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;
