661 Shout joyfully to God , all the earth ; 2 Sing the glory of His name ; Make His praise glorious . 3 Say to God , "How awesome are Your works ! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You. 4 " All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name ." Selah . 5 Come and see the works of God , Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men . 6 He turned the sea into dry land ; They passed through the river on foot ; There let us rejoice in Him! 7 He rules by His might forever ; His eyes keep watch on the nations ; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah .
8 Bless our God , O peoples , And sound e His praise abroad, 9 Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip . 10 For You have tried us, O God ; You have refined us as silver is refined . 11 You brought us into the net ; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins . 12 You made men ride over our heads ; We went through fire and through water , Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance .
13 I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings ; I shall pay You my vows , 14 Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress . 15 I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts , With the smoke of rams ; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats . Selah . 16 Come and hear , all who fear God , And I will tell of what He has done for my soul . 17 I cried to Him with my mouth , And He was extolled with my tongue . 18 If I regard wickedness in my heart , The Lord will not hear ; 19 But certainly God has heard ; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer . 20 Blessed be God , Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.
671 God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us- Selah . 2 That Your way may be known on the earth , Your salvation among all nations . 3 Let the peoples praise You, O God ; Let all the peoples praise You. 4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy ; For You will judge the peoples with uprightness And guide the nations on the earth . Selah . 5 Let the peoples praise You, O God ; Let all the peoples praise You. 6 The earth has yielded its produce ; God , our God , blesses us. 7 God blesses us, That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.
71 Or do you not know , brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law ), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives ? 2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living ; but if her husband dies , she is released from the law concerning the husband . 3 So then , if while her husband is living she is joined to another man , she shall be called an adulteress ; but if her husband dies , she is free from the law , so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man . 4 Therefore , my brethren , you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ , so that you might be joined to another , to Him who was raised from the dead , in order that we might bear fruit for God . 5 For while we were in the flesh , the sinful passions , which were aroused by the Law , were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death . 6 But now we have been released from the Law , having died to that by which we were bound , so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter .
7 What shall we say then ? Is the Law sin ? May it never be! On the contrary , I would not have come to know sin except through the Law ; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said , " YOU SHALL NOT COVET ." 8 But sin , taking opportunity through the commandment , produced in me coveting of every kind ; for apart from the Law sin is dead . 9 I was once alive apart from the Law ; but when the commandment came , sin became alive and I died ; 10 and this commandment , which was to result in life , proved to result in death for me; 11 for sin , taking an opportunity through the commandment , deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So then , the Law is holy , and the commandment is holy and righteous and good . 13 Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin , in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good , so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful .
14 For we know that the Law is spiritual , but I am of flesh , sold into bondage to sin . 15 For what I am doing , I do not understand ; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate . 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law , confessing that the Law is good . 17 So now , no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh ; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want , I do not do , but I practice the very evil that I do not want . 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want , I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good . 22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man , 23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members . 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death ? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord ! So then , on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God , but on the other , with my flesh the law of sin .
