my salvation comes from him. - Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. - Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him. - Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. - My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge. - “And with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have done.” - You, God, are my 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. - Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands. - For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver. - I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue. - May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. - Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,
extol him who rides on the clouds;
rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling. - God sets the lonely in families,
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. - Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
who daily bears our burdens. - My mouth is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor all day long. - My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered. - Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you. - My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. - Help us, God our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
for your name’s sake. - Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved. - Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. - Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked. - You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
abounding in love to all who call to you. - Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name. - Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.See what great love the Father has lavished on 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. The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.Next verse!With image
