- The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
he who begets a wise son will be glad in him. - The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
he will renew you in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing. - I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. - A wise child makes a glad father,
but a foolish child is a mother's grief. - On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God. - My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. - I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart. - It is you who light my lamp;
the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word. - Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace.
- My child, if your heart is wise,
my heart too will be glad. - Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to you;
I will make my words known to you. - In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears. - Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
do not hold your peace at my tears.
For I am your passing guest,
an alien, like all my forebears. - For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him. - For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances.
- Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
- The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
enlightening the eyes. - While I kept silence, my body wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - You shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
