)continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 (Z)May it never be! How shall we who (AA)died to sin still live in it?
