- For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head. - “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.” - 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. - When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. - By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
- For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me. - My times are in your hand;
rescue me from the hand of my enemies
and from my persecutors! - For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. - 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. - Hear, my son, and accept my words,
that the years of your life may be many. - Your testimonies are my heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart. - If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
- I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me tread on my high places. - But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me. - O God, you are my God;
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land
where there is no water. - My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
for length of days and years of life
and peace they will add to you. - My son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart. - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! - Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
- My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed. - He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.” - I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.Next verse!With image
