- I will walk about in freedom,
for I have sought out your precepts. - I will hasten and not delay
to obey your commands. - I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life. - Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path. - Your statutes are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart. - You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word. - The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple. - Direct my footsteps according to your word;
let no sin rule over me. - All your words are true;
all your righteous laws are eternal. - Great peace have those who love your law,
and nothing can make them stumble. - Save me, Lord,
from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues. - I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. - He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber. - The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. - Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain. - Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him. - Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy. - I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope. - How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity! - The Lord will vindicate me;
your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands. - You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar. - Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely. - Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. - For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.Next verse!With image
