he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - It is to one’s honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. - All my longings lie open before you, Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
- Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.Next verse!With image
