Psalm 65 5 8 11 13 The Passion

Psalm 65: 5, 8 -11, 13 (The Passion Translation) 5 8 You are the righteous God who helps us like a Father. Everyone everywhere looks to you, for you are the Confidence of all the earth, even to the farthest islands of the sea. O God, to the farthest corners of the planet people will stand in awe, startled and stunned by your signs and wonders. Sunrise brilliance and sunset beauty both take turns singing their songs of joy to you. Your visitations of glory bless the earth; the rivers of God overflow and enrich it. You paint the wheat fields golden as you provide rich harvests. 9

Psalm 65: 5, 8 -11, 13 (The Passion Translation) Every field is watered with the abundance of rain-showers soaking the earth and softening its clods, causing seeds to sprout throughout the land. 10 You crown the earth with its yearly harvest, the fruits of your goodness. Wherever you go the tracks of your chariot wheels drop with oil. 11 The grazing meadows are covered with flocks, and the fertile valleys are clothed with grain, each one dancing and shouting for joy, creation's celebration! And they're all singing their songs of praise to you! 13

Proverbs 3: 9 -10 (NKJV) Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the first fruits of all your increase; 9 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. 10

使徒行傳Acts 4: 1 -14 As they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them, being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

But many of those who had heard the message believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

使徒行傳Acts 4: 1 -14 On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem; and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent.

He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. ”

使徒行傳Acts 4: 1 -14 Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus. And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.
