- Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he protects the souls of his faithful ones

- May the favor of the Lord, our God, rest upon us.
And may the work of our hands prosper—
indeed, may the work of our hands prosper. - Oh, that they would have fear of me in their hearts and they would observe all of my commandments always. Then things would go well with them and their children forever.
- The tax collector, however, stood some distance away and would not even raise his eyes to heaven. Rather, he kept beating his breast as he said, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’

from where will I receive help?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.Next verse!With image
