- If you turn at my reproof,
behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you. - Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am a sojourner with you,
a guest, like all my fathers. - For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him. - For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
- O Lord, all my longing is before you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
- For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue. - Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - 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 - The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? - If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
- “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.” - But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head. - When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. - I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
- For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. - For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me. - Hear, my son, and accept my words,
that the years of your life may be many. - My times are in your hand;
rescue me from the hand of my enemies
and from my persecutors! - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God. - God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me tread on my high places.
I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. SelahHe is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.Next verse!With image
