- But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. - Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.

so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble? - But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
