1131 Praise the Lord ! Praise , O servants of the Lord , Praise the name of the Lord . 2 Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forever e . 3 From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the Lord is to be praised . 4 The Lord is high above all nations ; His glory is above the heavens . 5 Who is like the Lord our God , Who is enthroned on high , 6 Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth ? 7 He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap , 8 To make them sit with princes , With the princes of His people . 9 He makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children . Praise the Lord !
1141 When Israel went forth from Egypt , The house of Jacob from a people of strange language , 2 Judah became His sanctuary , Israel , His dominion . 3 The sea looked and fled ; The Jordan turned back . 4 The mountains skipped like rams , The hills , like lambs e . 5 What ails you, O sea , that you flee ? O Jordan , that you turn back ? 6 O mountains , that you skip like rams ? O hills , like lambs e ? 7 Tremble , O earth , before e the Lord , Before e the God of Jacob , 8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water , The flint into a fountain of water .
1151 Not to us, O Lord , not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness , because of Your truth . 2 Why should the nations say , " Where , now , is their God ?" 3 But our God is in the heavens ; He does whatever e He pleases . 4 Their idols are silver and gold , The work of man's hands . 5 They have mouths , but they cannot speak ; They have eyes , but they cannot see ; 6 They have ears , but they cannot hear ; They have noses , but they cannot smell ; 7 They have hands , but they cannot feel ; They have feet , but they cannot walk ; They cannot make a sound with their throat . 8 Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel , trust in the Lord ; He is their help and their shield . 10 O house of Aaron , trust in the Lord ; He is their help and their shield . 11 You who fear the Lord , trust in the Lord ; He is their help and their shield . 12 The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel ; He will bless the house of Aaron . 13 He will bless those who fear the Lord , The small together with the great . 14 May the Lord give you increase , You and your children . 15 May you be blessed of the Lord , Maker of heaven and earth . 16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord , But the earth He has given to the sons of men . 17 The dead do not praise the Lord , Nor do any who go down into silence ; 18 But as for us, we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forever e . Praise the Lord !
61 Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor , dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints ? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world ? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts ? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels ? How much more matters of this life ? 4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life , do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church ? 5 I say this to your shame . Is it so , that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between e his brethren , 6 but brother goes to law with brother , and that before unbelievers ? 7 Actually , then , it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another . Why e not rather be wronged ? Why e not rather be defrauded ? 8 On the contrary , you yourselves wrong and defraud . You do this even to your brethren .
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God ? Do not be deceived ; neither fornicators , nor idolaters , nor adulterers , nor effeminate , nor homosexuals , 10 nor thieves , nor the covetous , nor drunkards , nor revilers , nor swindlers , will inherit the kingdom of God . 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed , but you were sanctified , but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God .
12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable . All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything . 13 Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food , but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality , but for the Lord , and the Lord is for the body . 14 Now God has not only raised the Lord , but will also raise us up through His power . 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute ? May it never be! 16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says , " THE TWO SHALL BECOME e ONE FLESH ." 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Flee immorality . Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body , but the immoral man sins against his own body . 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God , and that you are not your own ? 20 For you have been bought with a price : therefore glorify God in your body .
