- Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name! - I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
- For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover him with favor as with a shield. - May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace! - God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him! - You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
- Save us, we pray, O Lord!
O Lord, we pray, give us success!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We bless you from the house of the Lord. - The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. - Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
- Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
- For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.
- Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
- For the Lord your God will bless you, as he promised you, and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow, and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
- Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
- Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand.
- Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually! - Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways! - For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek me and live.”
For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.
