Song of Praise

holy bible book,

1 It is good to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High. On the tune of Bihag.

2 It is good to sing about your love in the morning and about your faithfulness at night.

3 It is good for you, O God, to play music on ten-stringed instruments, on fiddle, and on harp.

4 O LORD, thou hast made me glad with thy works: I will cry aloud for the work of thine hand.

5 How great are thy works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep!

6 The foolish man knoweth not, neither the foolish man understandeth it.

7 For when the wicked sprout forth like grass, and all the wicked flourish, it is because they shall perish for ever.

8 But you, O Lord, are great forever and ever.

9 Behold, thine enemy, O LORD, behold, thine enemies shall perish, and all the wicked shall be scattered.

10 But thou hast lifted up my horn like the horns of a wild ox: I am anointed with pure oil.

11 My eye hath looked upon my enemies, and my ear hath heard the voice of my adversaries.

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will wave in the courts of God.

14 They shall bear fruit in old age, they shall be green and full of juice,

15 that they may declare that the LORD is true, he is my rock, and there is no ungodly man in him.

Spiritual fullness in Christ

holy bible book,

6 You have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord. So keep living in it.

7 Your life depends on it. And the roots must be in Christ. Let your heart be steadfast in that faith, as you have been taught. Be thankful to the Lord.
Colossians 2: 7

8 Beware lest any man deceive you with vain thoughts, and with vain words, which are of the world, and of men.
Colossians 2: 8

9 In him the fullness of God lives in the flesh. You are full of Christ’s life on earth and for Christ’s sake.
Colossians 2: 9

10 Your life is complete in your relationship with Christ. Christ is the ruler of all rulers and powers.
Colossians 2:10

11 For the sake of Christ you are circumcised. That circumcision was not done by anyone. By the circumcision of Christ you are freed from the power of the sinful self.
Colossians 2:11

12 This happened when you were baptized; Your old self died and you were buried with Christ. You were raised with Christ by faith in the power of God. God’s power was manifested when He raised Christ from the dead.
Colossians 2:12

13 You died spiritually because of your sins. You were under the control of your sinful self. But God gave you life, including Christ. And all your sins are forgiven.

14 God removed the document that contained all the charges. Those accusations were made because we did not obey the law of Moses. God took him and hung him on a cross.
Colossians 2:14

15 God defeated the spiritual rulers and powers by the cross. Then he put them to shame while the whole world saw it.

Paul and Silas in Beroea

holy bible book,

11 The Jews here were better than the people of Thessalonica. They were very happy to hear their message. And the Jews of Berea read these scriptures daily, to see whether what was written in them was true.
Acts 17:11

12 Many of them became believers, and many important Greek men and women became believers.
Acts 17:12

13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica heard that Paul preached the word of God in Berea, they came there also. They also spread unrest and fear among the people in Berea.
Acts 17:13

14 So the believers quickly sent Paul away to sea. But Silas and Timothy stayed there.
Acts 17:14

15 The believers who accompanied Paul led him as far as Athens. Then they departed to Berea, and took with them a message from Paul to Silas and Timothy, “Come with me as soon as possible.”
Acts 17:15
