- Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me. - The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in people who are trustworthy. - Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield. - In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
- But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love. - It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
- Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
