- When doubts filled my mind,
your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. - My child, listen to me and do as I say,
and you will have a long, good life. - “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
- I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. - For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke. - My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
Store my commands in your heart.
If you do this, you will live many years,
and your life will be satisfying. - As for me, I look to the Lord for help.
I wait confidently for God to save me,
and my God will certainly hear me. - I said to the Lord, “You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you.” - My child, pay attention to what I say.
Listen carefully to my words.
Don’t lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart. - My future is in your hands.
Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly. - Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
I will praise my God to my last breath! - Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. - From the depths of despair, O Lord,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer. - The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to tread upon the heights. - Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin. - For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. - Let my teaching fall on you like rain;
let my speech settle like dew.
Let my words fall like rain on tender grass,
like gentle showers on young plants. - ‘I am the Lord your God,’ I told them. ‘Follow my decrees, pay attention to my regulations, and keep my Sabbath days holy, for they are a sign to remind you that I am the Lord your God.’
- Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.
- But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. - Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me.
- Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. - I am counting on the Lord;
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word. - Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.
