- Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has long ago approved what you do.
- Keep my steps steady according to your promise,
and never let iniquity have dominion over me. - So acknowledge today and take to heart that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
- When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. - The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him. - The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
- Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me. - A cheerful heart is a good medicine,
but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up. - It is well with those who deal generously and lend,
who conduct their affairs with justice. - Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- But I trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me. - Happy are those who keep his decrees,
who seek him with their whole heart. - And ‘to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength,’ and ‘to love one's neighbor as oneself,’—this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
- Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.
- Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
See if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. - So teach us to count our days
that we may gain a wise heart. - If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse on you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.
- All deeds are right in the sight of the doer,
but the Lord weighs the heart. - Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
- The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. - They will hunger no more, and thirst no more;
the sun will not strike them,
nor any scorching heat;
for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
