- Whom do I have in heaven?
There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. - My flesh and my heart fails,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. - Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake. - Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies.
Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. - Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. - For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. - For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you. - Teach me your way, Yahweh.
I will walk in your truth.
Make my heart undivided to fear your name. - Before the mountains were born,
before you had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. - For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,
like a watch in the night. - So teach us to count our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. - Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us.
Establish the work of our hands for us.
Yes, establish the work of our hands. - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.” - He will cover you with his feathers.
Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. - When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up. - In the multitude of my thoughts within me,
your comforts delight my soul. - Oh come, let’s worship and bow down.
Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker. - You who love Yahweh, hate evil!
He preserves the souls of his saints.
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. - Praise Yahweh, my soul!
All that is within me, praise his holy name! - Yahweh is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - Like a father has compassion on his children,
so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him. - But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,
his righteousness to children’s children,
to those who keep his covenant,
to those who remember to obey his precepts. - I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.
I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. - Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
Make his doings known among the peoples.
Seek Yahweh and his strength.
Seek his face forever more.Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.Next verse!With image
