King James Version
1. Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. 2. Praise the LORD with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. 3. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. 4. For the word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in truth. 5. He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. 6. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. 7. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. 8. Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9. For He spoke, and it was done ; He commanded, and it stood fast. 10. The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. 11. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. 12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. 13. The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. 14. From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; 15. He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. 16. No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. 17. A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. 18. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, 19. To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. 20. Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. 21. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. 22. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.
1. << A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.>> I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 3. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. 4. I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. 5. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. 6. This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him , And saved him out of all his troubles. 7. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. 8. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 9. Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. 10. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing . 11. Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12. Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? 13. Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. 14. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. 15. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. 16. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. 18. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. 19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. 20. He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken. 21. Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. 22. The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
1. But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3. For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do , but let us watch and be sober. 7. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10. who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 11. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. 12. And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13. and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. 14. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. 16. Rejoice always, 17. pray without ceasing, 18. in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19. Do not quench the Spirit. 20. Do not despise prophecies. 21. Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22. Abstain from every form of evil. 23. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it . 25. Brethren, pray for us. 26. Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 27. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. 28. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
