- But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. - Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge. - Show me the right path, O Lord;
point out the road for me to follow. - I will hurry, without delay,
to obey your commands. - Our God is in the heavens,
and he does as he wishes. - He heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds. - But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive! - Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path. - Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it. - Our help is from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him. - I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him. - For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke. - Rescue me, O Lord, from liars
and from all deceitful people. - How joyful are those who fear the Lord—
all who follow his ways! - You are my refuge and my shield;
your word is my source of hope. - Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him. - I will walk in freedom,
for I have devoted myself to your commandments. - Give me an eagerness for your laws
rather than a love for money! - For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God is a solid rock? - You have tested us, O God;
you have purified us like silver. - Arise, O Lord!
Punish the wicked, O God!
Do not ignore the helpless! - I have rejoiced in your laws
as much as in riches. - Victory comes from you, O Lord.
May you bless your people. - You know what I long for, Lord;
you hear my every sigh.
Yes, God will bless us,
and people all over the world will fear him.So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him. So we can say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper,
so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me?”Next verse!With image
