- Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
May your glory shine over all the earth. - I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him? - For the Lord delights in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory. - Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. - The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth. - Such people will not be overcome by evil.
Those who are righteous will be long remembered. - Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts. - The Lord gives his people strength.
The Lord blesses them with peace. - When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long. - In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
and the Lord answered me and set me free. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken. - The teaching of your word gives light,
so even the simple can understand. - Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth. - Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!
For each day he carries us in his arms. - The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. - Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! - But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. - Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
No one can measure his greatness. - I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. - In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. - I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. - He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. - I will shout for joy and sing your praises,
for you have ransomed me. - As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should! - For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.Next verse!With image
