1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, our brother,
2 To those who are at Colosse, saints and faithful brothers in Christ: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love toward all saints,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in Heaven; of which you have heard before by the Word of Truth, which is the Gospel.
6 It has come to you even as it has to all the world and is fruitful, as it was also among you from the day that you heard and truly knew the grace of God;
7 as you also learned from Epaphras (our dear fellow servant), who is for you a faithful minister of Christ.
8 He has also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this reason, we also (since the day we heard of it) do not cease to pray for you and to desire that you might be fulfilled with knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 so that you might walk worthily of the Lord and please Him in all things, being fruitful in all good works and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 strengthened with all might through His glorious power, leading to all patience and endurance with joy;
12 giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness and has transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son
14 (in Whom we have redemption through His blood; that is, the forgiveness of sins).
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creation.
16 For by Him were all things created which are in Heaven and which are on Earth—things visible and invisible —whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 And He is before all things. And in Him all things consist.
76 God is known in Judah. His Name is great in Israel.
2 For in Salem is His Tabernacle; and His dwelling is in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are brighter and more excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stout-hearted are spoiled. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of strength have not found their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast dead asleep.
7 You. You are to be feared. And who shall stand in Your sight when You are angry!
8 You caused judgment to be heard from Heaven. The Earth feared, and was still,
9 when You, O God, rose to judgment to help all the meek of the Earth. Selah.
10 Surely, the rage of man shall turn to Your praise; the remnant of the rage You shall restrain.
11 Vow and perform to the LORD your God, all you who surround Him; let them bring presents to Him Who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is feared by the kings of the Earth. For the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm committed to Asaph
21 My son, fear the LORD, and the King. Do not associate with those given to change.
22 For their destruction shall rise suddenly. And who knows the ruin of them both?
