1   Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth. 2        Worship the LORD with gladness;           come into his presence with singing. 3   Know that the LORD is God.           It is he that made us, and we are his;           we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4   Enter his gates with thanksgiving,           and his courts with praise.           Give thanks to him,…

1My child, if you have given your pledge to your neighbor, if you have bound yourself to another, 2 you are snared by the utterance of your lips, caught by the words of your mouth. 3So do this, my child, and save yourself, for you have come into your neighbor’s power: go, hurry, and plead with your neighbor. 4 Give…

11Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade others; but we ourselves are well known to God, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences. 12We are not commending ourselves to you again, but giving you an opportunity to boast about us, so that you may be able to…
