The LORD's Dominion and Power

971 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice. 2 Cloud and darkness 'are' round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne. 3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries. 4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained. 5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour. 7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah. 9 For Thou, Jehovah, 'art' Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods. 10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them. 11 Light 'is' sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart—joy. 12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!

Praise for God's Righteousness

981 Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm. 2 Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness, 3 He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing. 5 Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise, 6 With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah. 7 Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it. 8 Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud, 9 Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!

The LORD's Faithfulness to Israel

991 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh. 2 Jehovah in Zion 'is' great, And high He 'is' over all the peoples. 3 They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy 'it' is.' 4 And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou—Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou—Thou hast done. 5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy 'is' He.

6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them. 7 In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them. 8 O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions. 9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy 'is' Jehovah our God!

Personal Greetings

161 And I commend you to Phebe our sister—being a ministrant of the assembly that 'is' in Cenchrea— 2 that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints, and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you—for she also became a leader of many, and of myself. 3 Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus— 4 who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations— 5 and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ. 6 Salute Mary, who did labour much for us; 7 salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me. 8 Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord; 9 salute Arbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved; 10 salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the 'household' of Aristobulus; 11 salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the 'household' of Narcissus, who are in the Lord; 12 salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord. 13 Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother and mine, 14 salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren with them; 15 salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them; 16 salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.

17 And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them; 18 for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless, 19 for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil; 20 and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ 'be' with you. Amen!

21 Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred; 22 I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord; 23 salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother, 24 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ 'be' with you all. Amen.

Concluding Doxology

25 And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent, 26 and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith— 27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him 'be' glory to the ages. Amen.
