- Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. - Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned. - Trust in Yahweh, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. - Also delight yourself in Yahweh,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. - Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness shine out like light,
and your justice as the noon day sun. - Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. - Better is a little that the righteous has,
than the abundance of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but Yahweh upholds the righteous. - The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously. - A man’s steps are established by Yahweh.
He delights in his way. - For Yahweh loves justice,
and doesn’t forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. - Lord, all my desire is before you.
My groaning is not hidden from you. - Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry.
Don’t be silent at my tears.
For I am a stranger with you,
a foreigner, as all my fathers were. - I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart. - Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me. - As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants after you, God. - My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? - Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
All your waves and your billows have swept over me. - Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
In the night his song shall be with me:
a prayer to the God of my life. - Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,
the saving help of my countenance, and my God. - For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them;
but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face,
because you were favorable to them. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth. - Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
Cleanse me from my sin. - Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a right spirit within me. - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.
Behold, God is my helper.
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.Next verse!With image
