Psalms 66:17
I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.
BSB
ASV
I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.
KJV
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. It is well when prayer and praise go together, like the horses in Pharaoh's chariot. Some cry who do not sing, and some sing who do not cry: both together are best. Since the Lord's answers so frequently follow close at the heels of our petitions, and even overtake them, it becomes us to let our grateful praises keep pace with our humble prayers.
With these he unites his public thanks, inviting those who fear God (Ps 60:4; 61:5, His true worshippers) to hear. He vindicates his sincerity, inasmuch as God would not hear hypocrites, but had heard him.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
