- When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
- Yahweh is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. - The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously. - Yahweh is near to all those who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry. - With my whole heart I have sought you.
Don’t let me wander from your commandments. - Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised!
His greatness is unsearchable. - I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Blessed are those who keep his statutes,
who seek him with their whole heart. - But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people.
He crowns the humble with salvation. - I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart. - He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.
I will never be greatly shaken. - Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - I spread out my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. - The entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple. - For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens,
and your truth to the skies. - Establish my footsteps in your word.
Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me. - The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell in it. - Whom do I have in heaven?
There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. - What is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him? - My salvation and my honor is with God.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. - My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? - Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies.
Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. - Yahweh will give strength to his people.
Yahweh will bless his people with peace.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”Next verse!With image
