- For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love. - He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light. - Trust in the Lord and do good.

test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. - Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
- And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
- 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. - Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and my God! - I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
- Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”

a punishment for his own sins! - As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching.

- For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
- But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

- How great is the goodness
you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,
blessing them before the watching world. - When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him.

- You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
beautiful in every way.
