Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid godless and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their word will spread like gangrene.

I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. Hold to the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.

All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be equipped, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Praise Yah!
Praise, O slaves of Yahweh,
Praise the name of Yahweh.
May the name of Yahweh be blessed
From now until forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of Yahweh is to be praised.
Yahweh is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.

Who is like Yahweh our God,
The One who sits on high,
The One who brings Himself low to see
The things in heaven and on the earth?
Who raises the poor from the dust
And lifts high the needy from the ash heap,
To make them sit with nobles,
With the nobles of His people.
He makes the barren woman of the house sit
As a glad mother of children.
Praise Yah!

Praise Yah!
How blessed is the man who fears Yahweh,
Who greatly delights in His commandments.
His seed will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness stands forever.
Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
Who sustains his works with justice.
For he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever.
He will not fear an evil report;
His heart is set, trusting in Yahweh
His heart is upheld, he will not fear,
Until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
He has given freely to the needy,
His righteousness stands forever;
His horn will be raised in glory.
The wicked will see it and be vexed,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked will perish.

Praise Yah!
I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart,
In the council of the upright and in the congregation.
Great are the works of Yahweh;
They are sought by all who delight in them.
Splendid and majestic is His work,
And His righteousness stands forever.
He has made His wondrous deeds to be remembered;
Yahweh is gracious and compassionate.
He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will remember His covenant forever.
He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them an inheritance of the nations.
The works of His hands are truth and justice;
All His precepts are faithful.
They are upheld forever and ever;
They are done in truth and uprightness.
He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever;
Holy and fearsome is His name.
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom;
Good insight belongs to all those who do His commandments;
His praise stands forever.

Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations, and men of every tongue who were inhabiting all the land: “May your peace abound! I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom, men are to fear and be in dread before the God of Daniel;
For He is the living God and enduring forever,
And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed,
And His dominion will be unto the end.
He saves and delivers and does signs and wonders
In heaven and on earth,
Who has also saved Daniel from the power of the lions.”

Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord is at Your right hand;
He will crush kings in the day of His anger.
He will render justice among the nations,
He will fill them with corpses,
He will crush the head that is over the wide earth.
He will drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will lift up His head.

With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to Yahweh;
And in the midst of many I will praise Him.
For He stands at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.

My heart is set, O God;
I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
Awake, harp and lyre;
I will awaken the dawn!
I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,
And Your truth reaches to the skies.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God,
And Your glory above all the earth.

Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Let the redeemed of Yahweh say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary
And gathered from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.

I will sing to Yahweh throughout my life;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Let my musing be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall be glad in Yahweh.

Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

Yahweh performs righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel.
Yahweh is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
He will not always contend with us,
And He will not keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
And He has not rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear Him.
For He Himself knows our form;
He remembers that we are but dust.

As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flowers.
When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.
But the lovingkindness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
To those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.

Yahweh has established His throne in the heavens,
And His kingdom rules over all.
Bless Yahweh, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word!
Bless Yahweh, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him, doing His will.
Bless Yahweh, all you works of His,
In all places of His rule;
Bless Yahweh, O my soul!
