Shout praises to the LORD! He is good to us, and his love never fails.
You should praise the LORD for his love and for the wonderful things he does for all of us.
I will offer you a sacrifice to show how grateful I am, and I will pray.
You paid attention to me, and so I will pray to you as long as I live.
and you are near to everyone whose prayers are sincere.
I love the temple where you live, and where your glory shines.
One day in your temple is better than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather serve in your house, than live in the homes of the wicked.
When you beg the LORD for help, he will answer, “Here I am!” Don't ill-treat others or falsely accuse them or say something cruel.
You will turn back to me and ask for help, and I will answer your prayers.
I will purify each language and make those languages acceptable for praising me. Then, with hearts united, everyone will serve only me, the LORD.
To God's church in Corinth. Christ Jesus chose you to be his very own people, and you worship in his name, as we and all others do who call him Lord.
