- God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God. - Our God is in the heavens,
and he does as he wishes. - The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. - But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive! - I have been the Lord your God
ever since I brought you out of Egypt.
You must acknowledge no God but me,
for there is no other savior. - God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
- Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.
- And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.
- Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased. - I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him. - Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and my God! - That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
- Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.
- And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
- Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
- Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him. - You have tested us, O God;
you have purified us like silver. - Arise, O Lord!
Punish the wicked, O God!
Do not ignore the helpless! - He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.”
- Yes, God will bless us,
and people all over the world will fear him. - God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. - So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world.
- Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
- As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God. - You light a lamp for me.
The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.Next verse!With image
