- 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! - Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You. - I have chosen the way of truth;
Your judgments I have laid before me. - 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.
- 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 I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’ - But I will sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have vowed.
Salvation is of the Lord. - 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 would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living. - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
- 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
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.Next verse!With image
