- The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - The Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
the Lord loves the righteous. - The Lord watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. - He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. - For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory. - Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord. - Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers. - But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high. - From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people. - In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety. - In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly. - Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield. - What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.Next verse!With image
