- 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. - 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. - 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. - The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him. - 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. - 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. - Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
- 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.
- You shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
- While I kept silence, my body wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - O Lord, all my longing is known to you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - 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.
- But surely, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - 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? - Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not hide my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
Your decrees are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart.I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”Next verse!With image
