- You are altogether beautiful, my love;
there is no flaw in you. - You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word. - But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God. - Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. - Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.
- What are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them? - You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. - I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” - There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor?
- Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for you are my praise. - For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. - Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
on a level path. - You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah - He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
- Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
- Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me. - Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
- O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. - O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you, I will praise your name;
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure. - Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life, to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
- Who are you to pass judgment on servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
- Therefore you are great, O Lord God; for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Pray then in this way:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
