- I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips. - I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears. - This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles. - Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. - The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. - Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies. - Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it. - The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry. - But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth. - The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit. - The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all. - The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.Next verse!With image
