- I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being. - But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.

and a refuge in the day of my distress. - I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known in all the earth. - My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed. - I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations. - Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me. - Because I delivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.

and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. - About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing. - Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! - By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. - And you will say in that day:
“Give thanks to the Lord,
call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that his name is exalted.” - God settles the solitary in a home;

- And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.

than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness. - For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
- And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” - Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.Next verse!With image
