- Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
- Who has done this and carried it through,
calling forth the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last—I am he. - This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
- He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” - Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
- May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. - And every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. - The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. - But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love. - This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
- Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
- Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out! - The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
- Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.
- Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
- As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God. - The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
- What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
- God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill? - You, Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures from generation to generation. - These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
- “Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord. - No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
- So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
