All Will Praise God
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.
67 May God be gracious to us and bless us;
may he make his face shine upon us(A) Selah
2 so that your way may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.(B)
3 Let the peoples praise you, God;
let all the peoples praise you.(C)
4 Let the nations rejoice and shout for joy,
for you judge the peoples with fairness
and lead the nations on earth.(D) Selah
5 Let the peoples praise you, God,
let all the peoples praise you.(E)
6 The earth has produced its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.(F)
7 God will bless us,
and all the ends of the earth will fear him.(G)
Wisdom’s Worth
2 My son, if you accept my words(A)
and store up my commands within you,
2 listening closely[a] to wisdom
and directing your heart to understanding;
3 furthermore, if you call out to insight
and lift your voice to understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver
and search for it like hidden treasure,(B)
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and discover the knowledge of God.
Paul and Barnabas Part Company
36 After some time had passed, Paul said to Barnabas, ‘Let’s go back and visit the brothers and sisters in every town(A) where we have preached the word of the Lord and see how they’re doing.’ 37 Barnabas wanted to take along John who was called Mark. 38 But Paul insisted that they should not take along this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them to the work. 39 They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company, and Barnabas took Mark(B) with him and sailed off to Cyprus. 40 But Paul chose Silas and departed, after being commended by the brothers and sisters to the grace of the Lord.(C) 41 He travelled through Syria(D) and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
