- Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will do it.
- The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord cause His face to shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His face to you,
And give you peace. - So then, let’s not sleep as others do, but let’s be alert and sober.
- Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.
- I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you with My eye upon you. - But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
- And the Lord is the One who is going ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not desert you or abandon you. Do not fear and do not be dismayed.
- May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the perseverance of Christ.
- Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You. - I have instructed you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in upright paths. - Rid yourself of a deceitful mouth
And keep devious speech far from you. - But examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good, abstain from every form of evil.
- But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves.
- Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will also help you,
I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand. - God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water. - It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Whom do I have in heaven but You?
And with You, I desire nothing on earth. - Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!
- I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You, like a weary land. Selah - For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’ - The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You. - See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek what is good for one another and for all people.
- I will give thanks to You, Lord, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations. - Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
- And those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.
When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You.You will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.
