- 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.
- May God continue to bless us
and be revered to the ends of the earth. - 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. - Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God, is Lord alone. You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
- O God, you are my God,
for whom I have been searching earnestly.
My soul yearns for you
and my body thirsts for you,
like the earth when it is parched,
arid and without water. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a resolute spirit within me. - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Do you not realize that you are God’s temple, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
- Hence, be subject to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
- Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You place your trust in God.
Trust also in me. - For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all is God.
- You, O Lord, are light for my lamp;
O my God, you make my darkness turn to light. - If someone says, “I love God,”
but at the same time hates his brother,
he is a liar.
For whoever does not love the brother
whom he has seen
cannot love God whom he has not seen. - Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to all those on whom his favor rests. - Now an intermediary is not necessary when there is only one party, and God is one.
- Let everyone submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which derives from God, and whatever authorities exist have been instituted by God.
- How great you are, Lord God! There is no one like you, and there is no God except you alone, as everything that we have heard confirms.
- God is Spirit,
and those who worship him
must worship in Spirit and truth. - I will extol you, my God and King;
I will bless your name forever and ever. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory shine over all the earth. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory shine over all the earth.
Each of us must consider his neighbor’s good for the purpose of building him up.
