- Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unfathomable his ways!
- 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.

blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - Come forth! Let us bow down to worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker. - Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his mercy endures forever. - How great is your goodness, O Lord,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and which you bestow on those who take refuge in you,
in the presence of all the people. - Give thanks to the Lord, invoke his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples. - Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven,
whose sin is erased. - I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your precepts. - Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the company of scoffers. - Ah, Lord God, you made the heavens and the earth by your great power and your outstretched arm. Nothing is impossible for you.
- I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like a mist.

I must decrease. - Dear children,
keep away from idols. - If you love me,

for sin is lawlessness. - Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. - This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. - Therefore, if the Son sets you free,
you then will truly be free. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - You have already been cleansed
by the word I have spoken to you. - You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’
and rightly so,
for that is what I am.
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, it will be enough for us.”The way of God is blameless,
and the Lord’s promise proves true;
he is a shield to all
who flee to him for safety. Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with a joy that is indescribable and glorious. For you are achieving the goal of your faith, that is, the salvation of your souls.Next verse!With image
