and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God. - For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him. - Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
forget not the afflicted. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
- I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart. - Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.Next verse!With image
