- 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. - Lord, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief. - I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land. - Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground. - I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever. - Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does.May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.Next verse!With image
