- Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. - From the depths of despair, O Lord,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer. - The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to tread upon the heights. - Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin. - For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. - Let my teaching fall on you like rain;
let my speech settle like dew.
Let my words fall like rain on tender grass,
like gentle showers on young plants. - ‘I am the Lord your God,’ I told them. ‘Follow my decrees, pay attention to my regulations, and keep my Sabbath days holy, for they are a sign to remind you that I am the Lord your God.’
- Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.
- But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. - Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me.
- Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. - I am counting on the Lord;
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word. - Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.
- Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
- Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
- You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
beautiful in every way. - I will shout for joy and sing your praises,
for you have ransomed me. - This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.
- O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. - I love the Lord because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath! - Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
- Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. - I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears. - You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. - I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever.
