My lips shall praise You.

I will lift up my hands in Your name. - O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;

For I lift up my soul to You. - Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.Next verse!With image
