- What god can compare with you,
the God who takes away guilt
and forgives the transgressions
of the remnant of your people?
You will not allow your anger to fester forever,
for your delight is in bestowing mercy. - If anyone wishes to serve me,
he must follow me.
Where I am,
there also will my servant be.
If anyone serves me,
my Father will honor that person. - Father, allow those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may behold my glory,
which you have bestowed on me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world. - Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

as I relate your glory all day long. - You are a place of refuge for me;

- Be mindful, O Lord, that mercy and kindness
have been yours from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth
or my many transgressions,
but remember me in your kindness,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord. - Rend your hearts and not your garments,
and turn back to the Lord, your God.
For he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, rich in kindness,
and always prepared to relent from punishing. - For your kindness extends to the heavens;
your faithfulness, to the skies. - Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you waverers.
- When you call out to me and come forth and pray to me, I will listen to you.
- Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze on what lies before you. - With the Lord to protect me I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me? - Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name give glory
because of your kindness and faithfulness. - If you love me,
you will keep my commandments. - As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts above your thoughts. - Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your crops. - Observe your father’s command, my son,
and do not reject your mother’s teaching.
The grass may wither and the flower may fade,
but the word of our God will endure forever. Continue in all of the ways that the Lord, your God, has commanded you. Continue in them so that you may live and prosper and that you may long dwell on the land of your inheritance.Next verse!With image
