1 [Selah

2 Oh bless our God, ye peoples,

3 And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

4 Who holdeth our soul in life,

5 And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

6 For thou, O God, hast proved us:

7 Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

8 Thou broughtest us into the net;

9 Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

10 Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;

11 We went through fire and through water;

12 But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;

14 I will pay thee my vows,

15 Which my lips uttered,

16 And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

17 I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,

18 With the incense of rams;

19 I will offer bullocks with goats.

20 [Selah

21 Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,

1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggæus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

4 His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

7 who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

8 the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

9 he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

10 The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.

1 Alleluia, Aggæi, et Zachariæ.

2 Lauda anima mea Dominum, laudabo Dominum in vita mea: psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus:

3 in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.

4 Exibit spiritus eius, et revertetur in terram suam: in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.

5 Beatus, cuius Deus Iacob adiutor eius, spes eius in Domino Deo ipsius:

6 qui fecit cælum et terram, mare, et omnia, quæ in eis sunt.

7 Qui custodit veritatem in sæculum, facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus: dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos:

8 Dominus illuminat cæcos. Dominus erigit elisos, Dominus diligit iustos.

9 Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet: et vias peccatorum disperdet.

10 Regnabit Dominus in sæcula Deus tuus Sion, in generationem et generationem.

Explanations by Age Level

Explain Like I'm 5

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Explain Like I'm 10

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Explain Like I'm 15

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
