my Savior and my God. - Arise, O Lord! Lift up your hand, O God!
Do not forget the afflicted. - In God alone be at rest, O my soul;
it is from him that my hope comes. - Therefore, a Sabbath rest still remains for the people of God, since those who enter into God’s rest also cease from their own labors as God did from his.

and be revered to the ends of the earth. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - God is our refuge and our strength,
a well-proved help in times of trouble. - As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - For you, O God, have put us to the test;
you have purified us as silver is refined.

so that in me you may be in peace.
In the world
you will endure suffering.
But take courage!
I have overcome the world.Next verse!With image
