- Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,
and humility comes before honor. - Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always. - The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him. - ‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry forever.’ - Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near. - For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God? - Save me, Lord,
from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues. - The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me? - Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name. - The Lord sends poverty and wealth;
he humbles and he exalts. - The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.
- You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light. - The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does. - From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people. - May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you. - It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans. - Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. - For those who find me find life
and receive favor from the Lord. - The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
- I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.” - Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord. - Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.
- I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears. - I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips. - Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
