Psalm 145:1-8

Praise to God the King

A psalm of praise. Of David.

145 I praise your greatness, my God the King;
    I will praise you forever and ever.
2 I will praise you every day;
    I will praise you forever and ever.
3 The Lord is great and worthy of our praise;
    no one can understand how great he is.

4 Parents will tell their children what you have done.
    They will retell your mighty acts,
5 wonderful majesty, and glory.
    And I will think about your miracles.
6 They will tell about the amazing things you do,
    and I will tell how great you are.
7 They will remember your great goodness
    and will sing about your fairness.

8 The Lord is kind and shows mercy.
    He does not become angry quickly but is full of love.

Nahum 1:1

1 This is the message for the city of Nineveh.[a] This is the book of the vision of Nahum, who was from the town of Elkosh.

Nahum 1:14-2:2

14 The Lord has given you this command, Nineveh:
    “You will not have descendants to carry on your name.
I will destroy the idols and metal images
    that are in the temple of your gods.
I will make a grave for you,
    because you are wicked.”

15 Look, there on the hills,
    someone is bringing good news!
    He is announcing peace!
Celebrate your feasts, people of Judah,
    and give your promised sacrifices to God.
The wicked will not come to attack you again;
    they have been completely destroyed.

Nineveh Will Be Defeated

2 The destroyer[a] is coming to attack you, Nineveh.
    Guard the defenses.
    Watch the road.
    Get ready.
    Gather all your strength!
2 Destroyers have destroyed God’s people
    and ruined their vines,
but the Lord will bring back Jacob’s greatness
    like Israel’s greatness.

2 Corinthians 13:1-4

Final Warnings and Greetings

13 I will come to you for the third time. “Every case must be proved by two or three witnesses.”[a] 2 When I was with you the second time, I gave a warning to those who had sinned. Now I am away from you, and I give a warning to all the others. When I come to you again, I will not be easy with them. 3 You want proof that Christ is speaking through me. My proof is that he is not weak among you, but he is powerful. 4 It is true that he was weak when he was killed on the cross, but he lives now by God’s power. It is true that we are weak in Christ, but for you we will be alive in Christ by God’s power.
