Psalms 147-150

Psalms Chapter 147

¹Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him. ²The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. ³He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. ⁴He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. ⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite. ⁶The LORD upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground. ⁷Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God, ⁸who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains. ⁹He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call. ¹⁰He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. ¹¹The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness. ¹²Praise the LORD, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion! ¹³For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you. ¹⁴He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat. ¹⁵He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly. ¹⁶He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes. ¹⁷He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold? ¹⁸He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow. ¹⁹He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel. ²⁰He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise the LORD!

Proverbs 1-2

Proverbs Chapter 1

¹The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel: ²to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding; ³to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; ⁴to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man— ⁵that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel; ⁶to understand a proverb and parables, the words and riddles of the wise. ⁷The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. ⁸My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching; ⁹for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck. ¹⁰My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent. ¹¹If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause. ¹²Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit. ¹³We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder. ¹⁴You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse”— ¹⁵my son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path, ¹⁶for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood. ¹⁷For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird; ¹⁸but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives. ¹⁹So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners. ²⁰Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares. ²¹She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words: ²²“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge? ²³Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you. ²⁴Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; ²⁵but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof; ²⁶I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you, ²⁷when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you. ²⁸Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me, ²⁹because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of the LORD. ³⁰They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof. ³¹Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes. ³²For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them. ³³But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”

1: The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:

2: to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;

3: to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;

4: to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man—

5: that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel;

6: to understand a proverb and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.

7: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

8: My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching;

9: for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.

10: My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.

11: If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.

12: Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

13: We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.

14: You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse”—

15: my son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,

16: for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

17: For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;

18: but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.

19: So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.

20: Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.

21: She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

22: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?

23: Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.

24: Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

25: but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;

26: I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you,

27: when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.

28: Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,

29: because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of the LORD.

30: They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.

31: Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.

32: For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.

33: But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”

Proverbs Chapter 2

¹My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you, ²so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; ³yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding; ⁴if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; ⁵then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. ⁶For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. ⁷He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, ⁸that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints. ⁹Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path. ¹⁰For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. ¹¹Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you, ¹²to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things, ¹³who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness, ¹⁴who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil, ¹⁵who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths, ¹⁶to deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words, ¹⁷who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God; ¹⁸for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits. ¹⁹None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life. ²⁰Therefore walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. ²¹For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it. ²²But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.

4: if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;

5: then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

6: For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

14: who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil,

15: who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,

16: to deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,

17: who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God;

18: for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.

19: None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life.

20: Therefore walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

21: For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.
