- For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken. - For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. - On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God. - And steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work. - 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. - Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands and call on your name. - For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue. - May God continue to bless us;
let all the ends of the earth revere him. - Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds —
his name is the Lord—
be exultant before him.
Father of orphans and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land. - Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah - My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all day long. - My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have rescued. - Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you. - My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. - Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and forgive our sins,
for your name's sake. - Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved. - Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. - For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than live in the tents of wickedness. - For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. - Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart to revere your name. - Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past,
or like a watch in the night.See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.Next verse!With image
