- Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my plea!
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. - The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken. - It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it. - First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. - The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity,
but it destroys the wicked. - God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
- He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. - God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through? - No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
- The very essence of your words is truth;
all your just regulations will stand forever. - Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
- Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
- Teach me your ways, O Lord,
that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart,
so that I may honor you. - Look at the proud!
They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked.
But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God. - This is a trustworthy saying:
If we die with him,
we will also live with him. - Soon I will die, going the way of everything on earth. Deep in your hearts you know that every promise of the Lord your God has come true. Not a single one has failed!
- Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything
until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets. - For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God is a solid rock? - I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
- An honest witness does not lie;
a false witness breathes lies. - “Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish. - May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us.
- The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in those who tell the truth. - You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself.
