- Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
do not hold your peace at my tears.
For I am your passing guest,
an alien, like all my forebears. - I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart. - Do not, O Lord, withhold
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe forever. - As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God? - Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me. - By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God. - For not by their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm give them victory;
but your right hand, and your arm,
and the light of your countenance,
for you delighted in them. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth. - Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me. - The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. - But surely, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved. - When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you. - In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I am not afraid;
what can flesh do to me? - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth. - For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds. - But I will sing of your might;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been a fortress for me
and a refuge in the day of my distress. - For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken. - For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”Next verse!With image
