Romans 1:1-17

1
 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called
to be
an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2
 (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3
 concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4
 and declared
to be
the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5
 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6
 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7
 to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called
to be
saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8
 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9
 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10
 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

11
 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
12
 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13
 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14
 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15
 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16
 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17
 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Psalm 9:13-20

13
 Have mercy upon me, O L
ORD
; consider my trouble
which I suffer
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14
 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15
 The heathen are sunk down in the pit
that
they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16
 The L
ORD
is known
by
the judgment
which
he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17
 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
and
all the nations that forget God.

18
 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall
not
perish for ever.

19
 Arise, O L
ORD
; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20
 Put them in fear, O L
ORD
:
that
the nations may know themselves
to be but
men. Selah.

Proverbs 19:4-5

4
 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

5
 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and
he that
speaketh lies shall not escape.

1 Chronicles 15:1–16:36

1
 And
David
made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
2
 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the L
ORD
chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.
3
 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the L
ORD
unto his place, which he had prepared for it.
4
 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:
5
 of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:
6
 of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
7
 of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:
8
 of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
9
 of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
10
 of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

11
 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
12
 and said unto them, Ye
are
the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves,
both
ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the L
ORD
God of Israel unto
the place that
I have prepared for it.
13
 For because ye
did it
not at the first, the L
ORD
our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

14
 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the L
ORD
God of Israel.
15
 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the L
ORD
.

16
 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren
to be
the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
17
 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
18
 and with them their brethren of the second
degree,
Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters.
19
 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan,
were appointed
to sound with cymbals of brass;
20
 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
21
 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
22
 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites,
was
for song: he instructed about the song, because he
was
skilful.
23
 And Berechiah and Elkanah
were
doorkeepers for the ark.
24
 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah
were
doorkeepers for the ark.

25
 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
out of the house of Obed-edom with joy.
26
 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
27
 And David
was
clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also
had
upon him an ephod of linen.
28
 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

29
 And it came to pass,
as
the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

16:
1
 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
2
 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the L
ORD
.
3
 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon
of wine.

4
 And he appointed
certain
of the Levites to minister before the ark of the L
ORD
, and to record, and to thank and praise the L
ORD
God of Israel:
5
 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
6
 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

7
 Then on that day David delivered first
this psalm
to thank the L
ORD
into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8
 Give thanks unto the L
ORD
, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

9
 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

10
 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the L
ORD
.

11
 Seek the L
ORD
and his strength, seek his face continually.

12
 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

13
 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14
 He
is
the L
ORD
our God; his judgments
are
in all the earth.

15
 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word
which
he commanded to a thousand generations;

16
 
Even of the covenant
which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

17
 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law,
and
to Israel
for
an everlasting covenant,

18
 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

19
 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

20
 And
when
they went from nation to nation, and from
one
kingdom to another people;

21
 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22
 
Saying,
Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

23
 Sing unto the L
ORD
, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

24
 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

25
 For great
is
the L
ORD
, and greatly to be praised: he also
is
to be feared above all gods.

26
 For all the gods of the people
are
idols: but the L
ORD
made the heavens.

27
 Glory and honour
are
in his presence; strength and gladness
are
in his place.

28
 Give unto the L
ORD
, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the L
ORD
glory and strength.

29
 Give unto the L
ORD
the glory
due
unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the L
ORD
in the beauty of holiness.

30
 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

31
 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let
men
say among the nations, The L
ORD
reigneth.

32
 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that
is
therein.

33
 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the L
ORD
, because he cometh to judge the earth.

34
 O give thanks unto the L
ORD
; for
he is
good; for his mercy
endureth
for ever.

35
 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name,
and
glory in thy praise.

36
 Blessed
be
the L
ORD
God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the L
ORD
.
