- The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace. - For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
- Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name;
Make His deeds known among the peoples. - I will give thanks to You, Lord, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations. - It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in people. - So you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have singled you out from the peoples to be Mine.
- Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. The Lord is near.
- If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people.
- Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people. - And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.”
- Salvation belongs to the Lord;
May Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah - A person’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great people. - But He said, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.”
- Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased. - For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will glorify the lowly with salvation. - Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
- By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.
- Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak,
For the rights of all the unfortunate. - But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your offenses.
- One who walks with wise people will be wise,
But a companion of fools will suffer harm. - Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine.
- Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen for His own inheritance. - And on that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name.
Make known His deeds among the peoples;
Make them remember that His name is exalted.” - For if you forgive other people for their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
- But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
She will give birth to a Son; and you shall name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever. I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you with My eye upon you.Next verse!With image
