- God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. - Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world. - Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin. - Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me. - The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. - But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive! - Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. - But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. - I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me? - Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
May your glory shine over all the earth. - For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. - But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
a place of safety when I am in distress. - I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken. - Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken. - My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. - Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done. - O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water. - Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
how I praise you!
I will praise you as long as I live,
lifting up my hands to you in prayer. - You have tested us, O God;
you have purified us like silver. - For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke. - Yes, God will bless us,
and people all over the world will fear him. - Sing praises to God and to his name!
Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.
His name is the Lord—
rejoice in his presence!
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—
this is God, whose dwelling is holy. - God places the lonely in families;
he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.
But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!
For each day he carries us in his arms.This is what I told them: ‘Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!’ Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.Next verse!With image
