- When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
- I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being. - Even to your old age I am he,
and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will save. - I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
- And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
- Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
- I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope. - Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - And I shall walk in a wide place,
for I have sought your precepts. - In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? - Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
- I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back because I have compassion on them,
and they shall be as though I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them. - Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth! - I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that was not called by my name. - If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
- I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your rules before me. - For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.” - I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you. - Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! - I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous rules. - But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Salvation belongs to the Lord! - I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
- For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
- I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!The Rock, his work is perfect,
for all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,
just and upright is he. 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.Next verse!With image
