Psalm 107Psalm 108Romans 8.1-17Psalm 107
1
O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
2
Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy
3
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way they found no city to dwell in.
5
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.
7
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
9
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron
11
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
13
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.
14
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
16
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses.
20
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.
21
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
22
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters
24
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
25
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
28
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30
Then are they glad because they be quiet so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground
34
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation
37
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39
Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
41
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock.
42
The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43
Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Psalm 108
2
Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
3
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4
For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.
5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth
6
That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.
7
God hath spoken in his holiness I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead [is] mine Manasseh [is] mine Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head Judah [is] my lawgiver
9
Moab [is] my washpot over Edom will I cast out my shoe over Philistia will I triumph.
10
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12
Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.
Romans 8
1-17
1
[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6
For to be carnally minded [is] death but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
7
Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10
And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17
And if children, then heirs heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
