Let all the nations give praise to the Lord: let all the people give him praise.

For great is his mercy to us, and his faith is unchanging for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.
6
The Lord is on my side I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?
7
The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.
8
It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.
9
It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.
10
All the nations have come round me but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
11
They are round me, yes, they are all about me but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
12
They are round me like bees but they are put out like a fire among thorns for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
13
I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.
14
The Lord is my strength and my song he has become my salvation.
15
The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
16
The right hand of the Lord is lifted up the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
17
Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.
18
The hand of Jah has been hard on me but he has not given me up to death.

Let the doors of righteousness be open to me I will go in and give praise to the Lord.
20
This is the door of the Lord's house the workers of righteousness will go in through it.
21
I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.

You are my God, and I will give you praise my God, and I will give honour to your name.

O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Romans 9
30->
30
What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
31
But Israel, going after a law of righteousness, did not get it.
32
Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way
33
As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.
Romans 10
1-21
1
Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is, that they may get salvation.
2
For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.
3
Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.
4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.
5
For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.
6
But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)
7
Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead:)
8
But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:
9
Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:
10
For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.
11
Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.
12
And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:
13
Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.
14
But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?
15
And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.
16
But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?
17
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
18
But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
19
But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.
20
And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.
21
But about Israel he says All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.
