Psalm 67

Psalm 67[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face shine on us—[b](A)
2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
    your salvation(B) among all nations.(C)

3 May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.(D)
4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,(E)
    for you rule the peoples with equity(F)
    and guide the nations of the earth.(G)
5 May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.

6 The land yields its harvest;(H)
    God, our God, blesses us.(I)
7 May God bless us still,
    so that all the ends of the earth(J) will fear him.(K)

Proverbs 2:1-5

Moral Benefits of Wisdom

2 My son,(A) if you accept my words
    and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
    and applying your heart to understanding(B)—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight(C)
    and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,(D)
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.(E)

Acts 15:36-41

Disagreement Between Paul and Barnabas

36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns(A) where we preached the word of the Lord(B) and see how they are doing.” 37 Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark,(C) with them, 38 but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them(D) in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. 39 They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas(E) and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord.(F) 41 He went through Syria(G) and Cilicia,(H) strengthening the churches.(I)
