- I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have given me life. - Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - Your decrees are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart. - You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word. - The unfolding of your words gives light;
it imparts understanding to the simple. - Keep my steps steady according to your promise,
and never let iniquity have dominion over me. - The sum of your word is truth;
and every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever. - Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble. - Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue. - 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. - He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber. - The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. - Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord guards the city,
the guard keeps watch in vain. - Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways. - Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications! - I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope. - How very good and pleasant it is
when kindred live together in unity! - The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands. - O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from far away. - Even before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, you know it completely. - Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. - For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well. - Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
See if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness.
I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. SelahHe is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.Next verse!With image
