- I will shout for joy and sing your praises,
for you have ransomed me. - Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth. - My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever. - Help us, O God of our salvation!
Help us for the glory of your name.
Save us and forgive our sins
for the honor of your name. - Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved. - Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. - A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. - O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. - Teach me your ways, O Lord,
that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart,
so that I may honor you. - Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God. - For you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
as brief as a few night hours. - Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom. - And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful!
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace.Next verse!With image
