- Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
- I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. - Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you. - I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
- Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?”
Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” - And I will walk at liberty,
For I seek Your precepts. - Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
- I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope. - Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.
- I will strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back,
Because I have mercy on them.
They shall be as though I had not cast them aside;
For I am the Lord their God,
And I will hear them. - In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me? - I was sought by those who did not ask for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek Me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
To a nation that was not called by My name. - Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth! - I have chosen the way of truth;
Your judgments I have laid before me. - Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You. - Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. - For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
- But I will sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have vowed.
Salvation is of the Lord. - For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’ - I will praise You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments. - I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. - I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
- I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.Next verse!With image
