1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same The Lord’s name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, And his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, Who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold The things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, And to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
