Praise Yahweh!
148 [a]Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh (A)from the heavens;
Praise Him (B)in the heights!
2 Praise Him, (C)all His angels;
Praise Him, (D)all His hosts!
3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!
4 Praise Him, (E)heavens of heavens,
And the (F)waters that are above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
For (G)He commanded and they were created.
6 He caused them to (H)stand forever and ever;
He gave a (I)statute and it will never pass away.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth,
(J)Sea monsters and all (K)deeps;
8 (L)Fire and hail, (M)snow and (N)clouds;
(O)Stormy wind, (P)doing His word;
9 (Q)Mountains and all hills;
Fruit (R)trees and all cedars;
10 (S)Beasts and all cattle;
(T)Creeping things and winged bird;
11 (U)Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all [b]judges of the earth;
12 Both choice men as well as virgins;
The old with the young.
32 “So now, O sons, (A)listen to me,
For (B)blessed are they who keep my ways.
33 (C)Hear discipline and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
34 (D)How blessed is the man who hears me,
To watch daily at my doors,
To keep watch at my doorposts.
35 For (E)he who finds me finds life
And (F)obtains favor from Yahweh.
36 But he who [a]sins against me (G)does violence to his own soul;
All those who (H)hate me (I)love death.”
19 Now this He said, (A)signifying by (B)what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, “(C)Follow Me!”
Jesus’ Command to Follow Him
20 Peter, turning around, *saw the (D)disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had (E)leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain (F)until I come, what is that to you? You (G)follow Me!” 23 Therefore this saying went out among (H)the brothers that this disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain (I)until I come, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple who (J)is bearing witness to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his witness is true.
