because he has dealt bountifully with me. - Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.

For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
And rend your hearts and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster.But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.Next verse!With image
