My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
To make your ear pay attention to wisdom,
Incline your heart to discernment;
For if you call out for understanding,
Give your voice for discernment;
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh
And find the knowledge of God.
For Yahweh gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and discernment.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright,
A shield to those who walk in integrity,
To guard the paths of justice,
And He keeps the way of His holy ones.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice
And equity—every good track.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
To know wisdom and discipline,
To understand the sayings of understanding,
To receive discipline that leads to insight,
Righteousness, justice, and equity,
To give prudence to the simple,
To the youth knowledge and discretion;
Let the wise man hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire guidance,
To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their riddles.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge;
Ignorant fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I glorified You on the earth, having finished the work which You have given Me to do. Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.

This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.

Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!
Praise Him, heavens of heavens,
And the waters that are above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
For He commanded and they were created.
He caused them to stand forever and ever;
He gave a statute and it will never pass away.

Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre.
He is the One who covers the heavens with clouds,
The One who provides rain for the earth,
The One who makes grass to sprout on the mountains,
Who gives to the animal its food,
And to the young ravens which call out.
He does not delight in the might of the horse;
He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
Yahweh is pleased with those who fear Him,
Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh, O my soul!
I will praise Yahweh throughout my life;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Do not trust in nobles,
In merely a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his plans perish.
How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in Yahweh his God,
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever;
Who does justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh sets the prisoners free.

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down;
Yahweh loves the righteous;
Yahweh keeps the sojourners;
He helps up the orphan and the widow,
But He bends the way of the wicked.
Yahweh will reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
Praise Yah!

Yahweh is righteous in all His ways
And holy in all His works.

Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.

O God, I will sing a new song to You;
Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
Who gives salvation to kings,
Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.
Set me free and deliver me out of the hand of the sons of a foreigner,
Whose mouth speaks worthlessness
And whose right hand is a right hand of lying.

Answer me quickly, O Yahweh, my spirit wastes away;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Yahweh,
I have concealed myself in You.

Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
For the sake of Your name, O Yahweh, revive me.
In Your righteousness bring my soul out of distress.
And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies
And cause all those who assail my soul to perish,
For I am Your slave.
