PS-150:2 Praise him for his mighty acts:praise him according to his excellent greatness. PS-150:3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:praise him with the psaltery and harp. PS-150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance:praise him with stringed instruments and organs. PS-150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals:praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. PS-150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. PR-1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; PR-1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; PR-1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; PR-1:4 To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. PR-1:5 A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: PR-1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. PR-1:7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction. PR-1:8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: PR-1:9 For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. PR-1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. PR-1:11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: PR-1:12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: PR-1:13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: PR-1:14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: PR-1:15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: PR-1:16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. PR-1:17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. PR-1:18 And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives. PR-1:19 So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof. PR-1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: PR-1:21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates:in the city she uttereth her words, [saying] , PR-1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? PR-1:23 Turn you at my reproof:behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. PR-1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; PR-1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: PR-1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; PR-1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. PR-1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: PR-1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: PR-1:30 They would none of my counsel:they despised all my reproof. PR-1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. PR-1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. PR-1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. PR-2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; PR-2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply thine heart to understanding; PR-2:3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding; PR-2:4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures; PR-2:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. PR-2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom:out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding. PR-2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:[he is] a buckler to them that walk uprightly. PR-2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. PR-2:9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [yea] , every good path. PR-2:10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; PR-2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: PR-2:12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man] , from the man that speaketh froward things; PR-2:13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; PR-2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of the wicked; PR-2:15 Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their paths: PR-2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
