My mouth is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor all day long.

It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’
The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.
For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
The Lord has done it this very day;

So then, banish anxiety from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless.My mouth is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor all day long. Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.Next verse!With image
