Then King David went in and sat before Jehovah; and he said: Who am I, O Lord Jehovah? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

But I will hope continually, and I have praised You again and again.

My mouth shall recount Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day; for I do not know their number.

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us manifests the aroma of His knowledge in every place.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.

therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were encouraged concerning you regarding your faith.

For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming.

You shall destroy to blot out all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing have served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree.

You shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where Jehovah your God chooses to establish His name.

And David said to Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of Jehovah, over Israel. Therefore I have danced before Jehovah.

But the righteous are glad; they rejoice before God. Yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.

let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forests shall rejoice before Jehovah.

For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with His truth.

let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together before Jehovah,

for He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity.
