- O Lord, all my longing is known to you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not hide my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah - The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? - If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
- But surely, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.” - And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”
- But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
- For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. - Though the fig tree does not blossom,
and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails
and the fields yield no food;
though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will exult in the God of my salvation. - You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. - I lift up my eyes to the hills—
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue. - Hear, my child, and accept my words,
that the years of your life may be many. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God. - I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
- O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. - My times are in your hand;
deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors. - But as for me, I will look to the Lord,
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me. - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness. - God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
and makes me tread upon the heights. - My child, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart. - My child, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments;
for length of days and years of life
and abundant welfare they will give you.
