- For you are my rock and my fortress,
therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me. - My times are in your hand.
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. - Make your face to shine on your servant.
Save me in your loving kindness. - Oh how great is your goodness,
which you have laid up for those who fear you,
which you have worked for those who take refuge in you,
before the sons of men! - Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who hope in Yahweh. - Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is covered. - When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
- I acknowledged my sin to you.
I didn’t hide my iniquity.
I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah. - You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. - I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
I will counsel you with my eye on you. - For Yahweh’s word is right.
All his work is done in faithfulness. - He loves righteousness and justice.
The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. - By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made:
all their army by the breath of his mouth. - Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. - Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his loving kindness. - Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh,
since we have hoped in you. - I will bless Yahweh at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth. - I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears. - This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles. - Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,
but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing. - Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking lies. - Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it. - Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry. - Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil,
to cut off their memory from the earth.
The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart,
and saves those who have a crushed spirit.We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.Next verse!With image
