1131 Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah. 2 The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age. 3 From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised 'is' the name of Jehovah. 4 High above all nations 'is' Jehovah, Above the heavens 'is' his honour. 5 Who 'is' as Jehovah our God, He is exalting 'Himself' to sit? 6 He is humbling 'Himself' to look On the heavens and on the earth. 7 He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy. 8 To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people. 9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!
1141 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people, 2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward. 4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock. 5 What—to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back! 6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock! 7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob, 8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
1151 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth. 2 Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, 'is' their God. 3 And our God 'is' in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done. 4 Their idols 'are' silver and gold, work of man's hands, 5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, 6 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not, 7 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not; 8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield 'is' He.' 10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield 'is' He.' 11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield 'is' He.' 12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron, 13 He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great. 14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons. 15 Blessed 'are' ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth, 16 The heavens—the heavens 'are' Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men, 17 The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence. 18 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
61 Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments? 3 have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life? 4 of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly—these cause ye to sit; 5 unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren! 6 but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers! 7 Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded? 8 but ye—ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these—brethren!
9 have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. 11 And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I—I will not be under authority by any; 13 the meats 'are' for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body 'is' not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body; 14 and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power. 15 Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make 'them' members of an harlot? let it be not! 16 have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? 'for they shall be—saith He—the two for one flesh.' 17 And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit; 18 flee the whoredom; every sin—whatever a man may commit—is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin. 19 Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own, 20 for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
