| 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. | The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. |
| God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful. | Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. |
|
| The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” | I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. |
| So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. | Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. |
| But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. | But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. |
| So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. | Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. |
| Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. | And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. |
| You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh. | Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. |
| I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths. | I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. |
| Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. | Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. |
| But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil. | Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. |
| See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. | See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. |
| Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. | Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. |
| The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. | The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. |
| O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. | O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. |
| Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. | Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. |
| I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” | The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. |
| I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. | I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. |
| Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. | Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children. |
| Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. | Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. |
| He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. | Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.’ | For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. |
| Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. | Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. |
| I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. | I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. |
| You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! | Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. |
