You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice because of what the LORD has done. You that obey him, shout for joy!

All you that are righteous be glad because of what the LORD has done! Remember what the holy God has done, and give thanks to him.

But God has brought you into union with Christ Jesus, and God has made Christ to be our wisdom. By him we are put right with God; we become God's holy people and are set free.

So then, as the scripture says, "Whoever wants to boast must boast of what the Lord has done."

May you always be joyful in your union with the Lord. I say it again: rejoice!

Listen to the glad shouts of victory in the tents of God's people: "The LORD's mighty power has done it!

As the Scriptures say: "There is no one who is righteous,

And just as all people were made sinners as the result of the disobedience of one man, in the same way they will all be put right with God as the result of the obedience of the one man.

Let the giving of thanks be your sacrifice to God, and give the Almighty all that you promised.

But God says to the wicked, "Why should you recite my commandments? Why should you talk about my covenant?

But their words were all lies; nothing they said was sincere.

They were not loyal to him; they were not faithful to their covenant with him.

Praise the LORD, because he is good; sing praises to his name, because he is kind.

Praise the LORD! It is good to sing praise to our God; it is pleasant and right to praise him.

The LORD is pleased when good people pray, but hates the sacrifices that the wicked bring him.
