deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me. - My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity. - Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name. - Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.”

and the years of your life will be many. - I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land. - Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water. - The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights. - I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope. - Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

my God, in whom I trust.” - I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.” - My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.

keep them within your heart. - Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
- I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. - In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly. - Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy. - When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
- As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. - My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered. - When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy. - Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin. - As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God. - Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine.
- I am the Lord your God; follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.
