Psalms 113; Psalms 114; Psalms 115; 1 Corinthians 6

Psalms 113

1 (112-1) Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 (112-2) Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

3 (112-3) From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

4 (112-4) The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

5 (112-5) Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6 (112-6) and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

7 (112-7) Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

8 (112-8) That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

9 (112-9) Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

Psalms 114

1 (113-1) When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 (113-2) Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 (113-3) The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 (113-4) The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 (113-5) What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 (113-6) Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 (113-7) At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 (113-8) Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

Psalms 115

1 (113-9) Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.

2 (113-10) For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?

3 (113-11) But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.

4 (113-12) The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.

5 (113-13) They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.

6 (113-14) They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.

7 (113-15) They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.

8 (113-16) Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.

9 (113-17) The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

10 (113-18) The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

11 (113-19) They that fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

12 (113-20) The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.

13 (113-21) He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.

14 (113-22) May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.

15 (113-23) Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

16 (113-24) The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.

17 (113-25) The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.

18 (113-26) But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.

1 Corinthians 6

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust: and not before the saints?

2 Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things of this world?

4 If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge who are the most despised in the church.

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren?

6 But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers.

7 Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren.

9 Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers:

10 Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God.

11 And such some of you were. But you are washed: but you are sanctified: but you are justified: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God.

12 All things are lawful to me: but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me: but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body.

14 Now God hath raised up the Lord and will raise us up also by his power.

15 Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid!

16 Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

18 Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God: and you are not your own?

20 For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.
