- In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches. - I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your rules before me. - Incline my heart to your testimonies,
and not to selfish gain! - And I shall walk in a wide place,
for I have sought your precepts. - I hasten and do not delay
to keep your commandments. - I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have given me life. - Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - Your testimonies are my heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart. - You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word. - The unfolding of your words gives light;
it imparts understanding to the simple. - Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me. - The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever. - Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble. - Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue. - I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber. - The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain. - Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways! - Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy! - I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope. - Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity! - The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands. - O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.Know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.Next verse!With image
