A Psalm of David.

¹ ¶ Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

² Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

³ The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.

⁴ The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD broke the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ And He made them skip like calves; Lebanon and Sirion like the sons of the unicorns.

⁷ The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

⁸ The voice of the LORD that shall shake the wilderness; the LORD shall shake the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of the LORD shall make the hinds to calve and shall uncover the forests: and in his temple every one speaks to his glory.

¹⁰ The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sat down as King for ever.

¹¹ The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people in peace.

1 ¶ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

² ¶ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD speaks, I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against me.

³ The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not have understanding.

⁴ O sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, generation of evildoers, corrupt sons! They have forsaken the LORD; they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger; they have turned back.

¹⁶ ¶ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

¹⁷ learn to do good; seek judgment; restore unto the oppressed; hear the fatherless in right judgment; protect the widow.

¹⁸ Then come, shall the LORD say, and we shall be even; if your sins were as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow; if they were red like crimson, they shall become as wool.

¹⁹ If ye are willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;

²⁰ But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

8 ¶ So that now, there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ, Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ, Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death.

³ For that which was impossible to the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh

⁴ that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

⁵ For those that are according to the flesh know the things that are of the flesh; but those that are according to the Spirit, the things that are of the Spirit.

⁶ For the prudence of the flesh is death, but the prudence of the Spirit, life and peace,

⁷ because the prudence of the flesh is enmity against God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it.

⁸ So then, those that are carnal cannot please God.
