Psalms

^1:1 First Book—Psalms 1–41 Psalm 1 True Happiness in God’s Law I - Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers.

^1:2 Rather, the law of the LORD is his joy; and on his law he meditates day and night.

^1:3 He is like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; Its leaves never wither; whatever he does prospers.

^1:4 II - But not so are the wicked, not so! They are like chaff driven by the wind.

^1:6 Because the LORD knows the way of the just, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

^13:15 The Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering?

^13:16 This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?”

^13:17 When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him. The Parable of the Mustard Seed.
