Psalm 111

¹Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
²The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
³His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
⁴He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
⁵He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
⁶He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
⁷The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
⁸They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
⁹He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Psalm 112

¹Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
²His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
³Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
⁴Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
⁵A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
⁶Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
⁸His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
⁹He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
¹⁰The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

9Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
²She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
³She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
⁴Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
⁵Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
⁶Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

4Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
²But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
³But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
⁴In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
⁵For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
⁶For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
