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 2:6-8

6 For the Lord gives wisdom;(A)
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.(B)
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
    he is a shield(C) to those whose walk is blameless,(D)
8 for he guards the course of the just
    and protects the way of his faithful ones.(E)

Acts 16:1-8

Timothy Joins Paul and Silas

16 Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra,(A) where a disciple named Timothy(B) lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer(C) but whose father was a Greek. 2 The believers(D) at Lystra and Iconium(E) spoke well of him. 3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.(F) 4 As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders(G) in Jerusalem(H) for the people to obey.(I) 5 So the churches were strengthened(J) in the faith and grew daily in numbers.(K)

Paul’s Vision of the Man of Macedonia

6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia(L) and Galatia,(M) having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia.(N) 7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus(O) would not allow them to. 8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.(P)
