and prosper for us the work of our hands—
O prosper the work of our hands! - Those who are attentive to a matter will prosper,
and happy are those who trust in the Lord. - No one who conceals transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. - Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. - Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices. - To get wisdom is to love oneself;
to keep understanding is to prosper. - And keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn.

and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

and their vindication from me, says the Lord. - Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

and a refreshment for your body. - A generous person will be enriched,
and one who gives water will get water. - So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and succeed in the thing for which I sent it. - This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.
- So that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.
- I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
- So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
- And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.
- And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.
- Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. - I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. - I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances.
- And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
- I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.Next verse!With image
