- Without counsel, plans go wrong,
but with many advisers they succeed. - Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established. - The human mind plans the way,
but the Lord directs the steps. - May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans. - The human mind may devise many plans,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established. - O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you, I will praise your name;
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure. - Surely the Lord God does nothing,
without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets. - The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands. - Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually. - Seek the Lord and his strength,
seek his presence continually. - He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. - The Lord is just in all his ways,
and kind in all his doings. - The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. - May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace! - I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death.
- O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples. - And you will say in that day:
Give thanks to the Lord,
call on his name;
make known his deeds among the nations;
proclaim that his name is exalted. - When Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
- I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth. - And keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn.
- By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. - For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
- Who builds his upper chambers in the heavens,
and founds his vault upon the earth;
who calls for the waters of the sea,
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
the Lord is his name. - Now John wore clothing of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
