- Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,
we wait for you;
your name and renown
are the desire of our hearts. - “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
- May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you. - But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
- Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.
- Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain. - Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. - But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me. - We have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
- May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed. - But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. - Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight. - Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands. - I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I have set my heart on your laws. - Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago. - Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off. - I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you. - Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the Lord.’
- When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy. - I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life. - Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil. - I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches. - Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them”. - Great peace have those who love your law,
and nothing can make them stumble. - Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
